An 18-year-old man who allegedly fantasized on a popular message board about killing civilians and federal agents told the FBI the posts were “only a joke” when they arrested him last week, according to court documents unsealed Monday.
Yeah, this is just as bad as liberals arguing for the Green New Deal or Medicare for All, as I’m sure we’ll soon hear from the media.
The fact that there are thousands of people following this obscure message board should be eye opening, because there’s a lot more people on other boards saying crap like this, and who knows how many of them have that kind of weapons stash? Just imagine if 1% of the people who are looking at this stuff decide to drag out their guns if Trump loses in 2020…it won’t start a revolution, but it will lead to a lot of shootings at Walmarts all across the nation.
It is macabre and NOT a JOKE when one fantasizes about killing civilians and federal agents especially if this #TrumpTerrorist-wanna-be has more than two dozen guns and 10,000 rounds of ammunition at home he was sharing with his father!
What’s next, spell Trump’s name in uppercase or initials this time & post it on line to differentiate him from other mass shooters?
A few days later, another post still visible Tuesday read: “Bombing Planned Parenthood is noble, as is the killing of abortionists. Women who get abortions should receive the death penalty.”
The prosecutors are going to have a hard time making a case of threatening a federal LEO. "In conclusion, shoot every federal agent on sight” is hyperbole, not a call to violence that places anyone under risk of bodily harm or death. It’s vile, but it’s protected speech.
No, no…not a pun…What’s that thing that spells the same backwards as forwards?
I know you beat me to it, but what a terrific reference. I really need a good laugh these days and you provided one. This pencil-necked geek did not.
After a search of Olsen’s father’s Boardman, Ohio house, where Olsen was living, investigators allegedly found “rifle cases, approximately 10,000 rounds of ammunition, camouflage clothing, and camouflaged backpacks,” as well as a gun vault. The gun cases and ammo were found throughout the house.
What in the name of all that’s holy is wrong with these people?
