| Social Security office in Lubbock |
From KLBK:
A man was indicted on federal charges Wednesday and accused of threatening to blow up the Social Security Administration buildings in Lubbock [TX] and Hobbs, New Mexico, according to court documents.
Michael Wayne Nietfield, was indicted on three counts of interstate threatening communications and three counts of attempting to interfere with the Social Security Administration.
According to court documents, on July 1, Nietfield threatened that he would go to his nearest SSA building – located in Lubbock – and “blow it up.” He also said he was “going to be in jail for what he is about to do.”
The next day he threatened to bomb the SSA building in Hobbs and ordered the manager to evacuate the office, according to court documents.
That same day, Nietfield threatened the Lubbock SSA building again.
According to court documents, he said if he didn’t get a response, “you better call them and clear them [sic] offices, cause I’m blowing these sons of b****** up.”
ReplyDeleteThis is another example of why it is good that telework keeps SSA employees safe at home. And this is not an isolated incident. I've see several "ban" letters that went out to claimants who threatened SSA employees.
Sounds like he meets a listing.
ReplyDeleteIt happens in grocery stores, convivence stores, phone stores, DMVs, and all sorts of other locations including school board meetings these days. Nothing special.
