BROOKLYN (CN) — After three hours of deliberation, a jury found Brendan Hunt guilty of threatening to murder members of Congress in online posts before and in the wake of the Jan. 6 riot at the United States Capitol.

Hunt, 37, faces up to 10 years in prison for the threats, which targeted House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer and U.S. Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, all elected Democrats.

Referring to the officials as “high value target[s],” Hunt called for their public execution by firing squad in Facebook posts in December 2020.

In the days following the Washington, D.C. insurrection, Hunt posted a video titled “Kill Your Senators” on the streaming platform BitChute. In the video, he advocated for an armed return to the scene during President Joe Biden’s inauguration ceremony.

“We need to go back to the U.S. Capitol, when all of the senators and a lot of the representatives are back there, and this time we have to show up with our guns,” Hunt said in the video. “And we need to slaughter these motherfuckers.”

In the video, Hunt refers to the U.S. government as a “ZOG,” a term used by white supremacists to mean “Zionist-Occupied Government.”

1. That was a speedy trial!

The initial threat was in Dec and he was convicted just 4 months later.

3. This could be the first look at sentencing that we will see

I hope I’m wrong but we may see some knee buckling white privilege very soon.
