Man Sentenced For Hate Mail To Latino Advocacy Groups

Sixty-one year old Vincent Johnson of Brick, New Jersey was sentenced to 4 years and 2 months in federal prison Monday, plus $10,000 in fines, after making several death threats via email to various Hispanic advocacy groups under the name "Devilfish". Federal Judge Anne E. Thompson of the District of New Jersey also ordered that Vincent be supervised for three years after his release from prison.

Vincent plead guilty in October 2010 to ten counts of emailing the Latino Justice Puerto Rican Legal Defense and Education Fund, the Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund, the National Council of La Raza, the League of United Latin American Citizens and the National Coalition of Latin Clergy and Christian Leaders with messages such as the ones below between 2006 and 2009.

“Do you have a last will and testament? If not, better get one real soon.”

“If the idiots in the organizations which this e-mail is being copied to can't fathom the serious nature of their actions, then they will be on the hit list just like any illegal alien...actually, they are already on the list”

“I am giving you fair warning that your presence and position is being tracked...you are dead meat...along with anyone else in your organization”

“So be warned or we may find you in the obits”; “Get into the American groove or we will destroy your sorry [expletive]”

“My preference would be to buy more ammunition to deal with the growing chaos created by the pro-illegal alien groups. RIP [names of the victims] who are not the friends of our democracy.”

“After reading the article below can you give me simply one good reason why someone should not put a bullet between your eyes for your actions that are promoting lawlessness in this country?”

“[Y]ou are putting yourself and your staff at great risk . . . and by virtue of the network that I operate under information about your malevolent ways is broadly disseminated. . . And you could very well find yourself belly up 6 feet under.” Throughout his emails, Johnson also made offensive and disparaging remarks about Latinos, including comments such as, “[t]here can be absolutely no argument against the fact that Mexicans are scum as all they know how to do is [expletive] and kill.”
