Knucklehead Nabbed In "Dirty Bomb" Hoax
2006-10-21
A 20-year-old Wisconsin man was charged today in connection with an online hoax that threatened "dirty bomb" attacks this weekend at seven U.S. football stadiums. Jake Brahm was nabbed for allegedly posting the online threats, which warned that the death toll for the purported October 22 attacks (which he dubbed "America's Hiroshima") "will approach 100,000 from the initial blasts and countless other fatalities will later occur as result from radioactive fallout." Brahm, a grocery store clerk, surrendered today in Milwaukee on the criminal charge, which was filed in New Jersey, home to Giants Stadium, one of the supposed attack targets. A copy of the federal criminal complaint can be found below. Brahm apparently penned the threats as part of a harebrained contest with another man to see who could circulate the scariest Internet threat. This knucklehead behavior may not come as a surprise to anyone familiar with Brahm's other online activity via MySpace and an ambitious blog on which he recorded all of his 2006 masturbatory activity. In his most recent MySpace blog entry, Brahm, an avowed Japanese pornography enthusiast, mentioned Iran's president: "I admire Mahmoud Ahmadinejad," he wrote. In a separate post, he listed his hobbies as "masturbating, watching foreign language films, playing cards, drumming, and sleeping. One day I hope to leave my house."

#10  Fox at one time had a show called "The Edge" one segement had "people not connected to reality" One guy was telling his buddy, "It's lots of fun to phone in bomb threats to the White House; They can't trace your phone or nothing!"
Later the same guy in jail is telling his buddy, "Look, all you have to do is say,'No thanks, I'm a heterosexual' and they will leave you alone"
Art imitates life.

#9  This guys is a typical /b/tard. /b/ is the section of the image board where this guy posted this stuff repeatdly. In /b/ it's a free for all. The folks who frequent that site don't think what he posted is too funny but they are having a field day over his stupidity.

Have fun with your AIDS /b/tard.

#7  Jail him for 5-10 years and make him pay restitution for all the extra stadium security costs and officer overtime involved in his apprehension.

#6  Just hand him over to the NFL team at the nearest stadium and let him explain to them how "funny" his prank was.

#4  He sure won't be getting any reach-arounds from Bubba. Bubba's got his standards.

#3  this guy is such a loser, it's like he's straight out of central casting! In fact, he's such a loser, I wouldn't be surprised if Hollywood wanted to buy the rights to his life story (um...in which case he'd be a winner. hmmm).

Anyway, in this case, 15 minutes of fame will get him 20 years, during which time he can hone his masturbatory arts.

#2  Brahm, an avowed Japanese pornography enthusiast

Ah, such bad taste! Jap pr0n sucks ass, if one may put it that way. Much better to concentrate on their old movies, their new wave horror series, and their anime.
Anyway, japonese do love the rape fetish, it is almost mainstream there; so knucklehead's fantaise might very come true if he serves some time, though in an unexpected fashion... although in fact I absolutely don't condone prisoner rape, which is a truly horrible thing happening to the most vulnerable prisoners (white young men with no gang background, just like him).

I think it was Mark Twain who recommended that teenage boys be nailed into a barrel and fed through the bunghole. Then when they turn 21 either let them out or hammer in the bung. Young Master Brahm is clearly a candidate for the hammer option.
