U.S. Man Pleads Guilty to Hate Crime after Threatening Mosques
2016-02-14
[AnNahar] Florida man has admitted he threatened to Molotov cocktail two mosques and shoot worshipers in the wake of the November Gay Paree attacks.
Idiot.
Martin Alan Schnitzler pleaded guilty in the state of Florida to obstructing persons in the free exercise of religious beliefs, a hate crime, the U.S. Justice Department said Friday.
Say, there's a useful law -- might be good at protecting Joooz and Hindoooz as well...
Hours after the November 13 attacks in Gay Paree left 130 people dead and hundreds maimed, Schnitzler called and left messages threatening a massacre at two mosques in Florida's Pinellas County.

Schnitzler later said his messages were prompted by the Gay Paree attacks.

In one message, he said that he would have a militia go to the mosque and "Molotov cocktail you, shoot whoever is there on sight in the head."

"I don't care if they're fucking two years old or a hundred," he added.

Schnitzler left his name in the messages and police had no trouble tracing the cell phone from which he made the call.

"Yes, I'm a red-blooded American watching the news in La Belle France. I'm over this shit. I'm calling all mosques in Pinellas County. I'm bringing it to you, baby," he said in a voicemail message left for the Islamic Society of Pinellas County.

"Guard your children. I don't care if you're bully boyz or not. I'm tired of your shit. Get out of my fucking country. And I'm gonna bomb your fucking location.

In another voicemail, to the Islamic Society of St. Petersburg, Schnitzler vowed to "personally have a militia that's going to come down to your Islamic Society of Pinellas County, Molotov cocktail you, shoot whoever is there on sight in the head."

Schnitzler faces up to 20 years in prison.

"The right to worship as one chooses, free from threats and intimidation, is one of the core principles upon which our great nation was founded," said U.S. Attorney Lee Bentley.

A wave of attacks and threats against Muslims took place across the United States after the tragedy in Gay Paree and a shooting in San Bernardino, Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party, that killed 14 people.
Really? Somehow we missed that here at Rantburg, though we keep an eye out for such things.

#7  "We Muslims are scared in Pinellas."
The source of this terror -- do tell us!
"Joo butchers who threaten
To cut up and flatten
The mosque with their make-believe fellas."

#5  Didn't you get the memo Rob?

Merely being Christian or Jew is an attack and threat against Muslims according to the DOJ...

Very, very poor delivery. Perhaps a few years in the jug will produce some enlightenment and calm.
