Driver in Pinellas road rage used Nazi salute and threatened mass shooting, deputies say
Tampa Bay Times, 8/10/2012

A man was arrested Sunday in Largo after he used a Nazi salute toward a Black person during a road rage incident, shouted a racial slur and attacked the person before threatening a mass shooting of at least 70 people, Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office deputies say.

Jordan Patrick Leahy, 28, of Riverview, is facing charges of threatening communications or threats of mass shooting, felony battery and driving under the influence including property damage. Deputies noted in arrest reports that they considered the actions to be a hate crime.

Deputies initially arrived at the intersection of Bryan Dairy Road and Starkey Road just after 10 p.m. Sunday to find Leahy after a road rage and battery were reported. Deputies say Leahy, a white man, sideswiped a car being driven by a Black person and as Leahy drove past, he gave a Nazi salute and pretended to shoot the other driver.

At the intersection, Leahy got out of his car and aggressively approached the other car, deputies said, before punching the driver in the face.

3. His bail was $20,000. Doesn't that mean $2000 to be released?

4. Yes, it does

His total bail is $23,000, so it would be 2,300. Luckily, he's still being held.

10. Oh no!

Those moves are reserved for the non-white population. Hope they do follow through and charge him with a hate crime.
