NYC Pride 2021 occurred months ago, but we are just now finding out the details of a suspected domestic terrorist attack that had been planned for the typically joyful day celebrating LGBTQ acceptance and identity.
Aaron Katersky of ABC News reported that in a federal courtroom on Monday, Dec. 6, prosecutors revealed Robert Fehring of Bayport, New York, had “threatened to attack the 2021 New York City Pride March with ‘firepower’ that would ‘make the 2016 Orlando Pulse Nightclub shooting look like a cakewalk.”
According to Katersky, Fehring had “allegedly sent at least 60 letters threatening to assault, shoot and bomb LGBTQ-affiliated individuals, organizations and businesses. He was arrested Monday morning.”
