FBI arrests Texas man for racist video threat to kill 'at least 200' Black Lives Matter protesters

The FBI arrested a Texas man who allegedly threatened to kill Black Lives Matter protesters in a racist video posted online.

FBI agents arrested Manuel Flores, a 42-year-old truck driver from El Paso, on Monday in the Dallas area on a federal charge of making a threat over the internet, the FBI and U.S. Attorney's Office said Wednesday night.

Flores allegedly recorded and uploaded a video to YouTube in which he made threats to Black Lives Matter protesters, the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Western District of Texas said citing a federal criminal complaint.

The complaint stated that an investigation began Saturday following an online tip to the FBI National Threat Operations Center regarding an alleged threat to shoot protesters in the Dallas area.

...he would have been proving, by his own behavior, that those Black Lives Matter protesters are right. He would have been proving their point. In fact, the threat itself proves their point.
