An Illinois woman inspired by pro-Trump QAnon conspiracy theory videos traveled to New York City on Wednesday with more than a dozen illegal knives and threatened to kill former Vice President Joe Biden, according to police and her own social media posts.

New York police officers arrested dancer Jessica Prim, 37, on Wednesday after she began to act strangely on a city pier. In a live video Prim posted on Facebook of her arrest. She ranted about saving children and claimed she had come to New York because of an internet conspiracy theory video about a “cabal” of pedophile Democrats.

“Have you guys heard about the kids?” a tearful Prim said as she was arrested. “OK, I’m not lying.”

Shortly before her arrest, Prim posted on Facebook that Hillary Clinton and Biden “need to be taken out.”

“Hillary Clinton and her assistant, Joe Biden and Tony Podesta need to be taken out in the name of Babylon!” Prim wrote. “I can’t be set free without them gone. Wake me up!!!!!”

At another point during her arrest, Prim said she believed Donald Trump was talking to her directly during his coronavirus press conferences. Prim is facing more than a dozen counts of criminal possession of a weapon over the knives, as well as a marijuana possession charge, according to the New York Daily News.........................................

...........“Prim appears to have gone to the pier because she was convinced it was near the U.S. Navy Hospital Ship Comfort, the hospital ship that was sent to New York City to help with the coronavirus pandemic,” The Daily Beast reports. “A faction of QAnon believers have become obsessed with the Comfort, convinced that it’s being used to rescue ‘mole children’ abused by the ‘cabal.'”

Right Wing propagandists set these random actors in motion.

Eventually they find a target, like Gabby Giffords.

It appears to start when the police approached her car, which was stopped but still running.

She sounds deranged at that moment. It's probably a good thing that she wound up where she did, at the piers, for the security coverage. (The Comfort was parked at a pier 4 blocks north of there.)

Jessica Prim, 37, live-streamed her arrest on Facebook, keeping her phone camera rolling as she told police near the USS Intrepid that she needed help and declared: “I think I’m the coronavirus."

Police took Prim into custody about 1:30 p.m., after she drove her silver Toyota Tundra down a service road on Pier 86, near the Intrepid, and began acting erratically.

A security guard called the NYPD, and as cops spoke to her, they learned the Secret Service was looking for her because of comments she made on Facebook, law enforcement sources said.
....
A Secret Service agent can be heard arriving at the scene a few minutes into the video. Prim was taken to Mount Sinai West for treatment, and she was charged with marijuana possession and 18 counts of criminal possession of a weapon, for knives that were in her car, police said.


As it happened, the USNS Comfort left NYC today:

Plus, when I saw the term 'dancer', my first thought was less 'ballet', and more 'exotic'...
