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. Drake, 63, of Winchester, pleaded guilty to possessing an unregistered explosive device and stalking. 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.
