Texas man arrested for threatening Pride parade as revenge for Charlie Kirk's death

"I say we lock and load and pay them back for taking out Charlie Kirk," Joshua Cole wrote on Facebook.

Trudy Ring at The Advocate:

A Texas man has been arrested after being accused of threatening violence against a Pride parade as retribution for right-wing activist Charlie Klrk’s assassination. Joshua Cole of Anson has admitted to writing a Facebook comment threatening the Abilene Pride Parade and Festival, local and national media report. Using the name Jay Dubya, he posted on September 18, “Fk their parade, I say we lock and load and pay them back for taking out Charlie Kirk,” according to police reports cited by The Guardian and several TV outlets. Kirk was shot to death September 10 during a speaking engagement in Utah. There is no evidence tying the accused shooter, Tyler Robinson, to LGBTQ+ groups or other liberal groups. Robinson did object to some of Kirk’s anti-LGBTQ+ views, his family members have said. Cole also wrote, “Theres only like 30 of em we can send a clear message to the rest of them,” and “come on bro let’s go hunting fairies,” according to the police report. Abilene police notified the FBI’s field office in Dallas. FBI Special Agent Samuel Venuti tried to contact Cole at his workplace but found Cole has recently “stormed out of the facility in anger” and “just quit,” says an affidavit filed by Venuti September 19 in U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas. The police and Venuti then caught up with Cole during a traffic stop.

Cole admitted to making the comments and said a reasonable person could interpret them as a threat, Venuti wrote in the affidavit. Cole said he thought the Pride event should not be allowed, but he “denied that he was going to take action or shoot parade participants,” the affidavit says. “There is probable cause to believe that [Cole}, with the specific intent to threaten harm or bodily injury, used an electronic communication service or electronic communication system of interstate commerce, or any other facility of interstate or foreign commerce, to transmit a threat to injure the person of another,” in violation of federal law, Venuti concluded.

Joshua Cole of Anson, TX was arrested for threatening the Abilene Pride Parade and Festival in the aftermath of the killing of Charlie Kirk as revenge.
