News summary

Gabriel 'Gabe' Whitley, a former congressional candidate in Indiana, was arrested on felony charges related to online threats made against political commentator Abdul-Hakim Shabazz. The allegations include stalking, with Whitley reportedly encouraging violence through social media posts, including a statement to 'shoot him like a pig.' Shabazz, who expressed concerns for his safety and that of his family, was serving an FBI search warrant at Whitley's home when the threats escalated. Court documents detail Whitley's public sharing of Shabazz's address and personal vehicle, as well as a graphic image connected to a recent assassination attempt on former President Trump, with a chilling comment indicating a threat to Shabazz. Investigators confirmed Whitley's ownership of the social media account linked to the threats, and the case is set for a hearing on October 10. The situation has raised significant alarm regarding political harassment and safety concerns for public figures.
