An exotic dancer in Florida was arrested Wednesday after writing about her "urges" to undertake a mass shooting in a crowded area, police said.
Brein Basarich, 31, who worked at the Showgirls Men’s Club in Plant City, admitted to posting the threats on her Tumblr account under the username “taking-lives,” Lakeland police said.
She wrote about her “vision” of using an assault rifle to fire into a crowded bar or club that only had one entrance, thus preventing people from escaping, Bay News 9 reported.
“I had a vision... of a very public place, only one way in and one way out,” Basarich wrote, according to the Bradenton Herald. “Preferably a bar/club on a busy night. 2019 has a lot in store if my plans go according!”
Basarich described herself to police officers as a true-crime lover and a “great admirer of serial killers and mass murderers,” according to the station.
“… A lot of us have urges, whether they will admit or not is the question. So yes, I have,” she wrote to another Tumblr user who asked whether she had homicidal urges, according to Action Jax 30.
Basarich was charged with making a written threat to kill or injure. She was taken to Polk County Jail but bonded out Thursday.

last commentWow. I was just in this club a few weeks ago. I didn’t see her. This is very understandable though. Someone probably posted a bad review of her club. Those kind of things justifiably send people into an insane rage. Just ask Ricky Boy.

The only thing that can stop a bad stripper with a gun is a good stripper with a gun.

There have been times when I've been in a club on a very crowded night and thought "You know, if one or a couple of guys started shooting, possibly more people would be trampled to death than shot."
As a rule, I note the exits in any enclosed, crowded environment.

i'm surprised this doesn't happen more based on how many strippers i've met who were obsessed with serial killers and other dark shit like that. i'm glad they actually did something about it before she acted on her "urges". threats like those on social media need to be taken seriously more often. smh

Doctor, could it have been one of your reviews? Let me guess, you peaked through the open front door of the club for 10 seconds and felt that you collected enough infl to call her out by name as a fugly ROB? Yup, sounds like the kinda' thing you would do. ;)

As I said in my post, I didn’t see her. Looks like you didn’t do to well in reading comprehension class. Plus, I gave her club a relatively good review. tuscl.net Unlike that shithole Lollipops where you like to hang out in your three piece suit pretending to be a chemical engineer trying to pick up skanks. tuscl.net

She's not bad looking but she doesn't look very happy in her mugshot.
