An 18-year-old Ohio youth was arrested after he made online threats to shoot federal law enforcement officers.
Tsarnas said that the young man was making the comments under the profile name “ArmyofChrist.”
The 18-year-old would make comments on the social media site supporting mass shootings.
“Hell, even the Oklahoma City bombing, shows that armed resistance is a viable method of political change. There is no legal solution,” Olsen added.
“In conclusion, shoot every federal agent on site.”
The agents then raided—what was reported to be his father’s home—before Olsen told them it was “only a joke.”
His arrest occurred the same week as the Dayton shooting that killed nine people at a nightclub.
Law enforcement was particularly concerned when the young man posted about being accepted into the Reserve Officers’ Training Corps program in Alabama.
