A newly unsealed federal complaint accuses a Downers Grove man of threatening to kill federal immigration officers and other public officials while stockpiling a small arsenal of weapons and ammunition marked with the names of political figures. ..

The FBI says Stover used Bluesky and Facebook accounts to repeatedly post violent rhetoric from February through July 2025, including explicit calls to kill Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents “on sight.”

A close call on this one: armed loon self-identifies on social media, guns seized, later arrested.

The country is now probably crawling with armed leftist lunatics.

Make sure the killer get his “due process”. It would be a shame if he didn’t.

^ i agree and we will see more violence from them

It also crawling with armed experienced trained “right wingers”.

The Democrat party cult of hate wing has no idea at all what is in the pot they are stirring.

"Stover used Bluesky and Facebook accounts "

Of course they did.

In May, the Downers Grove Police Department deemed him a “clear and present danger” under Illinois law. His Firearm Owner’s Identification card was revoked, and officers went to his home to seize 11 firearms, including handguns and rifles, ammunition, and a stash of rifle rounds with politicians’ names on them, the complaint said.

February Facebook post in which Stover allegedly displayed five rifle rounds with the first names of well-known political figures written on them. The complaint did not identify the political figures. The Facebook account cited in the complaint is no longer available.

There are a lot of very experienced and well trained combat vets just itching for something to start. The biggest problem is easily identifying your target. The antifa types and other assorted leftist lunatics will be utilizing hit and run tactics and won’t show their true colors.

Another frickin’ Democrat.

Just down the road from me. Holy crap.

Illinois has a no cash bail law that applies to everything up to 2nd degree murder. Unless he was taken into federal custody, he’ll be back home before sundown.

Antifa is a cult of cowards. The like to gang up on lone, old, unarmed, weak looking targets. The few times they tried real attacks against capable opposition they got their asses kicked.

But as the saying goes. “God created man, Col Colt made them equal”

We are pretty close to the the 2nd F of the FAFO paradigm

Lesson here for conservatives is this “list” can go both ways, never store all your boating losses in one place.
