A Canadian teen has been arrested for threatening to open fire at a West Palm Beach LGBTQ event over the weekend.
The suspect, whose name was not released, posed with a firearm while pledging to shoot up the “Pride on the Block” gathering and claimed to live in the area.
The threat was issued on the Omegle social media platform on Sunday.
“The suspect, waving a gun in the video, said he lived in Palm Beach County, made anti-LGBTQ+ comments, and was going to commit a mass shooting on that day, at that event,” the West Palm Beach Police Department said in a statement.
The agency bolstered security for the event with a SWAT unit and undercover officers while launching a wider probe into the suspect.
Investigators, including the Toronto Police Service and the NYPD, zeroed in on a 17-year-old located in Canada and arrested him there.
The suspect is now facing a slew of charges in Florida, including making “threats to commit a mass shooting,” officials said.
The gun displayed in the recording was recovered by Canadian authorities.
As shown in the included video, it certainly appears that the potential mass shooting suspect is a black male, which is conveniently left out of the text of the article, however, as we all know, if he/she/It had been White, that information would have been acknowledged repeatedly throughout the article! Luckily for him the threat was made to happen in Florida, because if it was made in his home country of Canada or one of our “blue”, liberal states, he would be “fried” for threatening their “primary base of voters”, the low-IQ, gender dysphoric, exceedingly small minority of LGBTQCAI^^^+ freaks!
