A gun-making far-right extremist who said minorities ‘should be shot’ and accidentally blew up his kitchen while experimenting with explosives has been convicted of terrorism offences. Bungling Vaughn Dolphin filmed himself in a gas mask surrounded by a choking cloud of smoke, after attempting to blend a blast mixture in a saucepan, on a domestic hob. Bragging afterwards about causing an ‘awesome fireball’ in a series of selfie videos, later posted into extreme far-right chatrooms, he complained: ‘Ah the bastard f mixture set itself prematurely, oh my God’, then quipped: ‘Next time I’ll do this outside, but, ah well, you live and learn.’ When arrested on June 27, 2022, college student Dolphin told police: ‘I’m not a terrorist, okay? I have an interest in chemicals and military memorabilia, that’s all’. Dolphin, of Walsall Wood Road, Aldridge, Walsall, West Midlands was convicted at Birmingham Crown Court on Friday of two charges of possession of explosives, after blast ingredients, including nitrocellulose, were found in his house. He was also found guilty of having an unlicensed firearm – a gun he had made from a length of metal tube – as well as several terrorism offences. At his home, officers had uncovered a treasure trove of how-to guides on how to build a shotgun and homemade plastic explosives, and how to conduct arson attacks, found on his bedroom shelf on an encrypted USB thumb drive. Also discovered was a host of material glorifying Hitler’s feared Second World War Nazi war-fighting organisation the Waffen SS, as well as a rudimentary musket made by Dolphin in his shed from a piece of aluminium tube – which police described as a ‘viable’ firearm. Dolphin took to extremist Telegram chatrooms, speaking of creating his hand-held ‘cannon’, and talking about mixing gunpowder, adding he would do ‘something that would make (the Unabomber US terrorist) Ted Kaczynski blush’.
