A Civil War reenactor, Gerald Leonard Drake, devised a plan to plant a pipe bomb at a Virginia battlefield in 2017 and falsely blame Antifa in letters that he wrote, but that backfired.

The Associated Press reports: Drake admitted during a hearing Monday in federal court in Harrisonburg that he planted a pipe bomb at Cedar Creek Battlefield during an annual reenactment in October 2017.
