Miami Beach Man Arrested for Threatening LGBT-Friendly Church with Attack that Would Eclipse Orlando
Police have arrested a man who threatened to attack an LGBT-friendly church in Miami Beach, an attack he claims would have been worse than the Orlando massacre.
As NBC Miami reports, Joseph Jorczak, 34, set his sights on the Miami Beach Community Church, which welcomes members of the LGBT community.
Jorczak was known to the church as a possible threat. Its pastor Rev. Thompson had a restraining order against Jorczak.
