Man Charged For Threatening Lawyers Suing Fox News Over Racial Discrimination

An apparent Fox News fan in Las Vegas has been arrested after what the New York Times described as a five-hour “tense standoff” ended by a SWAT team. The man has now been charged after threatening and harassing the attorneys representing the black plaintiffs in a class-action suit against Fox News.

The Times reported the frightening details:

 [Joseph D.] Amico made several calls to Wigdor L.L.P., the firm representing the Fox News employees. He threatened to blow up the firm’s Fifth Avenue office and to shoot its partners for pursuing the suit against Fox News, lacing his comments with derogatory comments about blacks, Lt. Paul Ng, a spokesman for the New York Police Department, said.

[…]

The broadcast of the news conference infuriated Mr. Amico, the police said. In one telephone conversation with Mr. Wigdor, he threatened to kill the lawyer and his family for supporting black plaintiffs and used a racial slur to describe them. “I was disturbed and shocked and very worried,” Mr. Wigdor said in an interview on Friday. “I took this explicit death threat very seriously.”

This is less than a year after another Fox fan was sentenced after threatening to murder a woman featured in an anti-abortion sting video heavily promoted on Fox.

Watch Fox anchor Kelly Wright talk about why he joined the racial discrimination suit against Fox during an April 26, 2017 press conference held by the Wigdor firm below.

John McKee, Hannie Pie will never stand up for minorities. He was raised in a predominantly white environment. His daddy moved the family to this community which had schools with predominantly white students.

Pie continued the tradition of sending his kids to predominantly white schools, and hanging out with predominantly white friends.

We don’t think he would be pleased if his kids dated or married outside their race.

The whole family have friends who are predominantly white. They associate with people who are predominantly white.

This bigoted Omen stood up for Nixon Trainee Ailes, the useless idiot Bill Shine, Billy and Cheating Trumpster. Don’t expect this semi-Catholic to stand up to his black colleagues. It will never happen.

NOTE TO MASSES

Call every radio talk show across the nation-terrestrial, satellite, and internet-and tell the world about this lawsuit against Fox “News.” Mention certain Fox “News” hosts who stood by others while vacating

Let’s see Hannity stand up for this ‘patriot’.
