Texas man sentenced to jail for two bomb threats, claims he was just trying to be “edgy” in tweet to blow up Fed building

Obviously, no one appreciates Joel Hayden Schrimsher or his edginess.

Nineteen-year-old Schrimsher was found guilty on charges of making terroristic threats for a series of tweets posted in 2019, which he claimed he posted trying to be “edgy.”

What was so edgy?  Well, blowing up a Federal Reserve building, burning down a mosque and shooting up a synagogue.

Today, however, his threatening tweet to blow up a Federal Reserve building got him 24 months behind bars, according to the Valley Morning Star News.

In June 2019, Schrimsher tweeted threats to torch a mosque, shoot up a synagogue and bomb the Fed.  After detailing a family discussion about government, Schrimsher lamented the lack of action by saying “Me: I’m gonna mail a bomb to the Federal Reserve.”

The federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives agents based in Washington, D.C. didn’t see the edginess in Schrimsher’s tweets and notified the local police department.  The police in Harlingen, a city of about 65,000 people miles from the Mexican border, found bomb-making materials including aluminum powder, red iron oxide, sulfur nitrate, and potassium nitrate alongside hand-written formulas to make napalm, thermite, flash powder, nitroglycerin, and smoke bombs at Schrimsher’s house.

Schrimsher’s father testified that the chemicals were used to make smoke bombs at a cookout three years prior.

Police also found racist photos, content glorifying Nazis, and still footage of a school shooting on Schrimser’s cell phone.  The also found a photo of a mock-up of a certificate declaring him “Most Likely to Bomb a Federal Building.”

In August, Schrimsher was found guilty in federal court for the threats against Federal Reserve, and he will serve 24 months in federal prison after being found guilty.  He still faces state charges for all three threats.
