Florida man arrested for allegedly making ‘violent’ threats against President Trump

A Florida man ​has been arrested for making “violent” threats against President Trump, police said.

Shannon Depararro Atkins​ allegedly made posts on social media targeting the ​Commander-in-Chief.

Atkins, 46, was arrested just before 7:30 p.m. Friday during a traffic stop in West Palm Beach — where he was allegedly found with cocaine, cops said. Authorities arrested Atkins after a tip, and the West Palm Beach man allegedly admitted making the “violent posts,” authorities said.

“America needs one good bullet to be saved,” Atkins allegedly wrote on Facebook on Jan. 19, a day before Trump was inaugurated for his second term.

Two hours later the same day, Atkins confessed on his Facebook page that he’d been banished from Elon Musk’s X. “I’ve been banned from “X”, because I said I hope and pray someone kills him,” he wrote in an apparent reference to Trump. “History is supposed to repeat itself. We haven’t had an assassination in years.”

He allegedly kept going, writing later in the day, “Bullets please. Please Jesus! Save America” over an image of a meme calling inauguration day a “day of mourning.”

On Friday, he reposted a meme showing the president with his late first wife Ivanka Trump that included the phrase, “I hope they get back together soon.” Atkins allegedly included a row of smiling emojis with the post.

Voter registration details show that Atkins voted Democrat since at least 2008.

He is believed to own Big Mama’s House of Sweets, a baked goods shop in West Palm Beach. *** He was being held at the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Main Detention Center and faces a drug possession charge as well as one count of written or electronic threats to kill, do bodily injury, or conduct a mass shooting or an act of terrorism, a second-degree felony.

Good catch. In the picture I posted of him, he looked a bit “flamboyant” if you will.

Ivana was his first wife. Ivanka’s their daughter. Idiots.

After DeSantis is done with him, he can go rot in a J6 cell.
