Just in: Prosecutors charge a PA man w/multiple online threats against the FBI for posting violent messages on Gab in the days after agents searched Mar-a-Lago.

"I sincerely believe that if you work for the FBI, then you deserve to die."

"I am going to f**cking slaughter you."

A Mercer County man threatened to murder FBI agents last week after the bureau's search of Donald Trump's Florida estate, saying "come and get me you piece of [expletive] feds" and "I am going to [expletive] slaughter you," according to a federal complaint filed Monday in Pittsburgh.

Adam Bies, 46, is charged in U.S. District Court with influencing, impeding or retaliating against federal law officers.

He is in U.S. custody and is set for an initial appearance hearing this afternoon before a federal magistrate judge.

According to an FBI affidavit, Bies issued a variety of threats on Gab after agents searched Trump's Mar-a-Lago complex for evidence of stolen classified documents.

He compared the FBI to the Nazi SS and the Soviet-era KGB and said everyone at the FBI, from agents to janitors, should be killed.

"My only goal is to kill more of them before I drop," he wrote on Thursday. "I will not spend one second of my life in their custody."

I was thinking Beaver County, but probably about the same.

I served almost 30 years in the Navy. If God was going to give the world an enema, he would be hard-pressed to decide whether to stick the nozzle in Karachi, Pakistan, or Northwest PA.

Sure seems to be a hell of a lot of "economic anxiety" in these Dumbfuckistan, 'Murika shitholes.

After an emergency request for information, Gab provided subscriber data for "Adam Campbell," which the FBI said is an alias that Bies said he used "so that corporate Murica' can't google me out of a job."

My take on the guy: He's immensely talented in photography and graphic design, but his temperament and volatile nature always got the best of him despite working with some of Pittsburgh's big-name agencies and employers. I was on a friendly basis with him, and we shared an interest in biking and mountain biking. Politically, I thought he was more libertarian than anything, not really MAGA, but now it appears his anti-government stance has electrified him to the point of taking down others with him.

He and I have a few friends in common. If I get any insights from them, I'll post here.

Justice matters.

And that he doesn't care about anyone other than himself.

He will get a RICO procedure against him sooner or later.

Based on the Adam Bies I knew (and liked), I still think he is a lone wolf and not affiliated with any MAGA/militia group. The combination of his libertarian streak and anger would have risen to the fore and gotten him tossed from any suspected organization.

Western Psych in Pgh missing a patient by chance?

They do escape, I saw one, he was running down 5th avenue naked, also saw sheriff vehicle pull up and tuck him in back seat about a minute later.

Might explain the 1.5 star rating on Yelp?

I don’t think he’ll have many work opportunities after he’s held accountable for his threats.
