Another wave of threats force Jewish centers across the US to evacuate

Another round of threats against Jewish community centers across the United States forced the facilities to be evacuated on Tuesday, the groups said.

Threats were phoned in or emailed to JCCs in New York, Wisconsin and Florida overnight and early on Tuesday.

The threats have continued even after a federal investigation of phoned and emailed threats against Jewish groups across the nation yielded an arrest last week. Former journalist Juan Thompson, 31, was charged in St. Louis on Friday with using fake email accounts to make bomb threats against Jewish groups while posing as his ex-girlfriend. [L2N1GG0LB]

U.S. authorities said they were examining more than 100 threats made against Jewish community centers by phone this year, which appear unrelated to the Thompson allegations.

White supremacists say they feel "emboldened" by Trump's win. And they think it's funny! They think it's funny to be racist, hate-mongering, anti-PC douchebags. Not only that, they're proud of it. It's not fucking funny at all! It's scary!

physically, we go to jail and are considered terrorists or whatever.

If we rely on our institutions, we are going to be harmed since they are now controlled by the fascists.

This is a no win for the patriots of America. This is why I focus on nukes, I think the country is gone, for real, but we have to somehow get the nukes into the hands of one of the sane fascists like Pence.

Pence will take your Medicare, Soc Sec, etc., along with Ryan, that is a certainty, but he might not start a nuclear war. Fuckface is going to if not stopped.
