On January 2, 2018, 19 year old Blaze Bernstein left his family home in Orange County, CA. He was eventually found dead on January 9, he had been stabbed 19 times. A classmate of Blaze's named Sam Woodward was arrested on January 12, charged with murder and a hate crime. Sam had been a member of a Neo-Nazi group called Atomwaffen, and it's believe he killed Blaze because he was openly gay and Jewish.   Sam Woodward is currently awaiting trial, which has been postponed due to COVID-19.
