Nicholas Thalasinos
Cleveland, Tn., minister Patrick Hampton learned Thursday morning that one of his Facebook friends was one of the 14 murdered victims at the mass shooting in San Bernardino, Calif., on Wednesday and that he had received a death threat earlier that day.
Mr. Hampton, who said he had been a Facebook friend of Nicholas Thalasinos for the past three years, shared on his Facebook Timeline that Mr.
Thalasinos had posted on his Timeline early on the morning of the shooting that he had received a death threat in his “inbox” from an “antisemitic brain surgeon.”
According to a shared post on Mr. Hampton's Facebook Timeline, Mr. Thalasinos states the following:
“Here is a message sent to me by the ANTISEMITIC BRAIN SURGEON ---- ------
'you will never sucsseed to make a country for jews , because you are criminals and cowards ,you are juste using usa and europe to fight for you , soon you ll get your ass kicked , you will die and never see israel as country believe me never.'
“Besides his SPARKLING SPELLING SKILLS and FLAWLESS GRAMMAR he seems to forget ISRAEL IS ALREADY A COUNTRY!
He ALSO assumes I'm a JEW - a great Compliment, I should keep him around for that reason alone!
“Anyway my new hobby appears to be BLOCKING PAGAN ANTISEMITIC TROGLODYTES so I'm just passing this along to warn others.
Oh - and this ISNT the person I mentioned EARLIER. That was way WORSE.”
A check of Mr. Thalasinos' actual Facebook Timeline verified the above post.
Mr. Hampton, who once served as abstinence educator in the Hamilton County Public Schools and director of the Goodwill Youth Advantage Mentoring Program, told Chattanoogan.com that his friend never communicated anything about the “Holiday Party” or either of the shooters.
He did say, however, that he believes Mr. Thalasinos received the threat because he “was very outspoken against jihadists, ISIS and other anti-Semitic groups.”
