“When Online Rants Go Nuclear: Dayton Man Arrested Over 30K Kill Threat”

Shocking Scoop:

FBI Nabs Dayton Man Who Threatened to “Cleanse” Cincinnati of 30K People 😱🔥

Who’s the villain? Scott Michael Hanna, 30, of Dayton, allegedly posted on X on July 31, 2025, declaring he’d “organize mobs” to kill 30,000 people by Sunday in Cincinnati—using racist language and calling Black people “apes.” He vowed to “paint the town red.”

How did they catch him? Cincinnati PD flagged the post to the FBI’s Joint Terrorism Task Force, who then traced it back to Hanna. He was arrested August 1, 2025, on federal charges for interstate communication with intent to injure. The offense carries up to five years in prison.

Not his first brush with violence. In September 2024, Hanna reportedly threatened to decapitate someone, swung a full‑sized sword at their neck, causing serious injury—or worse—and hurled racial slurs at responding officers. Local police are very familiar with him.

What’s next? His detention hearing is scheduled for Thursday, August 7, 2025, in Dayton. He’s now facing federal prosecution from the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Ohio.
