A vegan-hating New York man was arrested Tuesday morning after he allegedly made a series of death threats against an upstate fruit festival - which included telling an organizer that he would 'do a ******* Ted Bundy' to her unless she called off the event.
William Swift, 32, of Brooklyn, appeared in Brooklyn federal court today where he was charged with menacing organizers and attendees of the festival which is described as a 'vegan health retreat' and 'an all-out celebration of health, fruit-based diet and personal growth.'
Swift apparently split from the vegan lifestyle and community, ranting against veganism and fruitarianism on his Instagram page.
Months before this year's festival, which is slated to be held at the end of August, the anti-vegan made the threats against the festival's organizers in emails and audio recordings, federal prosecutors say.
'The ideal thing would be to go up to Woodstock to shoot up...the Jewish meet up. That would be ideal,' one disturbing message read, according to court filings.
Swift is a self-described 'incel,' according to a memo filed on Tuesday. Incels are described as men who claim to be 'involuntary celibate.' Several have lashed out with violence, usually targeted at women, in incidents across the country.
The Brooklyn man was also previously arrested by the NYPD last month for telling a friend that he fantasized about shooting up Washington Square Park.
The messages - which date back to February - included threats of conducting a mass shooting and stabbing people connected to the upcoming festival.

What, he is going to lure her into his Volkswagen pretending he has a broken arm, then rape and strangle her?
He really had a beef with those vegans.
I’m guessing he didn’t have any luck meeting women in the vegan community.
I like my steaks still mooing. :D
In any case, this guy is bonkers and probably belongs in a psych hospital. For a good long while.
“fruitarianism “??
With his attitude, its no wonder he can’t get laid.
Um....burying the lede much, Daily Mail?
Sounds like he is an "anti-Semitic former left-wing activist"
Yeah, but I bet he’d have chickened out.
😆😆😆
Maybe we should help him out.
Somebody pound a steak into his heart! Imagine all the publicity that will bring the anti-vegan cause!
🏆🏆🏆
If it isn’t vegan hating incels it’s mail hating survivalists.
Shouldn’t Kramer be wearing the bucket? 😜
I was thinking about that line!
🤣🤣🤣
I thought vegan girls are easy.
Maybe he really meant “Al Bundy”
It’s for the aubergine.
