TAMPA, FL — (08-31-24) — A retired teacher was sentenced last Wednesday to five years in prison for threatening a Federal Judge who had rejected a challenge to the state’s “don’t say gay” law that restricts classroom discussion of sexual orientation and gender identity.
On October 24, 2022, THORN read an article from an online news website about a judicial opinion. THORN was unhappy with the opinion and made five calls from his phone number to the Chambers of a United States District Judge in Orlando, Florida and left severalvoicemail recordings at approximately 12:53 p.m., 12:57 p.m., 1:04 p.m., 3:47 p.m. and 3:51 p.m. that, taken in their entirety, constitute a true threat to injure the person of another. When dialing each of the calls, THORN dialed *67 in order to mask his identity.
1) “Listen, you redneck cunt bitch, you’re just showing your true colors, playing to Trump who appointed you and to DeSantis. You have no fucking idea what LGBTQ kids go through. I’m a retired teacher. I’ve taught in Florida. I’ve taught in California. I have seen the sheer hell those kids are put through and you have the gall to say that that’s part of middle school or high school is to be picked on. You should not be a judge. You’re a heartless rotten piece of shit and you’re showing your true colors you’re playing to Trump’s base and to DeSantis. You are fucking embarrassment to the judicial system. You need to resign you fucking skag.”
2) “You rotten piece of shit, crooked piece of shit. Let’s see how you would like it if somebody endangered your children in school or your grandchildren in school. You are an embarrassment to the judicial system. Again, maybe that’s not a bad idea, Tit for tat. Those poor kids suffer so much, the LGBTQ kids. You have no concept of reality, maybe we need to make sure your children or grandchildren have to face the same flight. You rotten piece of shit. It’s so obvious you’re playing to Trump’s base because Trump appointed you. Political payback, huh? You crooked bitch.”
3) “Listen, you cunt. It’s so easy to find personal information now. I see that you and your husband [VICTIM 2] live in [redacted city name] with your two children. You want to make LGBTQ kids suffer, because you’re a fucking patsy for Trump and DeSantis? Maybe the same needs to happen to your kids. I’m not saying it will be me, although I am familiar with [redacted city name] and [redacted city name], but I would say you need to be very careful. When you hurt other children like that, innocent children, just because of your fucking allegiance to Trump and DeSantis. Tit for tat, just remember that— an eye for an eye—you stupid bitch.”
