  • David John Copeland is a former member of the British National Socialist Movement, who became known as the "London Nail Bomber" after a 13-day bombing campaign in April 1999 aimed at London's black, Bangladeshi and gay communities. Copeland placed homemade nail bombs at targets in London, each containing up to 1,500 four-inch nails, on three occasions before he was arrested. Firstly, on 17 April outside a supermarket in Electric Avenue, Brixton, an area of South London with a large black population; then on 24 April in Brick Lane in the East End of London, which has a large South Asian community; and finally on 30 April in the Admiral Duncan pub in Soho's Old Compton Street, the heart of London's gay community. The bombs killed three, including a pregnant woman, and injured 129, four of whom lost limbs. No warnings were given. Although Copeland was diagnosed by five psychiatrists as having paranoid schizophrenia and a consultant concluded he had a personality disorder, his plea of diminished responsibility was not accepted by the prosecution, which was under pressure not to concede to his pleas of guilty to manslaughter. He was convicted of murder on June 30, 2000, and was sentenced to six concurrent terms of life imprisonment. The trial judge spoke of his doubt whether it would ever be safe for Copeland to be released.
  • David John Copeland, né 15 mai 1976, est un ancien membre du parti néo-nazi anglais, le National Socialist Movement qui fut mieux connu sous le pseudonyme du Nailbomber après une série d'attentats de 13 jours visant des Noirs, des Asiatiques, et des homosexuels à Londres. Durant trois semaines successives, Copeland plaça des bombes à fragmentations, chacune contenant 1500 clous de 1 centimètre de long, à l'extérieur d'un supermarché d'Electric Avenue à Brixton, un quartier du sud de Londres avec une très forte population noire, à Brick Lane, quartier de l'est de Londres avec une grande communauté asiatique, et au Admiral Duncan Pub sur la Old Compton Street à Soho, cœur de la communauté gay Londonnienne. Les bombes explosèrent sans qu'aucun avertissement ne soit donné. Les attaques firent trois morts, toutes au Admiral Duncan Pub. Au total, les trois attaques firent 129 blessés, dont 4 subirent des amputations et 26 des brûlures graves. Bien que Copeland fut diagnostiqué comme ayant des troubles de paranoïa schizophréne et des troubles de la personnalité, sa réclamation de responsabilité réduite fut rejetée et il fut accusé de meurtres le 30 juin 2000, et reçut six condamnations à vie.
