A California man who threatened to bomb and shoot people at Merriam-Webster Inc. over the dictionary company’s inclusive language around gender was sentenced to prison Thursday, prosecutors said.

Jeremy David Hanson, 34, was sentenced to one year and one day in prison, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Massachusetts said in a statement Friday.....

In 2021 Hanson used the dictionary’s “contact us” feature on its website to say that he was “going to shoot up and bomb your offices” and called them Marxists, in addition to other threatening comments, officials said.....

As part of a plea deal Hanson admitted to making threats to others, including Walt Disney Co., professors at Loyola Marymount University, and toy company Hasbro, among others, officials said

2. Nice to know he thinks he's entitled to control the world. Who does he think he is, Donald Trump?

He doesn't need incarceration. He needs a psychiatrist.

IMO

4. With those anger issues, his psychiatric care should take place away from society...

…with no access to weapons.

5. Gotta be pretty dumb to think Merriam-Webster are "Marxists."

6. "I will personally go to your university and start executing tyrannical leftist students and faculty

“I will personally go to your university and start executing tyrannical leftist students and faculty who oppress conservatives. The only good Democrat is a dead Democrat,” he wrote in that case.
