The U.S. Attorney's Office for the Middle District of Pennsylvania announced yesterday that a 32 year old Pennsylvania man has been sentenced to 18-months in prison after he pleaded guilty to one count of interstate transmission of threats to injure another person. According to the press release:
[Corbin] Kauffman posted a digitally-created image of his own arm and hand aiming an AR-15 rifle at a congregation of praying Jewish men, gathered in a synagogue. The threatening image came in the wake of the October 27, 2018 mass-shooting at Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania..... On the same day ..., Kauffman also shared a video of the Tree of Life shooting, as well as another post in support of the shooter [and] ... also posted multiple references to “hate crimes” and a photograph of vandalism he committed by defacing a display case at the Chabad Lubavitch Jewish Center in Ocean City, Maryland, with white supremacist and anti-Semitic stickers.
