Connecticut man charged with threatening Jews online

[Behind the Aegis]

A Connecticut man already in custody after large quantities of firearms and ammunition were seized from his home was indicted on charges he made online threats to kill or injure Jews and other people, the U.S. Department of Justice said on Thursday.

Kendall Sullivan, 50, of Stamford, was charged on Wednesday by a federal grand jury in Bridgeport, Connecticut, with three counts of making threatening communications online, each punishable by up to five years in prison.

The defendant has been in custody since July 15, when he was charged in state court with unlawful possession of unregistered high-capacity magazines, the Justice Department said.

On the same day, FBI agents and Stamford police seized more than two dozen firearms, hundreds of rounds of ammunition and other firearm components from his home, the department added.

Though he is now claiming he wasn't going to anything (we all know how brave the Cheetos-tipped finger brigade is), but can't take a chance.

Good for the posters on that metal forum for taking that seriously and reporting it.

8. I agree!

Rather than blowing it off, offering to drive him to various venues, they took it seriously and made a difference. I do wonder though how close we are to something like this happening.

6. Hatred and ignorance have become "en vogue"

Not sure tRump is a symptom or the cause .... but there certainly is a sickening synergy

9. It really is a "chicken or the egg" type of question.

Though, hate for Jews is never in short supply.
