Feds investigate Sept 14th “mass murders” threat on Facebook
A law enforcement review of
the “Rebdomine” account revealed a variety of other threatening
statements, including, “I’m going to show the world what a mass murderer
really is. 85 people dead. 160 injured. I’ll get it done!” Following
the July 20 Aurora, Colorado movie theater shooting, “Rebdomine”
criticized the accused shooter’s performance. “James holmes had 6000
rounds of ammo, but only killed 12…I could have done sooo much better.”
SEPTEMBER 7–Alarmed by Facebook posts promoting a “Killing Spree” this month in Littleton, Colorado–home to Columbine High School–FBI agents last week raided a residence allegedly connected to the online threats and seized several guns and “eight books and notebook involving killing,” court records show, the Smoking Gun reported
Law enforcement officials learned of the Facebook posts after a tipster contacted police in Littleton to report a variety of disturbing images and messages on a Facebook page in the name “Eric Rebdomine.” One of the Columbine killers, Eric Harris, used the online alias “Rebdomine.”
Investigators discovered that the “Rebdomine” account had created a Facebook “event” announcing the planned “Killing Spree” in Littleton. “Join me on September 14th and kill as many people as possible,” the notice stated.
The tipster told cops that when she initially visited the page, she saw that “180 people had been invited to the ‘KILLING SPREE,’ and 37 had responded that they were coming,” according to an FBI affidavit sworn by Agent Russell Humphrey.
September 14 is “a significant day in the history of mass killings,” reported Humphrey. On that date in 2006, two Wisconsin students “allegedly obsessed” with the Columbine murders were arrested “with an arsenal of weapons in connection with a planned attack” on a Green Bay high school. Humphrey also noted that a Japanese man who killed eight elementary school students (and injured 13 others) was executed on that date in 2004. Read More…
