— UPDATE —
Welp, it sounds like our buddy Sakran is claiming the police *asked him* to delete the thread about the death threat under his windshield.
Except is also sounds like Sakran didn’t file any police report nor did Fairfax PD ask him to do any such thing.
MORE UPDATES:
Sakran is now claiming Police *asked him* to delete the tweet.
A Lieutenant at Fairfax PD, Sakran’s local police, has verified for @TPostMillennial that Sakran did not file a police report, nor did Fairfax PD ask him to delete his tweet.https://t.co/GzIJ89gRwQ

HOOboy.
The Fairfax County PD is the jurisdiction which surrounds Fairfax station, where Sakran’s home is located, and where the death threat was allegedly discovered.
This story continues to develop and information may change.

To her point, this is a moving, changing story so we will update as things continue to develop.
As Twitchy readers know, Joseph Sakran wrote a fairly lengthy thread about receiving a death thread under the windshield of his car. Sakran even shared photos of the alleged death threat sitting under his windshield wiper … which may have ultimately been why he ended up deleting the entire thread.
Upon closer inspection of the photo it looked like the photo had been taken in someone’s personal garage as opposed to a work/parking garage.

Now it’s entirely possible the threat was real but that he deleted the thread after it received quite a bit of attention is a bit suspect. Just sayin’.
Somehow we knew @JosephSakran
would delete the tweets alleging he received a "threat" over his gun control advocacy. So we screen gabbed them. #Hoax #Smollett #BS #UhHuh #Hmmm #Sakran #GunControl #Gunsense #TheyCantTellTheTruth #TheTruthAboutGunshttps://t.co/Yso3RSSaua— The Truth About Guns (@guntruth) January 27, 2020
The editor of the original piece can confirm the tweets from his thread are indeed gone. We asked Sakran why he deleted the thread in an effort to give him the benefit of the doubt (hey, things happen, the tweets could have been wiped by accident, reported and removed, etc.), but at this point he has not responded.
UPDATE: On January 27, @JosephSakran appears to have deleted the tweet detailing the alleged death threat he received.

Another gun-grabber hoax?
So, this happened… @markseamonmd @falcone_rich
Are you doctors starting to rethink how much trust you put in @josephsakran? Thousands on Twitter could see through what you could not.#ObviousFraudIsObvious#gunsense pic.twitter.com/4Hr2gFxuhU

We’ll keep an eye out to see if Sakran explains why he deleted the thread …
