The FBI arrested 51-year-old Francis Frederick Goltz in Lubbock after discovering his charming little hobby of spewing violent threats online. Court documents say Goltz, a Canadian living in the U.S. as a permanent resident, went full mask-off on far-right forums, calling for a “real holocaust” and fantasizing about throwing Jewish politicians “in an oven.”
Goltz’s posts weren’t just vile rants—they included doxxing election officials, threatening their kids, and encouraging mass shootings of poll workers. When another extremist tried to draw the line at children, Goltz doubled down, saying dead kids make a better political point than dead adults.
Authorities traced his accounts—“FreeSpeechMaster” and the not-at-all subtle “ShootThePope”—back to him. He’s now being held at the Lubbock County Detention Center on federal charges of interstate threatening communications.
From “keyboard warrior” to “federal inmate” in one easy step. Funny how the First Amendment always seems to stop short of fantasizing about ovens.
