Juan Thompson has been arrested in connection with eight bomb threats made against Jewish Community Centers. According to the FBI, the 31-year-old left the threats as part of a cyberstalking campaign. Meanwhile, a Twitter account owned by a Juan Thompson claims some threats were made by his ex-girlfriend. The FBI believe he made at least eight of the threats, but this likely doesnt account for all the bomb threats that have been made against JCCs since January.

Proceed with caution.

(146,317 posts)You may not remember, but many mistakes have been made in similar instances. That could be the person, or it might not be. Why not wait for better confirmation?

(3,163 posts)The guy is talking about visits from the FBI and the Secret Service in the last few weeks for bomb threats.

Welcome to reality, I guess. As things unfold, there are often surprises, aren't there?

(146,317 posts)That's what I hear, anyhow. The propaganda arm of the Faux-Left, I believe. And to think we saw it unfold before our very gullible eyes...

(146,317 posts)I mean, go read the Intercept closely, for pete's sake.

(9,766 posts)In fact his Twitter feed indicates the exact opposite. Wanting something to true doesn't make it so.

(1,058 posts)Because the right will take this as evidence of a "false flag" operation, and in this thread, we hint at "false flag false flag".
I'm just glad the guy will likely go to jail.
