"I am a terrorist, and I'm happy to spill your blood. Spilling the blood of tyrants like you feels good. It feels real good :-)."
"I'm going to torture and murder you,"
David Pokorny, 45, allegedly sent violent email threats in September to U.S. District Judge Charles Breyer and Oakland Mayor Barbara Lee. Prosecutors allege Pokorny wrote 11 emails on September 2 from a San Diego‑area hotel threatening to “skin” Breyer alive, calling him an “enemy combatant,” and asserting, “We have a legal right to do this because California courts & judges rule in favor of godless socialists.” He allegedly added, “I am a terrorist, and I'm happy to spill your blood.” About a week later Pokorny allegedly emailed Mayor Lee with racially charged threats, including calling her a “psychopath” and saying “I'm going to torture and murder you.” Staff discovered the emails on September 22, Pokorny was arrested in October, and he remains held at Santa Rita Jail pending a potential grand jury indictment.
