Teen arrested after threatening to kill gay people with machete at Pride event

Police arrested a teenager after he threatened to go into a British pub with a machete and kill gay people at a Pride event.

The teenager, who cannot be named, posted a photo of the machete he bought for £19.99 ($25.40 €22.70), as well as his intentions to use it at the New Empire pub in Barrow in Furness, Cumbria on Friday night (23 June)

He wrote: ‘I’m going to walk in with a fucking machete and slaughter every single one of the gay bastards.

‘I’ve had enough,’ he continued. ‘I don’t want to live in a gay world and I sure as hell don’t want my children living in one. What happened to our traditional qualities? They’re fucking ruined.

‘I don’t care if I die, I’m fighting for what I believe in and that is the future of my country, my folk and my race,’ he wrote.
