Connecticut man charged with threatening Jews online
BY JONATHAN STEMPEL
A Connecticut man already in custody after large quantities of firearms and ammunition were seized from his home was indicted on charges he made online threats to kill or injure people, including Jews, the U.S. Department of Justice said on Thursday.
Kendall Sullivan, 50, of Stamford, was charged on Wednesday by a federal grand jury in Bridgeport, Connecticut, with three counts of making threatening communications online, each punishable by up to five years in prison.
A lawyer for Sullivan could not immediately be identified.
Authorities said Sullivan posted his threats on the internet forum Metalthrone.net three times between May 29 and July 5.
The indictment alleged that Sullivan wrote that he had "a few 'Houses of Satan' in my Town," and that "if these Jews truly believe in their god Satan, I will upset their world. I will slaughter them and burn their Synagogue to the ground ... kids, goldfish, old folks."
