Florida Man Arrested for Threatening to Kill President Trump

A 46-year old man from Florida has just been arrested for making threats against President Trump.

Shannon Atkins, a deranged far-leftist and registered Democrat, was arrested in West Palm Beach, FL for calling for the assassination of President Trump in a series of “disturbing posts” on his social media accounts.

When police stopped him at a traffic stop, they also found him in possession of several bags of cocaine.

Atkins looks just about like you’d expect…

Here he is, proudly wearing a Harris-Walz tee:

Some, like Andy Ngo, are also saying that Atkins was a drag queen, but we cannot confirm this for sure.

However, many of his social media posts also showed support for so-called “transgenders.”

Here are some of Atkins’ sick social media posts:

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 three baggies of cocaine in his pocket, cops said.

Authorities arrested Atkins after receiving a Jan. 19 tip pointing to disturbing posts the man had allegedly been sharing in the days before Trump’s inauguration.

“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.

Atkins had been sharing his negative feelings for Trump for months, but volume dramatically increased leading up to and following the inauguration.

On Friday — shortly before the arrest — 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.

Atkins allegedly admitted to the violent social media posts — but claimed he was simply “joking.”
