An 18-year-old Ohio man who went by the name “ArmyOfChrist” was arrested by the FBI for allegedly making online threats against federal law enforcement and Planned Parenthood.
Agents found about 10,000 rounds of ammunition, assault-style weapons and shotguns, according to an FBI affidavit.
The FBI began investigating Justin Olsen after discovering his iFunny account. In June, “ArmyOfChrist” posted, “shoot every federal agent on sight.”
The investigation was “based upon the observation by FBI Anchorage into multiple Internet postings in which ArmyOfChrist discussed supporting mass shootings, and assault and/or targeting of Planned Parenthood,” according to the affidavit.
In another post, he allegedly wrote, “Don’t comply with gun laws, stock up on stuff they could ban. In fact, go out of your way to break these laws.”
Olson was charged Monday with one count of threatening to assault a federal law enforcement officer.
Olson insisted during interviews with federal authorities that he had no violent intentions and was being “hyperbolic.”
