Sandy Hook denier arrested after alleged death threats

Florida woman who believes the Sandy Hook Elementary school shooting was a hoax was arrested Monday on charges she threatened the parent of a child killed in the 2012 school shooting. 

Lucy Richards, 57, of Tampa, Fla., was indicted on four counts of transmitting threats, according to a statement from the United States Attorney Southern District of Florida.

The Sandy Hook shooting is approaching its fourth anniversary. On Dec. 14, 2012, 20 children and six school staffers were fatally shot at Sandy Hook Elementary in Newtown, Conn. By Adam Lanza, 20. Lanza later fatally shot himself.
 
According to authorities, Richards made a series of death threats against the parent of a child who was killed in the shooting. The parent now lives in South Florida was identified in a statement as Len Pozner.

Richards is accused of telling the parent “you gonna die, death is coming to you real soon," according to federal court documents. The statements were made in January. She also wrote, "Look behind you it's death," according to the documents.

Comet Ping Pong shooter = Infowars fan.
Vegas cop killers = Infowars fans (first time I ever heard of Alex Jones)
Miami professor who threatened Sandy Hook victims = Infowars fan

And now this. And Trump is a fan of Infowars. Alex Jones already has blood on his hands. Where does this end?

Inciting violence or something? Someone needs to find some precedent and take this fucker down.

And that woman needs electric shock therapy. How horrible to do that to a parent who lost her child in such a horrible way.

I read this story on MSN and thought, "What the fuck is wrong with people? Who would make up a story about their child being massacred in the first place, and who would think that the logical response to that (even if it was true, which it is not) would be a death threat?"

And then I hope Pozner sues her civilly and donates the funds to Sandy Hook Promise.
