: COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — An Ohio man has been indicted on charges that he threatened to blow up the U.S. Supreme Court and attack black men, including a justice on the court, according to an indictment filed Wednesday.
David Tuason, 46, targeted black men known to affiliate with white women, well-known white women who had relationships with black men, and children of mixed-race parents, federal authorities said.
Supreme Court spokeswoman Kathy Arberg confirmed that a threat was made against Clarence Thomas but refused further comment. Thomas is the only black justice on the court.
FBI spokesman Scott Wilson declined to name those targeted, citing privacy issues. He would not specify whether Tuason attempted to carry out attacks. The threats began in Cleveland and branched out across the nation, Wilson said.
Wilson said Tuason sent the communications as far back as 20 years and that the threats were sent to places where the targets worked or may have attended functions.
"It's been a very long, enduring case," Wilson said. "Basically it's a case we never gave up on."
An message seeking comment was left after-hours Wednesday at the Cleveland office of Federal Public Defender Dennis Terez, who authorities say is representing Tuason.
According to the indictment, Tuason sent a letter to the Supreme Court building in July 2003 in which he threatened to blow it up. The letter was addressed to an associate justice of the court referred to as "CT."
Tuason claimed "CT" would be "castrated, shot or set on fire...I want him killed."
The letter contained several racially charged remarks.
The indictment says letters were also sent to several Ohio sites, including the Kent State University women's basketball team, several Ohio high schools and the Severance Hall home of the Cleveland Orchestra.
The earliest letter was sent to a high school track team in Mentor in May 2003, according to the document. The most recent threat, to a high school football team in Strongsville, was mailed March 3, according to the indictment.
Investigators said Tuason also sent threatening e-mails to office personnel at Jordache Enterprises.
The threats he's accused of are mostly alike, promising physical violence against black men associated with white women.
Tuason, of Pepper Pike, Ohio, was indicted on two counts of transmitting threatening interstate communications and six counts of mailing threatening communications.
The indictment was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Ohio in Cleveland.
Tuason is in the custody of U.S. Marshals. Each interstate communication charge carries a penalty of up to 10 year in prison and each mail charge carries a penalty of up to five years.
"As far as we know, it's a one-man operation," Wilson said.
I wonder if that sellout TIGER WOODS was on that list. He should've been the main one on it instead of Clarence Thomas. I'll betcha that wouldn't be a "NONE ISSUE". I heard that Tiger has a couple of dating website albums. I don't know how true that is. One is called Millionairecupid.com & the other one is called Mixedfriends.com. Maybe someone that is reading this headline has proof or can confirm or deny the rumor.
RUN, REGGIE, RUNNNNN!!!
Lol, this is crazy. Someone give dude a hug. But didn't he say he was going after ALL Black men in interracial relationships, not just celebrities? That's a lot of hate right there...
To be honest, he sounds like some of the ladies here on MTO (and outside too). ...Only he's more serious about his words. :/
WAIT YA'LL.....LET'S HAVE A MOMENT OF SILENCE AN PRAY 4 DA MAN....DAT'S ALL I CAN SAY...HE NEED CHURCH 4REAL.

That s/*** Balckness is the real sellout. Who said that black folks who happen to date outside their race actually turned ther backs on their own race?Dont get me wrong, some of em do, but you Blackness has turned your back on them just because of who they date. You sound like the sellout to me and a hater.
That means the following people need to run and hide:

Lots of good comments here....Much respect to ***, Desafinado, curtaincall.
It just shows how deep ignorance and hatred run that someone would take a life just because of a person's choice.
Its just stupid....Dating outside ones race doesnt make a sellout. Not taking the time to be involved in bettering your community, or tearing down your community, does. People who blow this issue up are just superficial.
This is so sad to be happening in the 21st century...are you really that insecure that you would blame a whole race of men for staeling your women? How about your just a crazy, lonely loser who cant get a date...how bout that.
Every once in awhile my family gets the looks, from both races! one *** at dinner , it was happening and this old lady came to our table and says....You have a family!! I was so happy that she did!! :-)
White men act like they own white women. They have to be some miserable souls trying to control people they they've never met, and don't care what they want!
They call us the "angry black man" and they're the ones that hate us for no good reason. That displays anger to me! I'LL even go as far as to say insanity. It's logically impossible to hate and want to kill someone over the color of their skin, and be considered normal. GET OVER IT WHITE BOYS, IT'S OVER!!
I am not ignorant MZLDY. I don't have anything against black men dating / marrying white women. I am just getting tired of seeing it. Everywhere you turn there's a black man & a white woman together. All I'm saying is just give us a chance that's all. No, there's nothing wrong w / interracial dating or marrying. Nothing at all. I'm just sooooo sick of it. I know who I am MZLDY, and I am not ignorant by any means.
NOBODY EVER TOLD HIM THAT THE FIRST MAN ON EARTH WAS COMING FROM CENTRAL AFRICA, THEN MOVED HIS WAY TO EUROPE, ASIA, ETC,...
HALF OF THE WORLD ITS *** MIXED. THAT MAN HAS ISSUE, HE'S KIND OF A HITLER OF THE 21ST CENTURY. hITLER HAD A THING AGAINST JEWS AND HIS OWN MOTHER HAD JEWS HERITAGE. MAYBE HE JST DISCOVERD THAT HIS ROOTS ARE *** MIX TOO
I don't think all interracial dating is bad. I've actually gone on a date with a white guy myself. However, I have a problem with black men (and women) making generalizations about a particular race.
I hate when black men just write off all black women as if we're bad. I am college educated, financially independent and conservative. If a black man or woman happens to fall in love with someone outside of their race, that's all good.....just don't be superficial and turn your back on your own race. That's a true sellout for ya!
hate to say it but i dont blame these celebs or average joes for dating white women black women are f_ _ _ _ _ _ nuts,im black and my lady is black and god knows i have tried and it doesnt matter if there college grads or not cause my lady has a masters,doesnt matter if there independent,cause they love to say that a lot, black women are damaged goods,and a lot of stereotypes about black women are true,and its not about black men not being able to handle a strong black women,cause all black women are not strong,i just think white women are a little bit calmer and not so flip mouthed and disrespectful like black women,and i also believe that a lot of these celebs were spit on by black women growing up thats why they date white chicks i know cause i had a friend that got *** on by black chicks and he was good dude but this is just my thoughts.
Truth is...
This wannabe MAn is from the Cleveland, Ohio area. Pepper Pike to be exact, not too too far from the Levert's in Newberry Twp. ---and you've gotta have a lil, just a lil paper to live here.
AND HE AINT WHITE... He's like a Filipino/ asian mix looking Superfly Jimmy Snucka type dude! (yes, I said it!!!) with a haircut. I'll never know what his problem was. Dayum, he aint white nor Black so ---what the...?
He gonna be wishing that he was black and muslim when the [EXPLETIVE] start runnin that choo choo on him in the Federal Pen.
LMAO
I have no problem with black men and women who mwant to date outside their race. What makes no sense to me is how "Uncle Tom" *** black men who after dating white women for a while bad mouth black women. HELLO!! Reality should hit you when you look in the mirror and realize 2 things: 1. YOU ARE STILL BLACK NO MATTER HOW MANY WHITE WOMEN YOU *** and 2. HOW CAN YOU GENERALIZE ALL BLACK WHEN YOU CAME FROM ONE?
I personally will give any man a chance as long as he is good to me. No matter what race he is. But I LOVE black men. Dark skin and sexy smile gets me all the time....
This guy the MTO is talkin about needs help!
