I am taking any grown man willing to dress up as The Joker seriously as a terrorist threat.
One look at this guy’s mugshot, and you can tell he is willing to do what needs to be done to bring down Gotham and the Batman.
Here is what he is being accused of and why the cops should be aware of any potential belly bombs.
A convicted felon in Missouri accused of livestreaming threats to bomb and kill people while he was dressed up as the Batman villain known as The Joker was sentenced Friday to 60 days in jail, with credit for several months served after his arrest.
Jeremy Garnier, 51, of University City, was sentenced after pleading guilty to a misdemeanor charge of making a terrorist threat. Prosecutors reduced the charge from a felony for the March 2020 incident.
Garnier told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch that he never intended to make a threat and pleaded guilty to the misdemeanor to avoid many more months in jail.
“I was talking like The Joker,” Garnier said Saturday in a telephone interview. “I was in character. Everybody knew that it was a joke and that I had no intentions of following through with a threat.”
Garnier told the Post-Dispatch he served more than 20 years in federal and state prison for robbing a credit union in the 1980s and for other felonies, in order to support his crack habit. He said he is now sober and wants to use his platform to raise awareness about the opioid epidemic.
Do you believe him?
I sort of do because this is the type of stuff people do online these days, if we are being honest.
He is spending more time in jail than Trump is wild to me, and it should be wild to you.
