Juan Thompson, a 31 year old from St. Louis, MO.
Oh and just an FYI, this is the same Juan Thompson who invented people and sources around the Dylan Roof story.
Oh. My. God. https://t.co/3Jht0NJ6sp

Thompson claims he is not responsible for all bomb threats, just a few so he could harass a woman.
Because that somehow makes this less creepy and weird.
Per @TheJusticeDept, Juan Thompson wasn’t responsible for all of the JCC threats. He used them to harass a woman. https://t.co/wMlgHOINtL pic.twitter.com/ZF0WSl8YEv

How does it feel to be wrong on all counts? Just curious. https://t.co/mGgIjskt3X

Ha!
27 minutes since Juan Thompson's arrest announcement and Bernie Sanders STILL refuses to condemn one of his anti-semitic supporters

This Juan Thompson thing is weird af and that's the only safe, smart comment anyone can make about it right now.

It’s just so odd.
Was he making the threats like he claimed to harass a woman? Was he creating another story so he could cover it? He does have a history of making things up:

So there's a Juan Thompson on Twitter who spent the last week tweeting that someone was framing him for making antisemitic threats… ?

We grabbed a few screenshots from the account that may or may not be Thompson’s just in case his feed magically disappears:
2016 must have dared 2017 to out-crazy it.
