He committed terrorist-like acts and should be punished.Keep him behind bars for the rest of his life where maybe he can get some help and not be the danger to society that he is."Ī New York man pleaded guilty to making threats to dozens of LGBTQ organizations and businesses, including threats to plant explosives at the 2021 Pride Parade in New York City.

"I can't understand what it's like to carry around that much hate, but I do know is what it is like to be the recipient of that hate. I have received more than one dozen letters from him, each getting more hateful, vile, disgusting and dangerous as he threatened to kill me at my home, workplace and out in the community. Fehring is the first step in what I hope will be a maximum sentence for the crimes he has committed over the last 10 years," David Kilmnick, president and CEO of the LGBT Network and someone who received several letters from Fehring, said in a statement to Newsweek on Thursday. In searches of Fehring's home, authorities allegedly found more threatening letters, LGBTQ flags that had been stolen in the area, along with "two loaded shotguns, hundreds of rounds of ammunition, two stun guns, and a stamped envelope addressed to an LGBTQ+-affiliated attorney containing the remains of a dead bird," the DOJ said. The threat from Robert Fehring, a 74-year-old retired teacher, said the amount of "firepower" at the parade would "make the 2016 Orlando Pulse Nightclub shooting look like a cakewalk," referring to the 2016 shooting that killed nearly 50 people and wounded dozens more, according to the Department of Justice.
