Tony Perrin, 27, was arrested near his London home after he posted his threats with a photo of himself wearing a balaclava and pointing a gun at the camera.
Perrin, who expressed strong support to the English Defence League (EDL), wrote on May 22 this year, just after the Woolwich execution: ‘I will do a lot worse than what took place yesterday and I have like minded people behind me’.
In the post, Perrin encouraged his ‘fellow countrymen’ and his ‘beloved EDL’ to follow his lead.

Jailing Perrin for four months Judge Clark said the aggravating factors were his ‘glorification of firearms’ and the incitement of ‘revenge attacks’.
Perrin admitted that the handgun was only a BB gun and that he was drunk when he made the offensive post but the damage had been done as the post went around the web.
He admitted posting a message that was grossly offensive or of an indecent, obscene or menacing character contrary to the Communications Act 2003.
His previous convictions include possession of an imitation firearm with intent to commit an indictable offence, dishonesty and attempted robbery.
EDL News was the first to uncover Tony and wrote an article on him on the 23rd of May as well as reporting him to the Met Police’s Counter Terrorism Unit.
