Deranged Christian camp counselor 'threatened Columbine 2.0' against innocent kids for 'p***ing him off'
A sadistic counselor allegedly threatened the mass murder of children if they were to 'p**s him off' during a summer camp.
Mario Bernal, 23, is accused of telling kids he would 'create the next Columbine shooting' at Christian Camp Cho-Yeh in Livingston, Texas.
He allegedly repeated his threats when horrified camp officials planned to fire him, vowing he would 'clock himself out' and 'not go down by himself'.
Bernal again threatened to turn the camp into a repeat of the infamous massacre if the camp 'came at him legally', an arrest affidavit alleged.
He was already facing dismissal for locking a group of children in a sweltering hot room as 'discipline' and refusing to let the leave.
Two teenage gunmen murdered 12 students and one teacher at Columbine High School in Colorado on April 20, 1999, and wounded 20 others.
Columbine is the most notorious school shooting in US history and national trauma that led to increased campus security and renewed gun control efforts.
Bernal, from Vernal, Utah, was arrested by Livingston Police and handed over to the Polk County Sheriff's Office, which was investigating him.
Police pulled him over near the camp entrance after witnesses told them he was planning to flee to Houston with his girlfriend, who also worked for Camp Cho-Yeh.
He was charged with making terroristic threats impeding public service and held at the Polk County Jail on a $50,000 bond.
Bernal was already facing sex crime charges for allegedly forcibly kissing and touching a women in a car despite repeatedly being told to stop.
The case was filed on May 8 after the incident in March.

Trump's ICE raids on farms risk U.S. food supply, economists warn
Recent raids carried out by agents from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement in California 's agricultural heartland are causing a widespread exodus of workers, threatening the harvest of billions of dollars worth of produce. Farmers say the raids earlier this month, as part of President Donald Trump 's migration crackdown, have frightened off workers and left fields in Ventura County and beyond critically understaffed. Ventura County produces billions of dollars worth of fruit and vegetables each year, much of it hand-picked by immigrants in the U.S. illegally. Lisa Tate, a sixth-generation farmer in the area, has observed the immediate and chilling effect of the ICE operations. "In the fields, I would say 70 percent of the workers are gone," she said. "If 70 percent of your workforce doesn't show up, 70 percent of your crop doesn't get picked and can go bad in one day. Most Americans don't want to do this work. Most farmers here are barely breaking even. I fear this has created a tipping point where many will go bust." The agricultural lands north of Los Angeles, stretching from Ventura County into the state's central valley, two farmers, two field supervisors and four immigrant farmworkers told Reuters this month that the ICE raids have led a majority of workers to stop showing up. That means crops are not being picked and fruit and vegetables are rotting at peak harvest time, they said. One Mexican farm supervisor, who asked not to be named, was overseeing a field being prepared for planting strawberries last week. Usually, he would have 300 workers, he said. On this day, he had just 80. Another supervisor at a different farm said he usually has 80 workers in a field, but today just 17. Bad for business Most economists and politicians acknowledge that many of America's agricultural workers are in the country illegally, but say a sharp reduction in their numbers could have devastating impacts on the food supply chain and farm-belt economies. Douglas Holtz-Eakin, a Republican and former director of the Congressional Budget Office, said an estimated 80 percent of farmworkers in the U.S. were foreign-born, with nearly half of them in the country illegally. Losing them will cause price hikes for consumers, he said. "This is bad for supply chains, bad for the agricultural industry," Holtz-Eakin said. Over a third of U.S. vegetables and over three-quarters of the country's fruits and nuts are grown in California, according to the California Department of Food and Agriculture. The state's farms and ranches generated nearly $60 billion in agricultural sales in 2023. Of the four immigrant farmworkers Reuters spoke to, two are in the country illegally. These two spoke on the condition of anonymity, out of fear of being arrested by ICE. One, aged 54, has worked in U.S. agricultural fields for 30 years and has a wife and children in the country. He said most of his colleagues have stopped showing up for work. "If they show up to work, they don't know if they will ever see their family again," he said. The other worker in the country illegally said, "Basically, we wake up in the morning scared. We worry about the sun, the heat, and now a much bigger problem - many not returning home. I try not to get into trouble on the street. Now, whoever gets arrested for any reason gets deported." To be sure, some farmworker community groups said many workers were still returning to the fields, despite the raids, out of economic necessity. The days following a raid may see decreased attendance in the field, but the workers soon return because they have no other sources of income, five groups told Reuters. Workers are also taking other steps to reduce their exposure to immigration agents, like carpooling with people with legal status to work or sending U.S. citizen children to the grocery store, the groups said. Trump conceded in a post on his Truth Social account this month that ICE raids on farm workers - and also hotel workers - were "taking very good, long-time workers away" from those sectors, "with those jobs being almost impossible to replace." Trump later told reporters, "Our farmers are being hurt badly. They have very good workers." He added, "They're not citizens, but they've turned out to be great." He pledged to issue an order to address the impact, but no policy change has yet been enacted. Trump has always stood up for farmers, said White House spokeswoman Anna Kelly in response to a request for comment on the impact of the ICE raids on farms. "He will continue to strengthen our agricultural industry and boost exports while keeping his promise to enforce our immigration laws," she said. Bernard Yaros, Lead U.S. Economist at Oxford Economics, a nonpartisan global economics advisory firm, said in a report published on June 26 that native-born workers tend not to fill the void left by immigrant workers who have left. "Unauthorized immigrants tend to work in different occupations than those who are native-born," he said. ICE operations in California's farmland were scaring even those who are authorized, said Greg Tesch, who runs a farm in central California. "Nobody feels safe when they hear the word ICE, even the documented people. We know that the neighborhood is full of a combination of those with and without documents," Tesch said. "If things are ripe, such as our neighbors have bell peppers here, (if) they don't harvest within two or three days, the crop is sunburned or over mature," said Tesch. "We need the labor."

