Man accused of firing at Democratic headquarters in Pennsylvania's Montgomery County is in federal custody

PHILADELPHIA — An Eagleville man who authorities say fired a handgun into the headquarters of the Montgomery County Democratic Party on Jan. 20 out of frustration over COVID-19 restrictions and Donald Trump's loss in the presidential election was taken into federal custody Wednesday.

Anthony Nero, 48, faces charges of threatening communications and cyberstalking in connection with the shooting and for sending a threatening email to party leaders weeks before, according to the affidavit of probable cause for his arrest. Previously, county prosecutors had charged him with terrorism, terroristic threats, carrying a gun without a license, and related offenses, but withdrew those charges Wednesday in anticipation of the federal charges.

Nero appeared as scheduled for his preliminary hearing in the local case Wednesday morning before Magisterial District Judge Margaret Hunsicker. But the proceeding ended quickly when Assistant District Attorney Kathleen McLaughlin withdrew the charges and federal agents took him to a detention center in Philadelphia.

Nero was arrested so abruptly that he left his car and suit behind at Hunsicker's Norristown office, according to his attorney, Timothy Woodward.

5. These treasonous anti-American scumbag Trump cultists sure are delusional

Police say the email read: “Just wanted to let your offices know that you should probably beef up security. With this stolen election and Coup d’etat, violence is the only language you bloodsuckers understand. F*** you and your BLM [explitive] along with ANTIFA. We WILL end this insurrection. Again, TRUMP YOU! You f***ing traitors. Random acts of violence are difficult to investigate. Have fun.”

6. Those large swaths of America against the Rule of Law must be separated

If you can't muster civility into constructive behavior when your party is not in power, you're on the outside of the mainstream.
