Merriam-Webster defines “ Threat ” as “an expression of intention to inflict evil, injury, or damage,” and that’s just what the feds accuse Jeremy David Hanson of doing when he allegedly said he would bomb the dictionary’s offices. The 34-year-old Rossmoor, California, man was arrested Wednesday and charged with one count of interstate communication of threats to commit violence. The feds say he sent threatening messages to Merriam-Webster, Inc., the Springfield-based publisher of the best-selling dictionary and popular website, in his alleged fury over the dictionary’s shifts in definitions of gender-related terms. “I am going to shoot and bomb your offices for lying and creating fake definitions in order to pander to the tranny mafia. Boys aren’t girls, and girls aren’t boys,” Hanson allegedly sent to the dictionary’s “Contact Us” page on Oct.8, according to a court affidavit. “The only good Marxist is a dead Marxist. I will assassinate your top editor. You sickening, vile tranny freaks.” The company subsequently shut down their Springfield and New York offices for five business days, according to a court affidavit.
