Reardon was arrested this morning.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe allegations here about the series of threats Mr. Reardon made against the Jewish community are deeply disturbing and reflect the increasing torrent of antisemitism across our country and right here in Massachusetts. The numbers do not lie \u2014 incidents of antisemitism and Islamophobia are spiking. We will continue to work every day with our federal, state and local partners to track down people who allegedly engage in such hateful conduct,\u201d said Acting United States Attorney Joshua S. Levy.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJohn Reardon is accused of using his words as a weapon, leaving a threatening message to frighten members of the Congregation Agudas Achim,\u201d said Jodi Cohen, Special Agent in Charge of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Boston Division. \u201cNo one should have to fear becoming the victim of physical violence at the hands of an angry stranger. While the FBI does not and will not police ideology, we take all threats to life seriously, and so should anyone thinking about making one.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>According to the charging documents, on the morning of Jan. 25, 2024, Reardon allegedly called Congregation Agudas Achim, a synagogue in Attleboro, Mass. and left a voicemail making the following statements:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou do realize that by supporting genocide that means it\u2019s ok for people to commit genocide against you;\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cWith supporting the killing of innocent little children, that means it\u2019s OK to kill your children;\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cFrom the river to the sea;\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cPeople are going to use your logic against you, you stupid f**ks;\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cGuess what? We are going to use your logic \u2014if you can kill the Palestinians, we can kill you;\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cIf you can bomb their f**king places of worship we can bomb yours, if you can kill their children we can kill yours;\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cYou people need to stop the f**king genocide;\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cEnd the genocide, or it is time to end Israel and all the Jews;\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cI supported Jewish people though. Not anymore. A matter of fact I think we should kill you(s) all;\u201d and<br \/>\n\u201cHave a lousy day and oh don&#8217;t be surprised if there&#8217;s pig blood on your steps tomorrow.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It is further alleged that, within 10 minutes of leaving the voicemail at the Congregation Agudas Achim, Reardon called another local Synagogue as well as a local Jewish affiliated organization. Reardon was arrested by local law enforcement after the calls were made.<\/p>\n<p>The charge of using a facility of interstate commerce to threaten a person or place with harm via an explosive provides for a sentence of up to 10 years in prison, three years of supervised release and a fine of up to $250,000.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>BOSTON (DOJ) \u2013 A Millis, Mass. man was arrested by federal authorities today for allegedly threatening to kill members of the Jewish community and bomb places of worship.
