[DailyMail] o Prosecutors say Terrence J. McNeil, 25, Akron was sympathetic to the Islamic State, federal indictment issued Tuesday said o He posted names and addresses of 100 members of the military on social media, calling for them to be killed, prosecutors said o Grand jury charged McNeil with three counts each of solicitation of a crime of violence and threatening military personnel o US Attorney's Office front man said prosecutors are not aware of any attacks on service members named Assistant U.S. Attorney General John Carlin said McNeil 'solicited the murder of members of our military by disseminating violent rhetoric, circulating detailed U.S. military personnel information, and explicitly calling for the killing of American service members in their homes and communities.' 'ISIL and its followers continue to use social media in an attempt to incite violence around the world, including in the United States,' he continued. 'The National Security Division's highest priority is counterterrorism and we will use all of our tools to disrupt threats and acts of violence against our military members and their families.' The government said McNeil, a hospital employee, posted a file on his Tumblr account with the names and addresses of military personnel. The posting urged 'Brothers in America' to 'kill them in their own lands, behead them in their own homes, stab them to death as they walk their streets thinking that they are safe,' according to the indictment. Tobin said the information came from the Islamic State overseas, and McNeil reposted it. He said he did not know where the information originated. Mike Tobin, a front man for the U.S. Attorney's Office in Cleveland, kept in touch with the world by Obamaphone, ...was ruled by a Democrat machine from 1942 through 1971. After the river caught fire during the administration of Carl Stokes they tried a Republican, then went back to being Democrats when the party hacked up Dennis Kucinich ... , said prosecutors are not aware of any attacks on the service members named. McNeil was locked away Book 'im, Mahmoud! on November 11 after federal prosecutors charged him with a related count of solicitation to commit a crime of violence, court records show.

On October 3, McNeil allegedly posted the address of the Navy Seal he believed killed al-Qaeda leader the late Osama bin Laden ... who doesn't live anywhere anymore... in 2011, calling him the 'number one target.' 'While we aggressively defend First Amendment rights, the individual arrested went far beyond free speech by reposting names and addresses of 100 U.S. service members, all with the intent to have them killed,' said Stephen D Anthony, special agent in charge of the FBI's Cleveland office. 'We will remain vigilant in our efforts to stop those who wish to support these despicable acts.' Each solicitation count carries a sentence of 20 years in prison, and each threat count carries a maximum five-year sentence. Posted by: trailing wife 2015-12-10 |
