Texas Man Convicted of Making Threats to Kill Nashville D.A. Facing Up to Five Years in Prison

Posted on May 7, 2025

FBI Latest Hate Crime Report: Hate Crimes Down Slightly in AmericaDavid Aaron Bloyed, 60, of Frost, Texas, was found guilty Wednesday by a federal jury of one count of communicating a threat in interstate commerce to lynch and kill Glenn Funk, the elected District Attorney General for Nashville and Davidson County, Tennessee, federal prosecutors stated.

“Antisemitic hate has no place in Nashville or anywhere, and this verdict shows these hateful threats for what they are: a crime,” said Acting U.S. Attorney Robert E. McGuire for the Middle District of Tennessee. “Our office will do whatever it takes to defend our community, and the prosecutors who serve it, from being threatened by these hatemongers.”

On July 14, 2024, members of the antisemitic hate group Goyim Defense League (GDL) staged a “Name the Nose Tour” protest in downtown Nashville, parading with Nazi flags and shouting slurs near synagogues and public spaces. During the protest, a GDL member assaulted a local bar employee with a metal flagpole topped with a swastika and was arrested for aggravated assault, officials stated.

After the arrest, GDL members continued posting on social media, including Telegram. One post targeting District Attorney Glenn Funk included his photo with the caption “Getting the rope” and an emoji pointing at him—an apparent death threat.

Officials stated that law enforcement subsequently identified another social media account with an almost identical username, belonging to Bloyed, and containing threats nearly identical to those posted on the Telegram account.

At sentencing, Bloyed faces up to five years in federal prison.

The FBI Nashville Field Office and the Metropolitan Nashville Police Department are investigating the case.
