Fwafefewawe Gawefawef arrested April 2018. Death threat guy!

Last edited Sat Jan 26, 2019, 03:05 PM - Edit history (1)

I did a search last night of a couple bits of his screed to see if he'd been active elsewhere, having noticed him absent from DU. I found this. He pled guilty and is due to be sentenced next week. For those who were fortunate enough to not run afoul of him, I envy you. He was a pain in the on DU for nearly 10 yrs, repeatedly signing up to post his screeds in replies and by pm.

I guess anonymous forums grew boring so he started targeting congress people.

A California man has been arrested after allegedly using social media to threaten a Virginia Congressman.


Tom Garrett Jr. (R-VA5)

Eun Soo Lee, 28, of Cypress, California was arrested April 12 and charged with with one count of making a threatening communication to injure another person through interstate commerce.

Court documents say on May 5, 2017, a Facebook user named “Fwafefewawe Gawefawef,” later identified as Lee, sent threatening messages to United States House of Representatives Member Tom Garrett Jr. (R-VA5).

The threatening messages included but were not limited to:
(Clip screed)
Investigators interviewed Lee on July 13, 2017 in California, where he admitted to sending the messages. He said he sent the threats because he was frustrated with Rep. Garrett’s views. He also admitted to sending similar threats to other elected officials.

According to evidence presented at yesterday’s guilty plea hearing by Assistant United States Attorney Randy Ramseyer, in May of 2017, Lee, using a fake Facebook account and virtual private network to hide his identity, made threats against Congressman Garrett.

searching, using a couple lines from his screeds. Scrolling through the results, there's been nothing since last spring on any forum, then this article showed up which included the full screed.

My spouse came out to see what I was laughing at after I read it. I'm glad he's off the internets for a while.

I wonder if it might be appropriate for DU to put the buzz in Thomas Cullen's ear (the United States Attorney), so they know about DTG's other death threat activities for the sentencing phase. EarlG, please pick up the nearest White Courtesy Telephone.

He sent threatening messages through on and posting directly as a reply. The link in op gives a truncated version
“I would love to kick you hard in the face, breaking it. Then I’d cut your stomach open with a chainsaw, exposing your intestines. Then I’d cut your windpipe in two with a boxcutter. Hopefully you’ll get what’s coming to you. F**cking bitch”

“You’re dead if I ever meet you in real life, fu**cker. I’ll fu**ing kill you.”

“I would love to fu**ing send your fu**ing useless ass to the hospital in intensive care, fighting for your worthless life.”


A selection one month when he was irked at being banned, it was a busy and odd mirt time (I changed my avatar to a ghost for a while):

Sat Jan 26, 2019, 04:40 PM
Jan 2019

with the assumption (cuz IPs kept changing?) that s/he was logging on to public computers, creating new accounts and typing vitriolic/threatening missives both on boards and in pms? I remember typing the text of one of the screeds into google and found he was spamming other (not all related to politics) discussion groups.

Or was the Library Lady reference (old, old reference - maybe 6+ yrs ago) another crank?

She’s annoying, but don’t think she’s ever been threatening.

She’s also signed up and been banned hundreds of times.

I remember references to her, but not her actual posts. I am the opposite with this one (I don't remember specific references, but do remember some of the posts - hence my one-time googling effort that spun up other examples.)

Wasn't sure if they were the same.

Just for one month.

He keeps MIRT pretty busy - and once a particular member of MIRT gets good at catching and repeatedly banning him, he fixates on that person, finds any old post, and starts posting the screed.

I had that pleasure at least once.

I haven't been on MIRT in quite a while, but when I started my last term, the name of the MIRT member that removed the post was part of the removal (that's why he could focus on a particular person). I believe he was the trigger for changing to a generic unsigned message - to prevent his ability to focus on a specific MIRT member.

I am so happy that he's headed to prison. They were disgusting and graphic. I hated seeing anyone on DU as one of his targets.