Throwing their bodies on the gears: the Democratic lawmakers showing up to resist Trump
A flock of Ice agents, some masked, some sporting military-operator fashion for show, smooshed New York City comptroller Brad Lander up against a wall and handcuffed him in the hallway of a federal courthouse in early June, shuffling the mild-mannered politician into an elevator like the Sandman hustling an act off the stage 10 miles north at Harlem's Apollo Theater. Like at the Apollo, Lander's arrest was a show. News reporters and cellphone camera-wielding bystanders crowded the hall to watch the burly federal officers rumple a 55-year-old auditor asking for a warrant. 'I'm not obstructing. I'm standing here in this hallway asking for a judicial warrant,' Lander said. 'You don't have the authority to arrest US citizens.' 'This is an urgent moment for the rule of law in the United States of America and it is important to step up,' Lander told the Guardian after the arrest. 'And I think the dividing line for Democrats right now is not between progressives and moderates. It's between fighters and folders. We have to find nonviolent but insistent ways of standing up for democracy and the rule of law.' The act of showing up is resonating with voters who have seen the limits of social media activism. Be it the senator Cory Booker's speech in April or the arrest of lawmakers trying to inspect an Ice detention facility, the images of administration opponents physically interposing themselves as a disruption hearken back to an earlier era in American politics, of sit-ins and full jails, where opponents meant to grind the apparatus of government to a halt as a means of resistance. 'There's a time when the operation of the machine becomes so odious, makes you so sick at heart, that you can't take part,' Mario Savio, a student leader in the free speech movement, a campaign of civil disobedience against restrictive policies on student political activity, said 60 years ago during a campus protest. 'You can't even passively take part. And you've got to put your bodies upon the gears and upon the wheels, upon the levers, upon all the apparatus, and you've got to make it stop.' That can look like Booker's 25-hour record-breaking stand at the dais from 31 March through 1 April this year, presenting a litany of protest against the actions of the first 71 days of the Trump administration in the longest speech in Senate history. Technically, it was not a filibuster, unlike previous record-holder South Carolina senator Strom Thurmond's speech delaying passage of the Civil Rights Act in 1957. As an act of political protest, it required presence. The rules of a Senate floor speech are exacting. No sitting. No breaks. Continuous, corporeal effort. As the spectacle grew, Booker acknowledged that Democratic voters had been demanding more of their leaders. 'I confess that I have been imperfect,' Booker said. 'I confess that I've been inadequate to the moment. I confess that the Democratic party has made terrible mistakes that gave a lane to this demagogue. I confess we all must look in the mirror and say: 'We will do better.'' Activists had been in the street from the day of Trump's inauguration. But Booker's speech was a demarcation point after which Democratic leaders started confronting the right more directly. It also marked them being confronted in return. Hannah Dugan, a Wisconsin judge, allowed a man to leave through the back doors of her courtroom, allegedly in response to the presence of immigration officers waiting to arrest him. FBI agents subsequently arrested Dugan in her Milwaukee courtroom on 25 April, charging her with obstruction. FBI director Kash Patel posted comments about her arrest on X almost immediately, and eventually posted a photograph of her arrest, handcuffed and walking toward a police cruiser, with the comment: 'No one is above the law.' Digitally altered photographs of Dugan appearing to be in tears in a mugshot proliferated on social media. Trump himself reposted an image from the Libs of TikTok website of Dugan wearing a Covid-19 mask on the day of her arrest. Three days later, Trump issued an executive order to create 'a mechanism to provide legal resources and indemnification', including 'private-sector pro bono assistance', for cops it describes as 'unjustly incur[ring] expenses and liabilities for actions taken during the performance of their official duties to enforce the law'. The order also seeks 'enhanced sentences for crimes against law enforcement officers', and calls for federal prosecution of state or local officials whom the administration says obstruct law enforcement. Taken together, the order sent a clear signal to federal police agencies to take the gloves off – that accusations of misconduct would be defended against and that placing the bodies of public officials into handcuffs and squad cars was fair game. Three days after that, Trump's border czar Tom Homan suggested more arrests were on the way. 