Antisemitic Ex-Security Guard Who Sniffed a Rifle and Talked About 'Dead Jews' in Online Video Faces

Antisemitic Ex-Security Guard Who Sniffed a Rifle and Talked About ‘Dead Jews’ in Online Video Faces Charges for Selling Ghost Guns: DOJ

A former security guard who was previously charged in an Ohio court for allegations including threatening a Jewish school has now been accused in federal court of making and selling “ghost guns.” Thomas Develin, 24, faces a number of firearms charges, the U.S. Department of Justice announced on Wednesday.

Federal prosecutors made note of Develin’s alleged social media activity. He allegedly infused his missives with a fixation on firearms, ideations about committing terrorist attacks, and visceral bigotry in the form of anti-Semitism, misogyny, and anti-Black sentiment.

“This one smells like dead Jews,” he allegedly said as he sniffed a rifle in a Snapchat video on Nov. 21, 2021.

That same day, he allegedly made a Snapchat video titled “Jewish Women.” In it, he allegedly held a gun “aimed in the direction of unknown individuals.” Federal authorities said they could not identify the alleged targets, but they noted that records from Develin’s employer, Sahara Global Security, indicated that he was working at Temple Israel at the time of the video.

perform social media checks if they're going to be hiring guards for sensitive locations.

“We’re about to hunt n[*****]s on night patrol in Columbus,” Develin allegedly wrote in a chat group on Discord last Feb. 5. “Someone’s gotta work the beat and hold the line.”

He also allegedly made multiple posts supportive of raping women. For example, he allegedly posted an image in which rape is compared as favorable to sex.

Yet another post attributed to the defendant by federal authorities employed an incel (or involuntary celibate) term for a woman.

“I’ve become so radicalized against women that I’ve forgotten how to act rationally around them when one of them decides it’s a good idea to speak to me,” Develin allegedly posted in yet another missive dated Feb. 8, 2022.
