Feds nab a terrorist who was a reporter for the Intercept. |
The alt-right continues to build the case against the left by saying that the individual responsible for threats on a Jewish community centers is responsible for the attacks on Jewish cemeteries.
Is it likely the culprit in the remaining attacks is still on the loose?
Juan Thompson is being arrested by the feds after he confessed to calling a Jewish center and trying to frame the criminal act on his ex-girl.
The suspect is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. He could face up to 35 years in federal prison if the feds can prove that this is a hate crime.
Thompson was then a writer for the progressive blog The Intercept. The man resides in Missouri and is considered the person of interest in at least a handful of calls threatening Jewish centers and the Anti-Defamation League.
As far as the feds know, he's not the person who knocked over graves in other cases.
The Intercept is a website founded by Glenn Greenwald and Jeremy Scahill. They are truly regretful that they hired a man with such disdain towards religion, race, and the very issues that they thought he stood for.
"We were horrified to learn this morning that Juan Thompson, a former employee of The Intercept, has been arrested in connection with bomb threats against the ADL and mulitple Jewish Community Centers in addition to cyberstalking. These actions are heinous and should be fully investigated and prosecuted. We have no information about the charges against Thompson other than what is included in the criminal complain. Thompson worked for The Intercept from November 2014 to January 2016, when he was fired after we discovered that he had fabricated sources and quotes in his articles."
Of course, ADL has wrote about Thompson. They believe he's a kookspiracy theorist who believes in "false flag" operations. Thompson complained that the tragedy in Charleston where a White extremist killed nine church goers were a plot created by the Jews.
Mind you there were Black churches burnt down. There were reports of mosque having decapitated pig heads and death threats sent. And spray painting slanderous comments about the "radical Islam" on the walls of mosques. Of course, Trump's SOTU saying "radical Islamic terrorism" isn't much helpful either.
Thompson is a drop in the bucket. He's a symptom of Donald J. Trump's victory. Extremism is on the rise and this example is proof.
It's not a Black, White, Brown, Christian, Jewish, Muslim, or gay problem. It's a terrorist problem..
While I solely blame the person for the criminal acts, the "blame game" continues to sail right along.
Since this falls on Trump, why don't I just blame fuhrer Donald J. Trump for this?
Oh by the way, expect more of these!
Now that Republicans rolled back firearm regulations, more mental cases will be able to actually carry out their attacks on Muslims, Jews, Blacks, Hispanics, immigrants, gays and abortion providers.
