Man Charged In Bomb Threat At North Carolina GOP Office

HENDERSONVILLE, N.C. (AP) — A man is facing felony charges after being accused of making a bomb threat against a GOP office in North Carolina.

The Hendersonville Police Department said in a news release that the Henderson County party headquarters received a bomb threat Thursday morning on the organization’s voicemail, prompting an evacuation. The State Bureau of Investigation swept the building with a bomb dog and found no explosives.

Authorities say they were able to trace the call back to 24-year-old Dylan J. Schacht, of Hendersonville, who was arrested and charged with one count of terrorism and one count of filing a false report concerning a destructive device.

The threat came just days after someone firebombed the Orange County Republican headquarters.

It is unclear whether Schacht has an attorney.

  1. Good. I don’t care whose supporters these people are, they need to be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. They are just as dangerous as Trumps refusal to accept the results of the election.

  2. Another fricking moron, just like Peanut Butter Lady in Wisconsin.

    The threats and vandalism do more harm to our electoral goals than good, and allow the media to point to the idea that we are the same as the Trump supporters who beat people up.

    Stop being stupid.

  3. Good going, asshat. What a way to make your cause look evil–and ruin your own life at the same time.

  4. I doubt anyone that makes a “bomb threat” has any intention of really doing it. If that’s what you plan on doing I’d think you’d STFU about it and just do it. Hopefully this dip shit rots for a few years in the can.
