Washington Post: [Jack Teixeira,] Discord leaks suspect discussed mass violence, had ‘arsenal,’ prosecutors say

In the court documents, prosecutors reveal that Teixeira was suspended from high school in 2018 after a classmate overheard him talking about “Molotov cocktails, guns at the school, and racial threats.” On social media in recent years, he has continued such rhetoric, prosecutors say, writing in a November message that he wanted to kill a “ton of people” because it would be “culling the weak minded.” In February, he asked a user for advice about what kind of rifle would fire best from an SUV, saying he wanted to commit a shooting in a “crowded urban or suburban environment.”

RT dan @thedansimonson@lingo.lol

@peter just really makes my blood boil that this whole leak is being spun as a “social media issue” and not a massive fucking failure of the clearance investigation process.

How did this turd pass a poly? I guess “have you ever plotted to commit a mass shooting” isn’t one of the questions—though god forbid you copped some adderall in college
