A 22-year-old Nokomis, Florida, man posted $200,000 bond after he was charged with posting several threatening videos onto his social media accounts with an agenda to shoot everyone at a Black Lives Matter rally.

Quintin Adkins was arrested by Sarasota County Sheriff's Office on Thursday after detectives received an anonymous tip on June 11 about his Instagram and Snapchat posts.

Police said Adkins made several videos in which he was brandishing, loading and firing several weapons including at least three assault rifles while threatening to shoot all demonstrators at a Black Lives Matter event.

Adkins, an electrician, was taken into custody and charged with written threats to kill -- an amended law following the 2018 Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School shooting in Parkland.

1. 22 year old posts $200k bond?

Feds should get involved and charge hate crimes.

10. Parents signed a lien on their house at the bail bondsman

[merrifield]

2. Remind me again

How it's Antifa that are the supposed violent terrorists. Barr? Trump? What do you have to say about this supporter of yours?

[LiberalArkie]

3. You missed the point. Barr and Trump said Antifa was a threat to THEM.

4. He's only 22! How can someone that young be so messed up that he

would give up his whole life to exercise his hate for just a few ecstatic rounds of ammunition?

He's probably not aware of how very much he is like the suicide bombers he probably loves to hate. And he's equally as brainwashed.

20. I'm getting that vibe too.

6. Failure of parenting.

[EarthFirst]

14. Or a product of parenting...

Unfortunately there’s a lot of hate out there.

[roamer65]

18. Very possible.

Sadly.

[JonLP24]

16. Most of the mass shooters are young males

[Lock him up.]

17. Sadly, plenty of these still-baby boys (by their behavior) on the socials...

They think trolling is a game of which one of them will bully, threaten violence the most because they can't control their impulses from testosterone rushes.

It's like a racist addiction, and the con is their role-model.

Lock him up.

19. Video games...

.... its got to be the godless video games.

[JonLP24]

21. Video games have nothing to do with it

Research has long debunked another common explanation among politicians: that violent video games are driving the mass shooting crisis. The idea was floated again by House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) and Trump, who talked of restricting "gruesome and grisly video games."
There is, however, no statistical link between playing violent video games and shooting people, said Jonathan Metzl, director of the Center for Medicine, Health and Society at Vanderbilt University.
A 2004 report conducted by the Secret Service and the Education Department found that 12 percent of perpetrators in more than three dozen school shootings showed an interest in violent video games. Despite a continuing lack of a link, lawmakers and public figures continue to blame the gaming industry.

I would be a mass shooter by now if video games were the cause and I played grand theft auto when I was younger than 15 and turned out fine.

[reACTIONary]

22. I should have added....

[Aristus]

7. I can only assume he's not a believer in All Lives Matter.

Because, 'shoot everybody' doesn't sound like all lives matter...

[Nevilledog]

24. It's "All White Lives Matter". The White is silent.

[IronLionZion]

8. Charge him with domestic terrorism

[RussBLib]

11. Really. So young, so vicious

How the fuck does that happen?

Is this punk a member of.... what group?

[Ghost of Tom Joad]

12. Read about him in the Sarasota paper this morning

He should also be charged with animal cruelty. He posted a video aiming a gun at a cat, threatening to blow his head off and then poured water on the cat. Despicable human. I wonder how many animals he abused.

[JI7]

23. animal abuse is usually a sign they will murder people

[Jopin Klobe]

13. "Man arrested ..." ...

... come on ...

... that's not a man ...

[NBachers]

15. But the important thing is, how were the guns treated? Guns matter too, you know.
