Pennsylvania man charged federally in shooting of Democratic office

Source: NBC News

A Pennsylvania man accused of firing into a suburban Philadelphia Democratic Party office is facing federal charges, prosecutors said.

Anthony Nero, 48, had been charged on state counts, but on Wednesday, he was arrested by federal authorities and is now charged federally with sending threatening communications and cyberstalking, prosecutors said Friday.

No one was hurt in the shooting, which involved three rounds being fired through a window at the Montgomery County Democratic Party headquarters in Norristown, according to officials. The shooting was discovered Jan. 20.

On Jan. 7, Nero allegedly sent a message through the county party's website in which he complained about a "stolen election"; threatened "violence is the only language you bloodsuckers understand"; and included the phrase "Trump you!" according to court documents.

This is the consequence when you have Republicans and right wing media continuing to push out lies about the election.

Now you can spend some time (hopefully years) in a federal jail.

Hope it was worth it, asshole!

From the excerpt:

On Jan. 7, Nero allegedly sent a message through the county party's website in which he complained about a "stolen election"; threatened "violence is the only language you bloodsuckers understand"; and included the phrase "Trump you!" according to court documents.

Maybe he was trying to write "Trump U." to boast he had attended Trump's noted University.

When he gets to the federal pen they will fix his attitude real fast.
Montgomery county is a Democratic controlled county so yea I bet he is miserable.
Poor widdle tony will have some years to consider his political positions.
It does piss me off that he is out on 10% of 50 grand. That is a very low bail.

The feds have taken him into custody. The terrorist is being held in a federal detention center in Philadelphia.
My guess is the bail will go way up.
He is screwed cause he admitted everything. Have a nice vacation Tony you worthless pig. Terrorist go to Gitmo.

Thank goodness he didn't shoot someone!

Hope he gets the punishment and jail time he so richly deserves and craves to soothe the imaginary demons in his mind!

That makes me happy to picture them dealing with folks like Shillinger, Adabisi, O'Reilly, and Chucky the Enforcer.
