    Conspiracy Theorist Arrested for Death Threats Against Sandy Hook Parent

    by DANIELLA SILVA


    A Florida woman who believes the Sandy Hook massacre of 26 children was a hoax was indicted for making death threats to a parent of the one of the victims killed in the shooting, the Department of Justice said in a statement Wednesday, in another example of fake news potentially leading to real violence.

    Lucy Richards,
    57, was indicted on four counts of transmitting threats in interstate commerce, the Department of Justice announced Wednesday. Each count carries a maximum of five years in prison.


    Richards, of Tampa, Florida, was arrested Monday, the DOJ said.

    Richards is accused of making a series of death threats to a parent of one of the children killed in the mass shooting on or around Jan. 10 of this year, according to the DOJ statement.

    Richards' arrest came just one week before the fourth anniversary of the Dec. 14, 2012 shooting in Newtown, Connecticut.

    Authorities allege Richards sent the individual messages saying "you gonna die, death is coming to you real soon" and "LOOK BEHIND YOU IT IS DEATH," according to the indictment.
    The DOJ did not release the name of the parent, but said the individual lives in South Florida.

    Richards' belief that the school shooting never occurred was the motivation behind the death threats, the DOJ said.

    In the years since the shooting, various online conspiracy website have falsely claimed the shooting was a massive hoax concocted to erode Second Amendment gun rights.


    Richards is scheduled for initial court appearance on Dec. 19.


    Conspiracy theorist and Trump supporter Alex Jones has repeatedly and falsely claimed the shooting never happened on his website Infowars.

    Last month, the daughter of a victim of the shooting called on Trump to disavow the radio host. Jones has said that the president elect called him to thank him for his support.


    Richards' case is similar to an incident over the weekend, where an armed North Carolina man traveled to a Washington D.C. pizzeria while trying to investigate an unfounded conspiracy theory that the restaurant was involved in a child sex trafficking tied to the Clintons, according to court documents.

    You know we do have some people are just off the rails in this country.
    In fact, we have a lot that are. Some are just 'off', some are off due to too much drugs - illegal for sure - but far too many from legal drugs.

    They have made conspiracy a bad word - as they have a lot of our language - and it works. Just say something and they immediately label it a 'conspiracy theory' and it almost nullifies it. A great tool to have in the war on people's minds.

    Florida woman who threatened parent of Sandy Hook victim sentenced

    Published June 07, 2017 Fox News

    A Florida woman who threatened a man whose son was killed in the 2012 Sandy Hook elementary school shooting was sent to prison Wednesday.

    Lucy Richards, 57, pleaded guilty to interstate transmission of a threat to injure in communications with Lenny Pozner, father of Noah Pozner, who died in the Newtown, Conn., school shooting.


    Investigators say Richards, who believed the Sandy Hook shooting was a hoax, left four voicemail and email threats for Pozner in January 2016, after viewing websites that claimed the shooting was a hoax aimed at curtailing Americans’ Second Amendment gun ownership rights.

    Senior U.S. District Judge James Cohn, who sentenced Richards to five months in prison, followed by five months of home detention, said Richards’ actions were “disturbing” and that no one should cite a conspiracy theory or belief in a hoax in the deaths of 20 children and six adults that occurred at the school.


    “I don’t know where my heart and head were that day, but they were not in the right place,” Richards read from a statement before she was sentenced. “It was the worst mistake of my life and I am truly sorry.”


    Richards was also sentenced to three years of probation and is barred from accessing a list of conspiracy theory websites.
