Need info on a Freek Republic 'terrorist".
It was about a year ago. He was a frequent poster on FR, who got picked up by the cops for making death threats to prominent liberals. I can't recall enough details to make an efficient web search. Can anyone here help?

4. ah memories
that was a fun night of googling... It was obvious he was a freerepublic poster the second the story came out. Maybe the real anthrax attacker was a poster too?

5. MEET TYLER JOSEPH FROATZ: MINUTEMAN, FREEPER, TERRORIST
http://onepeoplesproject.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=1165&Itemid=2


If this guy had a Muslim name, Freak Republic, Fox News and Michelle Malkin would be all over the place screaming that the sky is falling unless we kill all Muslims. We are talking about one of them, however, so they aren't going to say much about the fact that police found a virtual arsenal in his vehicle and apartment after he was busted threatening and assaulting pro-immigration groups. What sucks for them is the fact that the rest of us will talk about him, but don't worry. We don't think the sky is falling unless we kill all conservatives. In fact we have an open invite to Freak Republic to explain why they should not be looked upon harshly because one of their own flew off the handle. They have some explaining to do especially since all of a sudden there is no presence of his on the Freak Republic website, even though he has been a very active member. His name "Tfroatz" is still there, but his postings are nonexistent and the pictures they had of him on the site are deleted. The Herndon Minuteklan need to rap to us too. He was representing them in a Washington Times interview last year. Now they are trying to pretend he was never a member. See, time and time again it becomes that much easier to lay the political hatemongering, bigotry and violence of these right-wing groups, and yet again, we have someone who defines it all too much for them. Well, this guy is going to be in court this Thursday for the crap he pulled on May 1, and a lot of us are going to be in that courtroom with him, just to let him and his supporters know this is the last straw. We are not going to wait until the assorted bigots in these circles actually hurt someone.
One People's Project

WASHINGTON, DC--A year ago, Tyler Joseph Froatz was very angry about the May 1st pro-immigration rallies of that year, but as a member of the Herndon, Va. Chapter of the Minutemen Project he put a spin on them when he was interviewed by the far-right-leaning Washington Times. "These protests are great for us and all other legal Americans because polls show that these protests only serve to alienate the community," he said.

Froatz was particularly active in not only the Minutemen, but the DC Chapter of Free Republic. At Walter Reed Medical Center, where Code Pink and other anti-war groups demonstrated in support of soldiers injured in what they saw as an unjust war. Froatz counter-protested with other members of the neo-conservative organization, including a member with a screen name "Tolerance Sucks Rocks".

Now both groups are trying to distance themselves from the 24-year old New Jersey native and Ryder College graduate after police arrested him after he assaulted a member of the ANSWER Coalition at an immigration rally in Meridian Park (Malcolm X Park) on May 1 and found several weapons in his jeep and also his apartment that was searched later.
