Seattle man arrested for threatening to kill Jared Kushner for being a Jew

A Seattle man was arrested this week and charged with making interstate threats after he said he planned to execute White House senior adviser Jared Kushner for being Jewish and threatened to kill other members of President Trump’s family.

According to The Washington Post, the man, Chase Bliss Colasurdo, shared an image on Instagram in February showing a gun being pointed at a photograph of Kushner. Colasurdo later posted image of Donald Trump Jr. in early March and reportedly wrote that he “would just like to let the secret service know” he plans to kill him.

In both instances, Colasurdo reportedly boasted about not being “arrested yet” despite making threats against Trump’s two family members, even writing at one point: “And there is nothing you can do about it as indicated by the fact that I have been posting death threats against politicians for like a week and am still here posting.”

According to a release from the Justice Department, Colasurdo was contacted by law enforcement in March over the posts and claimed he was hacked.

However, the department said despite Colasurdo’s statements that “he was not responsible for the posts, Colasurdo continued to make threatening comments, specifically threats to members of the Jewish community.”

The agency said Colasurdo even wrote in another post that it was time to start “bombing synagogues.”

“As law enforcement continued to track his activity, it became clear he was purchasing various items related to firearms such as a holster, bulletproof vest and ammunition,” the department said.

Officials said Colasurdo made an attempt to purchase a firearm but had been denied. According to an FBI affidavit, Colasurdo also purchased bulletproof vest and baseball cap, a gun holster, and ammunition, among other items during the period.

Colasurdo has since been charged with two counts of making interstate threats and faces up to five years in prison.

I thought Seattle was a hotspot of liberalism.

Oh that's right. It is.

... he purchased a baseball cap...

Not making lightly of his threats, but this is an absurd accusation.

Seattle and Portland are hotspots of Antifa, Anarchists and full on Communists.
Local gov now has surrendered to the Uber-Left and they now run the show.

I tell others that Portland and Seattle are made up of people who moved from Berkeley because they thought Berkeley was too Conservative.

He apparently hasn’t caught it yet has he?

“Chase Bliss”?

That’s part of his problem right there.

If a Democrat wins the White House House in 2020, they’ll make him Gauliter of Seattle.

My guess is the “baseball cap” was a MAGA hat. Attempted false flag set up.

Sounds like this wacko is just another vile human product of liberalism.

God Bless our President and his family, may God and his angels protect them and their protector from all harm and all evil.

His hatred for conservative commentator Ben Shapiro is a main theme on his Instagram page. Of Shapiro, who is Jewish, he wrote in the captions, “Run up in Ben Shapiro’s house with a 9mm and blow his k*ke brains out.”

Correct...because they don't have jurisdiction. It's in Seattle.

He’s an MMA fighter so it makes me wonder if his maniacal and idiotic rage is steroid-fueled. Not that MMA fighters all use that but it’s probably not hard to find at the gym.

Looking at the photos, he could just be a nasty queer.

“...He’s an MMA fighter ...”

One day, he’ll meet up with an M1911 fighter or a Glock fighter, and the result won’t end too well for him.

He’s a psychopath.
