LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - The Blaze reported that after the incident last month, they compiled several emails sent with vulgar and alarming threats into 14 pages before sharing them to the media.
According to KTVT, some messages are so explicit, several have not been allowed on television or news reports.
KTVT reported Mayor Beth Van Duyne received email threats regarding the incident which started at the MacArthur High School and has since gone viral via social media.The mayor told the station off camera that those emails they publicized last Thursday are not even the worst Irving officials have received.
One man wrote "All employees of Irving ISD and the Irving PD and their immediate family members are banned from our aircraft," claiming that he was part of a group providing emergency air transportation. He added, "our members will watch your child die bleeding and convulsing on the Love Field tarmac."Such messages have prompted Irving officials to step up their security patrols.
They also received a suspicious message from the hacking group Anonymous. According to the report, the group asked "Where was the bomb squad? Where was the evacuation? What if it had been a real bomb and not just a clock? We do not forgive. We do not forget. Expect us."
One person threatened to detain police officers. "If you do not stand down and back away from your position, I'll be detaining police officers in your jurisdiction who possess any suspicious looking objects."
The Muslim community in Texas, and in other parts of the U.S. and the world, were alarmed at how the teen was treated following his teacher's concern over his project. Social media users were infuriated and expressed their support of the teen through the #IStandWithAhmed threads.
Pres. Barack Obama invited Ahmed to the White House and Facebook founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg invited the teen to their headquarters.
