    UNCLASSIFIED NJOHSP at a glance YOUR WEEK IN REVIEW | October 29, 2018 Kentucky Man Potentially Planning School Shooting Arrested After Tip From New Jersey Woman Authorities arrested a man they believe planned to carry out a school shooting in central Kentucky after they received a tip from a New Jersey woman about harassing social media messages. Kentucky State Police apprehended Dylan Lee Jarrell (pictured), 21, as he was pulling out of his driveway in Lawrenceburg, Kentucky, shortly before the end of the school day on October 18. Jarrell’s residence is about a block away from a high school. An arrest citation noted that police found threats of bodily harm against multiple people at an unspecified school on his phone. They also discovered a firearm, more than 200 rounds of ammunition, a bulletproof vest, a 100-round magazine, and an Internet search history that included “how to successfully conduct a school shooting” during a search of Jarrell’s home. A woman from Lumberton Township (Burlington County) contacted local authorities and Kentucky State Police to report a racist message she received the previous day from Jarrell that mentioned her three children, who are black. The arrest citation said Jarrell admitted sending the “racially motivated” messages to the woman. Jarrell, whose profile picture showed him holding a gun, had been the suspect in a previous shooting threat in May against a school in Tennessee. He is being held in county jail on charges of harassing communications and terroristic threatening. Jarrell could still face federal charges. Florida Man Arrested in Connection With Pipe Bomb Mailings to Public Figures Federal authorities arrested a Florida man suspected of mailing at least 14 pipe bombs to public figures across the country.

  • How the Media Has Shaped Public Perception of Florida
    From Paradise To Punchline From Paradise to Punchline: How the Media Has Shaped Public Perception of Florida Haley Ruggles Abstract: Florida has always encompassed an otherness that separates it from the rest of the United States. However, the exact nature of what makes Florida unique has shifted overtime. This essay examines how the media’s portrayal of Florida has impacted the way the state is viewed by the rest of the country. Starting after the civil war, Florida was portrayed as an ex- otic paradise. Today, the Florida Man trend has caused Florida to be viewed as place for lawlessness and strange crimes. To avoid a negative impact on Florida’s tourism industry in the future, Florida needs to be reinvented once again. This time, Florida’s rare beauty and ecotourism opportunities need to be highlighted in order to appeal to the desires of millennial travelers. Keywords: Florida, social media, meme, millennials, tourism When Florida became a state in 1845, the frst fag that few over the capital of Tallahassee read, “Let Us Alone” (Pitman 1). From the very beginning, Florida has stood as a separate entity from the rest of the United States. It is a state like no other, ofer- ing year-round sunshine and the magic of Disney, while also be- ing home to hurricanes and giant reptiles. It has miles of white sand beaches and crystal blue water along its two coasts, while the interior consists of muggy, mosquito infested swamps. Flor- ida is indeed a land of contradictions, to the point where “to some people, it's a paradise.

  • The Oregonian Bomb Suspect Threatened Portland Mayor Ted
    The Oregonian Bomb Suspect Threatened Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler Online By Gordon Friedman October 26, 2018 Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler said in a tweet Friday that he may have been threatened by Cesar Sayoc Jr., the Florida man arrested and charged with a spate of attempting bombings targeting Democrats. "Learning from @verge that the alleged Florida bomber may have sent threats to even more people, including me," the mayor tweeted. "Our security team is aware." In his tweet Wheeler cited an article from The Verge, a news site that primarily covers technology, reporting a now-suspended Twitter account belonging to Sayoc threatened Wheeler and others online. A digital archive of Sayoc's account shows he tweeted to Wheeler in the late night hours of Aug. 2, posting a picture of Wheeler and his wife standing with the Portland skyline in the background and calling him "slime scum." "We will see you real soon," read the mostly incoherent, rambling tweet. Sayoc also tweeted threats at Gov. Kate Brown. Wheeler spokeswoman Eileen Park said Friday that the mayor's security team has been monitoring his home and office more closely than usual given the explosive devices mailed to prominent Democrats, including Barack Obama, Bill and Hillary Clinton, Robert De Niro and other critics of President Trump. No suspicious packages have been received, Park said.

  • 1 U.S. White Supremacy Groups Key Points: • Some Modern White
    U.S. White Supremacy Groups Key Points: • Some modern white supremacist groups, such as The Base, Hammerskin Nation, and National Socialist Order (formerly Atomwaffen Division), subscribe to a National Socialist (neo-Nazi) ideology. These groups generally make no effort to hide their overt racist belief that the white race is superior to others. • Other modern white supremacist groups, however, propagate their radical stances under the guise of white ethno-nationalism, which seeks to highlight the distinctiveness––rather than the superiority––of the white identity. Such groups, which include the League of the South and Identity Evropa, usually claim that white identity is under threat from minorities or immigrants that seek to replace its culture, and seek to promote white ethno- nationalism as a legitimate ideology that belongs in mainstream political spheres. • Most modern white supremacist groups eschew violent tactics in favor of using demonstrations and propaganda to sway public opinion and portray their ideologies as legitimate. However, their racial elitist ideologies have nonetheless spurred affiliated individuals to become involved in violent altercations. • White supremacist groups often target youth for recruitment through propaganda campaigns on university campuses and social media platforms. White supremacists have long utilized Internet forums and websites to connect, organize, and propagate their extremist messages. Executive Summary Since the Ku Klux Klan (KKK) first formed in 1865, white supremacist groups in the United States have propagated racism, hatred, and violence. Individuals belonging to these groups have been charged with a range of crimes, including civil rights violations, racketeering, solicitation to commit crimes of violence, firearms and explosives violations, and witness tampering.1 Nonetheless, white supremacist groups––and their extremist ideologies––persist in the United States today.
