‘Dead men can’t write s--t laws’: Feds say Queens Proud Boy wannabe made online threats, had 1,000 rounds of ammo, knives, swords, firearms

A heavily armed Proud Boys wannabe from Queens stood back and stood by Wednesday as Brooklyn federal prosecutors accused him of leveling death threats against Georgia Sen.-elect Raphael Warnock and other politicians.

Eduard Florea, 40, watched via video feed as prosecutors described the discovery of his hateful and murderous posts on the far-right Parler app, along with a raid on his home, where authorities seized about 1,000 rounds of rifle ammunition, 24 shotgun shells, 75 combat knives, two hatchets and two swords.

“Dead men can’t write s--t laws,” read one of Florea’s Jan. 6 posts in the online forum. Authorities said the menacing remark referenced Warnock, a Black Democrat elected in Georgia’s Jan. 5 runoff election.

The post was written from the defendant’s Middle Village home on the same day as last week’s U.S. Capitol riot, officials said.

One day earlier, Florea — under the screen name “LoneWolfWar” — cast a wider net with another post referencing lawmakers in general: “I catch one of you f-----s in D.C. tomorrow, I’m definitely slicing a throat.”

Now I’d be pleased with a supply like that.

But 1,000 is enough for some good fun at the range a few times.

That’s for throat-slicing.

Definitely juvenile in expressing himself, but his arsenal is not impressive. I’ve seen more shotgun shells than that on a Boy Scout’s dresser drawer when I was a kid.

1000 rounds. How many days at the practice range is that?

And swords? How many attacks have been carried out with swords? Grand total?

Maybe that is all he had outside of his hidden stash?

They are going to have to “dig” harder to make him sound nuts LOL

Does anyone have footage of the prosecutors describing Madonna’s threat to blow up the White House?

I hate liver, tongue and eggplant.

Need I point out that all are brown?

Does the FIB come and get me for hatefulness now?

Doesn't sound like much to me. I've heard of a lot more.

I'm not a gun guy even though my screen name seems to indicate I am. The screen name refers to my approach when debating issues.

What does “Proud Boys wannabe’ mean? Does it mean he is not in fact one of the Proud Boys, but the author wants to drag them into the story early even if they’re not relevent to the case?

“Dead men can’t write s—t laws,”

That is a fact. Whether it amounts to a threat, I don’t know.

Note the author doesn’t mention why Warnock could be so disliked... such as saying equally inflammatory stuff?
