Las Vegas police have arrested a man
who in a YouTube video threatened to kill gays.
Local ABC
affiliate KTNV reported that 24-year-old Bryce Cuellar is being
held on $100,000 bail and is scheduled to be in court on Thursday,
September 1.
In the video, which has since been
removed, Cuellar is seen wearing a military vest and holding a rifle.
Calling himself a Christian warrior, Cuellar reportedly threatened
to kill “gays, faggots, lesbians and satanists.” He said that he
was angry over the government's attempts to take away his First and
Second Amendment rights. He added that he was tired of America.
Police said that Cuellar posted on his
Facebook page about the June 12th mass shooting in an
Orlando gay nightclub, which took the lives of 49 people and injured
dozens more.
Police added that Cuellar physically
attacked his wife, punching and choking her, about an hour after he
posted his video on YouTube. He reportedly threatened to kill her.
Cuellar admitted to making the video,
telling police that he was angry and drunk at the time but is not a
murderer.
Police have charged Cuellar with making
terrorist threats.
