J6 Rioter Back In Custody After Threats To Officials

August 7, 2024 Crime, Trump cultists

ABC News reports:

A Nevada man awaiting trial for charges stemming from his alleged participation in the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol was taken into custody this week for a series of threatening statements prosecutors say he made targeting public officials, including Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett and Attorney General Merrick Garland.

One post that concerned prosecutors targeted Barrett and followed the Supreme Court’s decision in Fischer v. United States involving an obstruction statute leveled against dozens of Jan. 6 rioters, including Nelson himself.

“I pray to God with all my [expletive] heart that somebody cuts your [expletive] throat from ear to ear you worthless piece of [expletive],” Nelson allegedly posted of Barrett roughly an hour after the court’s ruling was made public.

Law & Crime reports:

In August 2023, prosecutors allege Nelson posted an image online of a Georgia state judge handling the Donald Trump election interference case with “apparent crosshairs drawn on his head.”

In February 2024, prosecutors allege Nelson posted an image of New York Attorney General Letitia James — who handled Trump’s civil fraud prosecution — with crosshairs on her head too.

This time, the photo was accompanied by threatening commentary from Nelson allegedly including: “give every [expletive] thing I have to watch that [expletive]’s head explode, or at least the back of her head blowout.”

Barrett dissented in the obstruction ruling.
