Florida man arrested for threatening Miami Beach LGBT-friendly church with an attack ‘bigger than Orlando’

By Fabio Crispim

A Florida man has been arrested in Miami Beach after allegedly threatening to commit an attack larger than the Orlando massacre.

34-year-old Joseph Jorczak targeted the LGBT friendly Miami Beach Community Church in a series of online posts made throughout November.

Jorczak’s post said, “You cannot trust the LGBT community,” calling them “nasty people.”

“The Miami Beach Community Church is filled with a bunch of sick homosexuals,” adding that “Orlando will look small to what is coming to Miami Beach, specifically the Miami Beach Community Church.”

NBC Miami reports that Jorczak made enquiries into obtaining an AR-15 assault rifle and shared a video on how to make a pure napalm in seconds.

Police stormed and attempted to question Jorczak in his apartment on Wednesday (November 30) but he refused to cooperate.

He was eventually arrested and charged with stalking, cyber stalking and violating a restraining order against Miami Beach Community Church’s Reverend Hunter Thompson.
