A man called in a bomb threat to the Orlando Police Department late Tuesday, threatening to blow up the agency’s headquarters and other nearby buildings because people are being “put... out of work” due to the coronavirus crisis, an arrest report said.

Justin Demorea Black, 28, faces charges of false report of a bombing and unlawful use of a two-way communication device. Police did not find any explosives when they arrested him, according to the report.

Police said a caller dialed 911 about 7:15 p.m. Tuesday — about two hours after Mayor Buddy Dyer and Orange County Mayor Jerry Demings announced a county-wide stay-at-home order in response to the COVID-19 pandemic — and claimed to have four bombs.

From later in the article- "The officer confirmed Black had placed the calls by having the dispatch center call him back, the report shows."

I was pretty PO’d that the local Ashby’s Ice Cream parlor temporarily closed.

I just wanted a pre-packed pint of Carrot Cake ice cream.

Probably a guy who was pissed off because his local bar was closed.

No, probably po’ed because he had lost his job. I think you’re going to see a lot of this...these two-bit mayors have gone power mad and are killing their towns. They don’t have to worry because they get a government paycheck.

I wish CA Governor and LA Mayor would pay attention to this story...

Shutting down CA for several months will drive people crazy...

"Probably a guy who was pissed off because his local bar was closed."

There are probably quite a few "high functioning" alcoholics in the country. If their booze gets cut off they may start acting up. I don't know if there are any others but this guy just missed being among the death toll of the shutdown.

Anybody heard from the day traders? I think my kid brother tried that for awhile. Buy on the dips, sell on the peaks. Works great until the market breaks out of its recent trading range. This market could probably make quite a few of them suicidal.
