"He intended to commit mass shootings at two locations — destroying countless lives and devastating our community — all because of his fanatical hatred for gay people," she said “(Tuesday's) guilty plea is a reflection of my office’s commitment to prosecuting bias crimes and is a critical step in holding this defendant accountable for his actions.” According to the Dec. 16 plea agreement, Davis faces up to 14 years in prison and five years of supervised release The charge carries a maximum fine of $250,000 but no agreement on a fine is recorded in the plea Court records indicate Davis is

wrote that it was “filled with far-left liberal Davis wrote that he would continue the mass killings at “Location 2,” a nearby bar that was “a (gay slur) bar,” officials said in a release Davis

warrant by the Owosso Police Department after that shooting Davis was later transferred to federal custody “Mack Davis’ guilty plea to a federal hate crime highlights the unwavering dedication of law enforcement to uphold the safety and security of every community in Michigan,” said Special Agent in Charge Cheyvoryea Gibson of the FBI Detroit Field Office This story has been updated to correct the
