Guy threatens to slaughter Antifa. FBI takes his guns.

Using Oregon’s new red flag law.

Shane Kohfield stood outside the home of Portland’s mayor in July wearing body armor and a “Make America Great Again” baseball cap, a large knife strapped to one shoulder and a copy of his concealed weapons permit displayed on the other.

Using a loudspeaker, he warned the right-wing activists who turned out to condemn the city’s handling of recent violent demonstrations that they needed to protect themselves against their anti-fascist, or antifa, rivals.

“If antifa gets to the point where they start killing us, I’m going to kill them next,” Kohfield, 32, said. “I’d slaughter them and I have a detailed plan on how I would wipe out antifa.”

That threat pushed the FBI’s Joint Terrorism Task to take a series of extraordinary steps against Kohfield, including temporary seizure of a cache of his firearms under Oregon’s new “red flag” law aimed at preventing gun violence, The Oregonian/OregonLive has learned.

(More at link, including the fact that they had him committed for 20 days)

On edit: not meaning for this to be a gun discussion, just noting that the FBI is actually taking threats seriously.

1. So noted. and thank goodness they are.

thanks for sharing.

[Karadeniz]

2. I guess they'll just learn to keep quiet.

[Sewa]

4. I don't think their egos will

allow them to keep quiet. Their ego overwhelms common sense.

[Captain Zero]

5. well for some of them, if they don't say it over and over

it may not happen because they are so impaired they have to hear it to remember it. That really is a thing among the 75-89 IQ group. No disrespect to peaceful and simple folk.

3. He is not in jail?

What prevents him from finding weapons somewhere else and going nuts? He needs to be in 24/7 custody.

6. Sounds perfectly sane to me.

After three years of tRump I can't tell anymore.

7. People, read the article before replying. Ex-Marine, two tours in Iraq,

bipolar, PTSD, drinking... this is a highly toxic mix. Is the VA equipped to handle these guys? No. And how many more are out there getting whipped into an antifa, "liberal government" frenzy? Fucking right-wing media pouring gasoline on the fire...

[JonLP24]

10. I served one tour in Iraq

And a temporary drug & alcohol problem after I got out. I have been diagnosed with PTSD and occasional psychosis. The VA has taken good care of me though I never been one who had a desire to commit violence. I didn't want an infantry job or something similar so I wouldn't have to kill people. Ended up enlisting as an 88M.

15. I'm glad to hear you've been taken care of by the VA...

and hope you have a good support system of family and friends.

[HDSam]

13. I love

Veteran stereotypes.

“These guys”...seriously?

BTW, the VA is uniquely equipped to handle “these guys”. Ask me how I know (betcha won’t though).

[SMC22307]

16. Yes, seriously.

Numerous tours, PTSD, bipolar, alcohol abuse... that is A LOT for one person to bear. I want to made sure these vets are taken care of.

[TheRealNorth]

14. The problem I hear from some vets is that they Don't live near the VA services

If they ldon't live near a VA hospital, they might have to travel A few hours each way to get services.

[SMC22307]

17. That's a problem. I imagine many even live far from...

the outpatient clinics. We ask a lot of these men and women -- we need to take care of them.

8. did they give his ar-15 & other guns back to him?

or when you surrender them does that mean you don't get them back?

[JohnnyRingo]

9. Hard to get any guns back.

Whether they're held under statute or booked as evidence, there's a mile of red tape to go through, even if they belong to someone else. It can take years and real money on lawyers, not to mention that cops tend to put in dibs on the expensive ones. I've seen it happen.

Just as well, this guy should never have them back.

[orleans]

12. thanks for the info

and i agree he shouldn't have them--that's why i asked

[myohmy2]

11. "I'd slaughter them and I have a detailed plan..."

"...wearing body armor and a “Make America Great Again” baseball cap,..."

...say no more...
