Las Vegas Man Accused of Death Threats to Lawyers Suing Fox News -<br />By JAMES C. McKINLEY Jr. JUNE 9, 2017<br />A computer repairman from Las Vegas was charged on Friday in Manhattan with threatening to kill New York lawyers who<br />have filed an anti-discrimination suit on behalf of 11 black employees at Fox News, the police and prosecutors said.<br />The calls started shortly after the lawyers, Douglas H. Wigdor and Jeanne M. Christensen, appeared with the plaintiffs in a televised news conference announcing a class-action tort, alleging<br />that Fox News executives tolerated “abhorrent, intolerable, unlawful and hostile racial discrimination” in the workplace.<br />He threatened to blow up the firm’s Fifth Avenue office<br />and to shoot its partners for pursuing the suit against Fox News, lacing his comments with derogatory comments about blacks, Lt. Paul Ng, a spokesman for the New York Police Department, said.