'Wait till you see what's coming,' he said in response to a question about future arrests of officials. But the warnings have not stopped Democrats from showing up at Ice detention centers and other demonstrations. Four more elected or appointed Democratic officials and one Democratic senator's staffer have been detained, arrested or charged by federal agents since Trump's executive order. Each of the arrests has become a media spectacle. Ras Baraka, the mayor of Newark, New Jersey, visited Delaney Hall, a privately owned Ice detention facility he accuses of violating safety protocols, on 9 May. He was with three members of Congress at the time, who have the explicit right by law to inspect Ice facilities. Video captured by body-worn cameras shows a tangle of bodies as Ice agents arrest him, with beefy federal officers bending him over in handcuffs as they walk him through an outraged crowd. Amid the scrum is the freshman representative LaMonica McIver in her red coat, who stands out in videos as she walks through the gate. She appears to bump a masked law enforcement officer as she's caught in the chaotic scene. Her intentions are far from clear, and witness video from other angles contradicts the government's claim that members of Congress stormed the facility. Ten days later, the acting US attorney, Alina Habba, charged McIver with forcibly impeding and interfering with federal officers, even after dropping similar charges against Baraka. For the administration and its supporters, the high-visibility arrests play out as payback for what they see as the politically motivated prosecution of Trump and of January 6 rioters. The Republican representative Nancy Mace of South Carolina filed a House resolution to expel McIver. Baraka's arrest and McIver's charge became fodder for conservative media. But it also galvanized Newark. Protesters filled the streets awaiting Baraka's release. 'History will judge us in this moral moment,' he told the crowd. 'These people are wrong. And it's moments like this that will judge us all – as cowards or, you know, as heroes.' Three weeks later, a staffer for the representative Jerry Nadler – whose name has not been released – allegedly impeded homeland security agents searching for 'rioters' at a protest about immigration enforcement abuses. The agents handcuffed and detained her. Video circulated widely on social media and cable television. On 8 June, as protesters flooded downtown Los Angeles intent on gumming up the streets around the Metropolitan Detention Center, the Democratic representative Jimmy Gomez of California posted a video on Instagram describing how chemical irritants had been deployed around the detention building. 'They're spraying something to try to get us to leave,' he said. 'This is just to prevent us from doing our jobs.' Homeland security briefly released guidance last week asking members of Congress to give Ice facilities 72 hours of prior notice before visiting a facility. The demand conflicts with federal law allowing members of Congress immediate access for inspections. The guidance is no longer posted on the DHS website. The Democratic senator Alex Padilla of California attempted to confront the homeland security secretary, Kristi Noem, about protests in Los Angeles on 12 June. Before he could get a word in, when he approached to ask a question, Secret Service and FBI agents dragged Padilla out of the room and handcuffed him. DHS falsely claimed that Padilla had failed to identify himself, releasing a statement describing Padilla's inquiry as 'disrespectful political theatre'. 'The only political theater happening in Los Angeles is Trump using thousands of troops in Los Angeles as political props in response to overwhelmingly peaceful protests,' Padilla said in response. It has only been half a year that Trump has been president, but Democrats and other critics are finding that it's the balance of civil rights tactics with 2025 TikTok-era virality that is cutting through the noise. Paired with some of the biggest protests in American history, it seems they are only getting started. 'Authoritarians are looking to stoke fear and conflict and send a signal [that] if they are going to do this to elected officials – if they're going to do it to white male US citizens with passports or elected officials, I think their goal is to make everyone afraid,' Lander said. 'There is a pattern here, you know, from Senator Padilla to Ras Baraka to me, and an on-the-record statement from the attorney general about … trying to quote-unquote 'liberate' cities from their elected officials,' he added. 'So, I take them at their word.'
