A Las Vegas man has been charged with making terrorist threats after he posted a video online in which he promised to take down the government and kill gay people.
KTNV reports:
In the video, a [24-year-old] man named Bryce Cuellar reportedly showed off two rifles and was wearing a military flak vest and night vision goggles.Cuellar reportedly said in the video that he is tired of the government trying to take away his First and Second Amendment rights and says that he cannot wait to use his rifle in the manner in which the founding fathers intended.He also said that he wanted to kill “gays, faggots, lesbians and satanists” and claimed to be a Christian warrior. Cuellar also said that he is tired of America and would begin killing soon.
The video was posted earlier this summer.
According to authorities, Cuellar had also posted about the Orlando shooting on his Facebook.
The video was brought to the attention of Las Vegas police by INTERPOL who were notified about the video by Google on July 2. Google had removed the video by the time police went to investigate but were given a copy of the video to watch for the purpose of their investigation.
Police reportedly recognized Cuellar immediately as they had been monitoring him for the past three years. Authorities say he has become increasingly radicalized over the years.
The video contained enough damning material for police to press charges. Cuellar was indicted on Wednesday of this week.
The Las Vegas Sun reports:
He is to face one felony count each of making threats or conveying false information concerning acts of terrorism, conspiracy to commit a crime, and one misdemeanor of attempting to destroy evidence. […]In an interview, Cuellar told detectives he “screwed up with the video” and that he was angry, and drunk from consuming substantial amounts of beer in a 30-minute span, but that he was not a murderer, the report said. His wife, also booked at the Clark County Detention Center that day, provided little assistance in the investigation.
In addition to this video, Cuellar has also made other hateful videos targeting and attacking gay people. As journalist JJ MacNab points out, these video have helped Cuellar amass over 160,000 subscribers and rack up millions of views–no small feat, as any YouTuber will tell you.
His YouTube videos are very popular in the anti-gov movement. His handle is FisherOfMen w/ 160,000 subscribers.

Many of the videos Cuellar created aggregated news clips from anti-gay “news” sources like the Christian Broadcasting Network and Alex Jones’ InfoWars.
Cuellar titled one video, “Africa OWNS Obama!! ‘Keep Your GAY Talk In America’!! 2016.” The description for that video read, “Africa warns Obama ‘We don’t welcome homosexuality, keep your gay talk in America.’ This is great. God bless Gods people in Africa!! This is great because the libtards can’t use the racist card.”
In another video titled, “CENSORED!! ‘End Of USA’ Illuminati Gay Agenda Destroying America!! 2015″, Cueller uses titled cards to declare that SCOTUS has “illegally passe[d] gay marriage nationwide” and that the “persecution of Christians in the USA” is about to begin. He adds, “Fag ‘rights’ is being used as a trojan horse to persecute those who live for Yahweh/Yeshua.”
The description for the video reads, “Say goodbye to freedom of speech, freedom of religion, and say hello to the persecution of the people of God. Welcome to Satans America where God is cast out, and demons are brought in. Light is exchanged for darkness, evil is good, and good is now evil. America is now a ticking time bomb…..Gods wrath is on the land. Just watch my ‘End of the world as we know it’ video.”
