A Texas man was convicted by a federal jury for making violent threats to lynch and kill Nashville District Attorney (DA) Glenn Funk. David Aaron Bloyed of Frost, Texas, was found guilty of one count of communicating a threat in interstate commerce after posting a series of graphic threats targeting Funk following the arrest of a member of the antisemitic Goyim Defense League during a 2024 protest in Nashville, according to a press release from the Department of Justice (DOJ). The posts included a photo of Funk with the caption “Getting the rope” and other imagery referencing lynching and antisemitic violence. Officials from the DOJ and FBI emphasized that such threats against law enforcement and public servants undermine the justice system and will not be tolerated. Bloyed faces up to five years in federal prison. The FBI Nashville Field Office and the Metropolitan Nashville Police Department are investigating the case.
