Brian Maiorana, a Staten Island man and sex offender, was arrested Tuesday after posting explosive social media posts that allegedly threatened to kill celebrants of Joe Biden’s presidential win, derided Sen. Chuck Schumer as “the Jew Senator from New York” — and called for the “extermination” of Democrats, federal prosecutors announced.
Maiorana has a history of violent social media posts, has been charged in Brooklyn federal court w/making online threats to “blow up” an FBI building and harm “the Jew Senator from New York”–an apparent reference to Chuck Schumer.
Authorities found a Glock, a taser, a crossbow, an expandable baton and a skull mask in his home during the arrest. Also a book called “The Anti-Govt Movement Guidebook.”

The 1978 book, “The Turner Diaries,” has been cited by white supremacists, including Oklahoma City bomber Timothy McVeigh. In the novel, a revolution in the United States “leads to the overthrow of the federal government, a nuclear war, and, ultimately, a race war which leads to the systematic extermination of non-whites,” the feds said.
When Biden was declared the winner of the presidential election Saturday, Maiorana ranted about the celebration, feds alleged.
“All right thinking people need to hit the streets while these scumbags are celebrating and start blowing them away,” he posted, according to the feds.
Maiorana was convicted in Pennsylvania in 2007 of statutory sexual assault and is registered as a level 1 sex offender in New York state, the feds said.
New York has been increasingly tense with a NYPD Deputy Inspector suspended and another officer suspended for campaigning while on duty.
