Those deliberately responsible for any massacre should be subject as criminals to prosecution and sentenced. This applies across the board, to Netanyahu and to the Hamas who are killers. The general populations should be managing to continue on living peaceably without them.

Florida man arrested for threatening to kill 'EVERY ONE' on Epstein 'client list' (and some politicians)

Terrell Bailey-Corsey allegedly posted the threats on X last Tuesday, seemingly reacting to a response from X's AI agent Grok that disputed any such client list exists, as the FBI and Justice Department recently confirmed.

"Well @grok you're wrong. Everyone involved if I see them in real life I will KILL. On sight," Bailey-Corsey allegedly said.

Roughly an hour after that post, Bailey-Corsey posted another message singling out three government officials -- unnamed in the charging documents -- saying he would "KILL YOU ON SIGHT."

"IT'S TIME TO START KILLING POLITICIANS ON SIGHT," he added minutes later.

But if there is no list, then he didn't threaten to kill anybody.

I think it's more likely that the three specific politicians he threatened (unnamed in the indictment, but presumably not in his tweets) caught him these charges.

Georgia Man Who Threatened Jews and Black People, Claimed to Be ‘Official Spokesperson for the White Race,' Charged

Christopher Robertson, who goes by James Lomak, was charged with communicating interstate threats after he was arrested by FBI agents at his home on Aug. 1 following a lengthy standoff.

A Facebook post from July 28 showed Robertson holding a black pistol loaded with a magazine while speaking about the “cultural genocide” of the white race. The video’s caption read, “I will not tolerate cultural genocide, get that understood — I will fight for it, I will die for it, I will kill for it.”

Federal agents were first notified about Robertson’s activities after being contacted by the Secure Community Network, a national organization focused on protecting Jewish communities.

This was after Robertson paid a visit to the Jewish Federation of Greater Atlanta on July 30 and told security staff that he was “the official spokesperson for the white race” and wanted to speak to a high-ranking Jewish official.

After he left, he went to a Jewish synagogue in midtown Atlanta and began ranting about the decline of the white race while making derogatory remarks about Jewish people.

Texas state lawmakers in Illinois evacuated from their hotel after threat

Democratic state legislators from Texas were evacuated from their suburban Chicago hotel Wednesday morning following a threat at the property, and a news conference set to feature Democratic Sen. Dick Durbin was canceled.

The public announcement system inside the hotel issued an evacuation directive around 7:15 a.m. local time, and lawmakers and staff rushed outside, according to one of the people inside.

“This morning, a threat was made against the safety of the members of the Texas House Democratic Caucus,” three Texas state House Democrats said in a statement. “We are safe, we are secure, and we are undeterred and unintimidated. We are grateful for Governor Pritzker, local, and state law enforcement for their quick action to ensure our safety.”

Outrage erupts over Proud Boys recruiting billboard near Clinton County school

The Proud Boys is a far-right, neo-fascist militant organization that has been associated with political violence, including the insurrection at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.

The Southern Poverty Law Center identifies the Proud Boys as a “hate group,” and the Anti-Defamation League describes the organization as “extremist.” Canada designated it “terrorist entity” in 2021.

“Faith, family, freedom, brotherhood,” the billboard reads. A laurel wreath, which symbolizes victory, is shown with the terms “stand back” and “stand by” from Trump’s controversial comments about the Proud Boys during a 2020 presidential debate.

Texas Capitol evacuated after shooting threat posted online, set to reopen Wednesday

According to a report from KXAN, the post on social media called on others to go to the building and “take action by shooting and killing those who will not allow lawmakers to leave.”

The evacuation occurred moments before a planned protest was scheduled to start outside the House chamber, where Representative Nicole Collier from Fort Worth refused to leave after rejecting a requirement to be monitored by a DPS escort.

Collier and Texas House Minority Leader Rep. Gene Wu said in a statement. "Violence and threats have no place in our democratic process, and we unequivocally condemn any threats against public servants or law enforcement, regardless of political differences. Rep. Collier's stand is rooted in the cherished American tradition of peaceful protest—a principle we will continue to uphold with unwavering conviction."

Convicted rapist admits to spray-painting swastikas, posting them on social media in order to sow fear

Earlier this year, a social media account started documenting the mysterious and alarming appearance of spray-painted swastikas around downtown Ventura.

But the account was not run by a good Samaritan trying to draw attention to a hate crime, authorities later determined. It was instead the handiwork of a convicted rapist who was committing the vandalism himself, then posting photos online in an effort to sow fear, according to the Ventura Police Department and the county district attorney’s office.

John Williams, 32, of Ventura admitted this week that he had vandalized public and private property with swastikas.

He has now pleaded guilty to three felony counts of vandalism for damage exceeding $400, three felony hate crime counts, two misdemeanor counts of vandalism and one misdemeanor count of possession of a stun gun by a convicted felon, prosecutors said. He remains in custody in lieu of $250,000 bail and is scheduled to be sentenced on Sept. 17.

Going by context and number of letters I’m guessing the slur for promiscuous women starting with S.
