Man Threatened to Blow Up Disney Executives’ Homes, Ranted About Activision, Sent 186 Tweets in Three Hours: Deputies
MSN ^ | 8/18/21

A man went on a prolific tweetstorm, ranting about a video game company’s ongoing legal problems and threatening to blow up Disney executives’ homes, authorities say.

Deputies arrested Steven James Jordan, 31, on Thursday and booked him into the Pinellas County Jail, online records show. According to authorities, Jordan made a Twitter account on Sunday, Aug. 8. It went off the rails quickly, based on the allegations. Jordan made 186 posts within three hours, deputies said in a news release. The suspect made a total of more than 200 tweets on the account, Pinellas Sheriff’s spokesperson Deputy Amanda Sinni told Law&Crime in an email. Jordan was arrested because he allegedly wrote Disney some threatening tweets, going as far as to tag them.

“@Disney or we will blow up all of your execs houses with C4”
“@Disney I will toss a hand grenade threw their loft window”

Jordan even made comments about Activision, according to authorities. “There were several other tweets directed toward Activision Games in reference to their video games, derogatory comments about their executives, and other current litigation issues,” Pinellas deputies wrote. The California Department of Fair Employment and Housing sued video game giant Activision Blizzard last month, saying that a two-year investigation found prolific discrimination and harassment by the company against female employees.

Seems like a regular "Florida man" type


Considering this is uncharacteristically straightforward reporting from a usually fake news source like MSN, without reference to his race or speculation of him being pro Trump, anti mask, etc etc, in all likelihood he's an apolitical crackpot.

Not the bay window, but the loft window.

um... ACTIVISION?

Like the video game company that made Pitfall back in the golden age of Atari 2600?

Man Pitfall Harry has gone downhill fast over the years...

It’s illegal to tweet 186 times in three hours?

Shouldn’t a lot of the anti-Trump twits be arrested then? Their tweets spew like incessant projectile vomiting.
