Stamford Man Charged for Online Threats Against Jews: Indictment

STAMFORD, CT—A city man was indicted after he allegedly made threats online targeted toward Jewish people.

Kendall Sullivan, 50, left threatening messages on an internet forum known as Metalthrone.net on at least three occasions, according to the indictment.

FBI and Stamford Police executed a federal search warrant July 15 and seized more than two dozen firearms, hundreds of rounds of ammunition and additional firearm components. He was charged with unlawful possession of unregistered high capacity magazines at the time.

The indictment alleges that on May 29, 2016, Sullivan stated “Israel, God and Synagogues. I will kill them. I have a few “Houses of Satan” in my Town… If these Jews truly believe in their god Satan, I will upset their world. I will slaughter them and burn their Synagogue to the ground . . . kids, goldfish, old folks… Shove money down their throats. These Jews of 2016. They think they are safe.”

On June 10, 2016, it is alleged that he stated to another user: “I am going after YOU..Your Family, Wife, kids, Grandkids, Gold Fish . . . I am warning YOU, I will go after YOU. As I get older, I just don’t give a damn . . . I will meet you in Westport at the Carvel! And then I will shoot or run over you . . . it is not just YOU, but your fellow Satanists I want to track down and kill.. I will use YOU to find others…And Kill them . . . You are a [expletive] JEW! . . I want to kill you . . . If only that . . . Name a place . . . You are Satanic and must be destroyed. Wifes [sic], kids, Dogs, Cats, Goldfish . . . . All destroyed.”

On July 5, 2016, it is alleged that he stated: “[I] Am prepared to shoot YOU on sight! And shove Money down your dead [expletives]…Hole. Humans who define their entire existence thru that price tag – They are not human beings but Demons and must be destroyed…I am looking forward to my death thru Jesus Christ. I will be Free. I will be understood. Afterall, I am a Warrior of Jesus Christ and want to be his Soldier.”

It is a violation of federal law to send a threatening communication in interstate or foreign commerce, such as by phone, email, text, mobile messaging applications or otherwise online. If convicted of the charges in the indictment, Sullivan faces a maximum term of imprisonment of five years on each count.
