Man Charged For Terror Threats Against Atlanta Gay Bar

Police have arrested a man who apparently made terroristic threats against a gay nightclub in Atlanta, and then visited two more LGBTQ bars. From Fox 5 News in Atlanta:

Atlanta Police Department Homeland Security detectives said Atlanta resident Chase Staub posted a series of threats in videos on his Instagram story holding a weapon with cryptic and messages threatening patrons of The Heretic written on sticky notes last week.

Staub’s arrest came exactly one week since the mass shooting at a gay club in Colorado, which killed five.

Police said employees at The Heretic called officers after they saw the video with the threatening remarks toward the bar on social media.

A day after investigators became aware of the posts, patrons at two other gay bars, Oscar’s and Felix’s, called the police after Staub appeared there.

By the time police showed up at the bars Staub was no longer there. But he was arrested at home later that day and charged with making terroristic threats and disorderly conduct. Read the full report here. https://youtu.be/jNQQqQqoQrA
