A Former Journalist arrested

Authorities investigating recent bomb threats against Jewish institutions nationwide arrested a former journalist Friday morning and said he was behind at least some of the threats, describing them as part of the man’s campaign to harass a woman.

Juan Thompson, 31, a black man.

Thompson is a journalist who was fired from the Intercept, an investigative journalism website, for fabricating quotes and misleading colleagues to cover his tracks. In an editor’s note last year, the publication said Thompson had engaged in “a pattern of deception” and wrote that he created fake email accounts to impersonate people.

Thompson’s page also expresses disdain for President Trump and white people generally. Trump earlier this week condemned the anti-Semitic threats and vandalism, his second such condemnation, but in a meeting with attorneys general he also questioned who was behind it and apparently suggested that it may have been the work of his political opponents.

Disturbed man...all this to harass a woman?

Well, now he will have men harass him in jail.

Hate to say it, but this fella needed to use his better judgment.

Spot on.

And, he says it's disturbing. I just wonder in what way, it's disturbing for him.

I doubt it's in the way most of us would find it disturbing.
