https://www.nbcnews.com/news/man-charged-threatening-kill-black-people-tops-market-buffalo-rcna39614A Washington state man was arrested for allegedly calling a Buffalo supermarket and threatening to kill Black people there and at a nearby store where a white gunman killed 10 Black people in May, authorities said Friday.
Joey David George, 37, is accused of calling a Tops grocery store on July 19 and asking how many black people were inside. He then asked if he would make the news if he shot and killed all of the Black people, including all of the women, children, and babies, according to a federal criminal complaint.
George went on to say that he had assault rifles, was a really good shot and could pick off people from the parking lot, the complaint says.
The suspect also said that if he didnt see anyone at the store, he would go to the nearby Tops store on Jefferson Avenue, the site of the mass shooting in May, according to the complaint.
The next day, George called back and ranted about a race war.
This is what happens in a blue state, he said, according to the complaint.
The caller tried to mask his phone number by using *67, but the FBI was able to trace the calls to Georges phone, the complaint says.

He can be gotten off the street before he actually does anything.
Guess he doesn't watch enough crime shows.... If I finally break down and descend to the level of phoning in threats to wingnuts, I'll know enough to use a "burner phone" and disconnect the battery when not in use!
