>Agreed this implies more than just one culprit if we assume the arrested suspect isn't still able to issue threats. Also reports of shared "specific language" in the threats, implies it's an organized effort rather than lone wolves or copy cats.

>FWIW, the culprit arrested last Friday does not match the inbred white supremacist caricature that until recent years would be the most likely source for anti-Semitic action in the US. This College-educated black culprit interned for the 2008 Obama campaign, considers himself an anti-Fascist and frequently tweets hateful attacks against Trump and white society. The MSM seems reluctant to reveal much at all about a culprit that used to be one of their own at the liberal Intercept until he was caught making up sources and quotes, but here's a summary from a Haym Salomon Center writer:

>It's not hard to see how normalization of narcissistic hatred that used to be frowned upon by society, can morph into attacks on vulnerable others. Ten years ago, who would have dared publish to the world a death fantasy that the POTUS and millions of fellow Americans should be taken out - but these days there's one-upsmanship to see who can produce the vilest rant. The traditions of politeness and respect seem to go out the window replaced by bullying, death threats and intolerance of difference by some people, unfortunately. Meanwhile those who ought to be doing their part to rein in casualization of hateful thinking- such as University Professors- sometimes seem to be a source for anti-Semitic or at least anti-Israel sentiments (as was the culprit's university mentor in this case) or praise intolerant violence by their acolytes as a celebration of tolerance. We just have to hope that adults will intervene and teach people that screaming, tweeting or telephoning death threats is a recipe for jail time, not just high-fives from fellow haters on the interweb.

You described the situation very accurately and quite eloquently. Thank you.
