The threat from Robert Fehring, a 74-year-old retired teacher, said the amount of 'firepower' at the parade would 'make the 2016 Orlando Pulse Nightclub shooting look like a cakewalk,' referring to the 2016 shooting that killed nearly 50 people and wounded dozens more, according to the Department of Justice. A New York man pleaded guilty Wednesday in federal court to mailing more than 20 letters containing threats to shoot, bomb and otherwise attack LGBTQ organizations and businesses in the area for several years, including a threat to plant bombs at the 2021 New York City Pride Parade.
