Opinion
U.S.A. – -(Ammoland.com)- A Washington “gun control activist” is facing federal charges after threatening to shoot sheriffs who have publicly pledged not to enforce citizen disarmament edicts. On Friday, Heavy.com posted one of its “Five Fast Facts” on the young, self-identified Marxist who “admitted to FBI and Secret Service investigators that he had every intention of carrying out the violence he talked about on social media.”
There’s no need to reword here what plenty of others have written about the “suspect” or about the I-1639 measure that triggered him. For that reason, I also see no need to name him or post his mug shot. Instead, I’d like to use this space to make some observations I don’t see being widely discussed.
For starters, the guy’s “embrace death” url Facebook page and posts are still up — at this writing — and that’s unusual for a few reasons.
He’s posted real threats of violence, such as “f*****g republican terrorists i am going to kill every single one of them” and “I-1639 is law. sheriffs that are non compliant will be shot. by me.”
With all the “shadowbanning” and suppression against “conservative” voices, that seems more than a bit of a double-standard.
Case in point, I had a Dec. 15 post reminding readers that it was Bill of Rights Day disallowed from sharing because it somehow violated “community standards.”
Don’t get me wrong: I hope this doesn’t somehow trigger Facebook to remove the page (and if they do, I saved a copy of it). Too often the social media company reaction is to close down pages of those involved in crimes—especially if heinous. The problem with that is, it makes readers dependent on official sources and the “mainstream press” for all information, and takes away the ability to gather information on our own. And it’s not exactly like “the authorities” and the DSM have established great reputations for unbiased completeness and accuracy.
Some self control-challenged loser having a meltdown where his anger boils over into threats of violence is not that much of an exception to the rule. We’ve talked in the past about “common sense gun safety advocates” who’ve gone off the deep end and shot people and surmised much of the distrust over you and me being armed is likely projection from people who know they can’t be trusted to restrain their baser impulses.
Another of the guy’s posts, a “Marxist Meme” advocating shooting “the bourgeoisie,” recalls the “solidarity songs” from the (Bernie Sanders-affiliated) Democratic Socialists of America, with such inclusive lyrics as:
“Are you sleeping, Are you sleeping,
Bourgeoisie, Bourgeoisie,
And when the revolution comes,
We’ll kill you all with knives and guns,
Bourgeoisie, Bourgeoisie.”
That makes the sharing on his Facebook page of graphics from the Socialist Rifle Association worth mentioning, especially considering the bipolar contradictions that group admits to in its bylaws:
“Our goal is to provide an alternate to the main stream, toxic, right-wing, and non-inclusive gun … “
Then read “Section Two: Grounds of Denial” if you really want to see what “non-inclusive” looks like. These are the domestic enemies the Founders warned us against.
There’s one other thing about the angry cybercommie that should be of interest: Take a look at all of his Facebook “friends.”
You can bet the Feds who arrested him have just to see if they can find other persons of interest – at least the ones who aren’t already working for them.

I maintain a FB because that is how our church communicates all events and fundraisers for Youth Mission team for which I leader. Other than that, I use it to post tons of 2nd Amendment , Other Constitutional concerns and the Atrocities performed by the Gov and Legislators of the great Socialist State of NJ. I don’t use it for personal postings. For the more critical postings, I have yet to be censored. So for S and Giggles, I clicked on the two links to the FB account postings of this leftist from this article (below in brackets): “He’s posted… Read more »
New Mexico sheriffs in all but 3 counties are refusing to enforce the idiotic gun restrictions being passed by the Santa Fe sissy politicians and the counties in New Mexico, except for the same 3, are declaring themselves to be “2nd Amendment Sanctuary Counties” to protect citizens’ Constitutional rights. It might just get “lit up” in New Mexico before it does in Washington State.
Curious though. Doesn’t WA have a red flag law on the books? Seems like it actually might have helped in this case. Though I couldn’t find anything regarding its enjoyment in finding this guy. Just wondering.
That said, they’re a clear violation of due process and I don’t support them.
Thanks for the info, I’ve been out of circulation for a while. If, which I doubt, if this was in the news, i missed it. I only listen to somewhat conservative media outlets. Unfortunately fox has now chosen to dance like a puppet for their new anti American masters. So, it looks like most media now is filtered ABC CBS NBC npr cnn fox msnbc fakebook twatter skrewgle utube being known slaves of the masters that be.fox held out til the young cucks took over from their dad, now they are so eager to please their “friends and power group”… Read more »
We The People know what’s going on. We’ve been watching. It’s only a matter of time now.
As far as I can tell, that Spokane Sheriff saved his life. In Okanogan, Ferry, Chelan, and Douglas Counties (all the counties around his native Okanogan), the Commie to Good Ole Boy Ratio is about 1:30. All the Sheriff had to do is simply make it highly public, and it would take care of itself. You can bet on this; “Everyone in his family and circle jerk of friends is under scrutiny now.”
Looked at some of this dipwads Facebook friends and interests and the biggest tie in is their love of marijuana. Stoned communists. Their collective will starve cuz they’ll all be to stoned to work.
What this dimwit would be killer fails to realise is that the last Bloomie law got shoved down our throats here in Washington has only been used two times in the years since it took effect, also illegally: one case the guy was convicted, the other, last I knew, was pending. In both cases, the law was not used as a primary offense, but as an add on in an egregious caw involving other nefarious deeds. Prosecutors apparently decided this “offense” was needed “in the interest of justice”. Dimwit also has a short memory.. after that abominable 695 got shoved… Read more »
I am a FFL dealer in a small town rural area and rely of FB for our posts. FB made me supply them with a copy of my FFL, business license, tax license, town licenses to get approved to be on FB and YET, they still ban me for 30 days at a time every time I put an AR on my page for sale for violating community standards and yet the standards say that as an authorized dealer I can do it? FB in my opinion along with others like you tube are violating our first amendment rights but… Read more »
Better get ready, get prepared. These threats are real. The Eugene, OR PD took down the local ANTIFA thug at a school when he attempted to shoot them while being taken into custody. AT A SCHOOL, people!! The very type of incident those same Leftwing anarchists rail about over lawful citizens’ possession and ownership of firearms. They are the depth of hypocrisy, of lies, and propaganda. And now, they are arming themselves. . We had better damned well take this serious. Find others of your like mind, because these cowards only get courageous when in numbers, in gangs. Maybe this… Read more »
