A Florida man accused of posting online threats to carry out mass violence has been arrested and charged with making an interstate threat and a weapon violation, federal court records show.
Alexander Lightner, 26, of Venice, Florida, allegedly posted comments online that were “intended to convey the message that he was planning to conduct a racially or ethnically motivated mass casualty event,” according to an affidavit.
He was interviewed by FBI agents from the bureau’s Tampa Field Office a week later on January 5, and law enforcement executed a search warrant at Lightner’s home before he was arrested.

While searching Lightner’s home, FBI agents found an unlawful firearm suppressor in a laundry hamper of a bedroom he shared with his brother and “propaganda regarding white supremacist and accelerationist ideology in Lightner’s bedroom,” according to court records.

Trump is a “Florida man” who posts threats online to incite mass violence, when is he going to get arrested for it?
But he’s just being “sarcastic.”
That’s just locker talk!
Silly goose, “rich” people are above the law
a racially or ethnically motivated mass casualty event
How nice of a way to avoid saying “white supremacist terror attack”.
“propaganda regarding white supremacist and accelerationist ideology in Lightner’s bedroom,”
They say it later in the article, goober. Find something else to take offense to.
I’m mostly taking offense at your use of the word goober.
Sometimes you feel like a nut, sometimes you don’t.
I know it’s the wrong candy
They don’t use the word terrorist though.
Good riddance
What a fucking loser.
Maybe he meant mass casual event like a class reunion or Bingo night.

People who subscribe to accelerationist ideology are usually ok with blowing up the entire thing if it means we no longer live in a multicultural society or whatever. They’d like (their bullshit concept of) a “utopia,” but would settle for complete destruction.
Sounds like a philosophy created to suit the crowd who is cheering on the next civil war.
Combined with a lot of defeatist cope. “I don’t need to stay politically active, I’m just going to let it all burn down and build back from the ashes! I’m smart, not broken and lazy!”
Definitely a lot of the rugged individualism as if they could recreate an electrical generator after the fall.
One less trump voter
Dude is 26 and still sharing a bedroom with his brother? I know living at home longer is a common thing these days, but like that? I picture it as living in a spare room or in the basement or maybe a camper parked in the driveway. This guy isn’t going places. Literally. Except to prison.
Wonder who had the top bunk.
