Yup, this is what a Twitter Twat looks like!

Man Arrested For Tweeting Threats Toward Mets | Mets Merized Online



Wonder what his First Amendment bending excuse will be...

One positive thing, at least it isn't an employee of the team, that happened to a Philadelphia Phillies employee several years ago when he made scathing and threatening emails in the Phillies' organization email system!

The truly sad thing about that incident though (and why it comes to mind), is that outside the area media outlets (i.e. New York City radio) saw the term "phanatic" used and presumed that the employee in hot water was the guy who portrays the Phillie Phanatic and sad sap wannabe libertarian "hate the owners/corporation" hosts, without knowing the actual story, went on this "oh come on, he shouldn't lose his job because of some emails" mini-rant about it.

Same rant even applies when people complain that actions are taken too far against faxes/calls/emails/tweets/messages/whatever against commentators on radio/TV/print/whatever that they strongly dislike, without realizing that lines are probably crossed and there is probably more to the story than an "evil media outlet/company" "silencing critics."

One of his e-mail addresses was piazza@fan.com. Maybe he's our erstwhile wrestling fan.

Sounds more like the piazza4prez, the poor old MOFo poster that would threaten to use his beloved fully loaded Sivlerado to run over posters who disagreed with him, before having his self image surgically destroyed by marathon. That guy lived in upstate NY, though. This poor fellow is a Nutmegger.

If this is him, it would seem the guy likes seventies and eighties TV:

They should probably lock him away nice and tight-- you never know when somebody like that is going to break out explosively.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

I never followed that guy, but unfollowed plenty who spent as much time ragging on him as he did trolling.

Seems right out of Mom's basement central casting.

Me neither. I largely ignore most of #MetsTwitter because it's mostly trolling, it seems. I follow the writers and I follow all y'all, but not a whole lot more than that. I was thisclose to unfollowing Mets Police the other day, but there's good stuff in there sometimes.

No one should've told Shannon how good being a crank on the internet is for page hits.

I unfollowed MetsPolice months ago when he was begging for a round number of followers.

[Edgy MD]

Yeah, Twitter's a drug to the attention starved.

Daily News has him threatening Turner's girlfriend, threatening to blow up or poison the clubhouse, and encouraging other fans to assault Terry and Sandy (and waving a cape for other crazies was probably his most credible threat). That his whole act and self-identity was filmed with dated TV show and Friday the 13th references just kills me.

[MFS62]

The only comforting thing about that report is that they gave us the full name and address of that cretin so we can avoid him.

Creep threatened to skin Mets manager, GM alive

A creepy baseball fan obsessed with horror movies was arrested on Wednesday after he allegedly threatened Mets players � and plotted to slash a team manager in a �Friday the 13th�-style attack. Aryn Leroux, 42, of West Haven took to Twitter for a violent tirade against Mets reliever LaTroy Hawkins and the team�s GM Sandy Alderson and manager Terry Collins � who he threatened to skin alive, according to law enforcement sources and his own Twitter page. �Tomorrow is Friday the 13th� lets get a gang of us to wear Jason Vorhees masks to Citi-Field and go skin us a GM-Owner-Manager,� Leroux Tweeted on Sept 12. �Think of it� it would be the lead story on CNN�. #mets fans kill the team owner-gm-manager. before they kill us #selfdefense,� he proclaimed before taking it one disturbing step further. �What are some good ways to dispose of Wilpon-Alderson-Collins, any ideas? �there will be a blood bath at Citi-Field tomorrow night,� he tweeted. The horror movie buff also hatched an elaborate plan to sneak into the team clubhouse and hide bombs in every player�s cleats, a team source told The Post. Modal Trigger Jason from �Friday the 13th�Photo: New Line Cinema NYPD officers and West Haven police arrested Leroux in Connecticut and charged him with misdemeanor threatening and breach of peace, law enforcement sources said. Leroux also threatened to blow up Citi Field and has repeatedly harassed fans and players, earning a reputation as a much-loathed Twitter troll, sources said. Hawkins called him a real threat to the team. �The guy is a bad person. On Twitter he made some threats that can�t be tolerated in this day and age, � he told the Post. The horror movie buff also harassed utility infielder Justin Turner, sources said. Law enforcement sources declined to give specifics about the ways in which he had threatened players. Leroux uses the handle @danxtanna � but his account was pulled down on Wednesday afternoon. His Twitter bio describes him as a �Mets-Cowboys-Celtics-Rangers-Uconn� fan and �Horror Movie Buff.� The Queens District Attorney�s office helped identify Leroux�s Twitter account, which was registered under his father�s name, law enforcement sources said. Leroux posted $2,500 bail and is awaiting arraignment in Milford. Hawkins, who is active on social media, recently tweeted about Leroux, urging Twitter users to block him. �Let�s block and report as spam and shut him up for awhile @danxtanna he want to do bodily harm on our team.� The arrest comes one day after Giants running back Brandon Jacobs revealed on Twitter that he had received a death threat.

[Frayed Knot]

Yeah, did you see/read about the backtracking that guy who Twitter-threatened Jacobs was doing?
As soon as he got outed, his anger over losing fantasy points was suddenly replaced by an even worse pain: the one where his hero publicly trashes over social media.

[Guest d'Kong76]

He just tweeted that he's gonna hunt Jeets down for calling
him a twat ... watch your back, bro ...

[Edgy MD]

I love how the photo collage is laid out to look like Terry and Sandy are holding a joint press conference about this poor guy.



Hang in there, Aryn. It totally gets better.

Just checked out Old Hoss Radbourn's twitter performance from last night. HoF stuff.
