A heavily armed ex-con from Rockland County was busted yesterday for threatening to kill Gov. Cuomo, Mayor Bloomberg and a host of other politicians in a rage-filled Facebook post, police said.
“I cannot wait to start killing the scum,” Lawrence Mulqueen, 49, wrote Tuesday on Facebook.
He then named seven Democratic members of Congress, including Sen. Charles Schumer and Reps. Nita Lowey and Louise Slaughter, and warned them: “Your dirt nap is coming very soon.”
Mulqueen also named Sens. Harry Reid, Barbara Boxer and Dianne Feinstein, former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and “every Congressional Black Caucus member there is.”
“I want these scumbags DEAD!!!” he added in the post. “That traitor scum, Obama subserviant eunichs, f--k them and death to them all.”
Mulqueen’s landlady, Fran Pillersdorf, read the posts and decided to call the cops.
“He is creepy, dangerous, obsessive and booze-fueled,” Pillersdorf said. “I’ve been stalking his Facebook page. I felt it got to a point where it was getting too crazy and I said enough.”
Clarkstown police arrested Mulqueen yesterday morning and charged him with making terroristic threats and possessing weapons despite criminal convictions.
The arsenal in the bedroom of his rented apartment in a Nanuet house included two rifles — one of which was loaded with six rounds — and another 94 rounds of rifle ammo, 27 of which contained armor-piercing bullets.
Cops also found a hunting knife, a metal knuckle knife and “various papers relating to guns and ‘sovereign citizen’ propaganda.”
Mulqueen evidently did not possess what he told his Facebook friends was his favorite weapon — an Italian-made Benelli semiautomatic shotgun.
“Use blades when you can to conserve bullets,” he advised his pals. “Always shoot them at 100 yards or more when you can, the further away they are the least you have to worry about.”
Police Commissioner Ray Kelly said that he notified Bloomberg about the arrest, and that the police took the threat “seriously.”
Other law-enforcement sources said Mulqueen hadn’t gotten to the point where he was about to act on his hatreds.
FBI agents “went out and talked to the guy,” said a law enforcement source. “He told the agents, ‘When I posted that stuff on Facebook, I was really drunk. But I knew you’d find me anyway.’ ”
Though Mulqueen is now being held on state charges, his case may be moved to federal court because he threatened members of Congress.
Clarkstown Police Sgt. Glenn Cummings called Mulqueen “a career petty criminal,” and said he’s been arrested previously for felony DWI, harassment and criminal contempt.
Records show Mulqueen served time in an Oklahoma prison.
Pillersdorf said she was frightened by her tenant, who she called “a mediocre self-obsessed loser” who sometimes worked as a carpenter and had lived in her house for a year.
“I was just worried this guy was nuts,” she said.
“When the booze and the hate came together it really creeped me out,” she said. “That was dangerous, especially when you throw a gun in the mix.”Additional reporting by Jeane MacIntosh
