Teen arrested for threatening vigil for Charlie Kirk at UTSA campus [“I’ma make sure this won’t be a good or comforting vigil… y’all watch and see.”]

SAN ANTONIO — A man is behind bars, accused of making threats on social media about a vigil planned for conservative activist Charlie Kirk.

Police say the 19-year-old posted comments on Facebook, threatening to turn the event into danger.

Police say a Facebook post first tipped them off on September 15, just hours before a planned vigil for Charlie Kirk at UTSA’s main campus.

The vigil went on as planned, but the suspect landed behind bars.

The post appeared on the San Antonio Young Republicans’ Facebook page, the group organizing the vigil.

Arrest paperwork says that 19-year-old Xaelyn Dunbar responded to the thread with a chilling message saying, “I’ma make sure this won’t be a good or comforting vigil… y’all watch and see.”

Police say the threats didn’t stop there—Dunbar alluded to using a Ford F-250 as a weapon.

He goes on to say, “I wouldn’t advise trying to stop a Ford 250 diesel truck—show y’all how much Charlie really means,” according to that warrant.

Later that same day police showed up at Dunbar’s home.

Officers say he admitted to writing the comments telling them he thought it was just a joke. But detectives say he also acknowledged the posts could be perceived as threats.

When asked if it was worth it, Dunbar told detectives, ‘I did what I did and can take the consequences.’"

Dunbar was arrested by UTSA police and is still in jail Wednesday, being held on a $40,000 bond.

I am fairly certain that Secretary of War Hegseth has said that the military will no longer celebrate any of these special months weeks days, etc. They will be focused on war fighting.

“ Dang, you’re right, black. I had this perp pictured as a white basement dwelling keyboard warrior”

Not too many basements in San Antonio. It’s almost impossible, unless you have the bucks to put in an inground pool after the house is built.

Another idiot with no sense. Glad they caught him before he did something violent.
