FBI attacker was prolific contributor to Trump's Truth Social website

In the minutes after an armed man in body armor tried to breach an FBI field office in Cincinnati, an account with the suspect’s name, Ricky Shiffer, posted to former president Donald Trump’s social network, Truth Social: “If you don’t hear from me, it is true I tried attacking the F.B.I.”

The Shiffer account appeared to be one of Truth Social’s most prolific posters, writing 374 messages there in the past eight days — mostly to echo Trump’s lies about election fraud and, in the hours after FBI agents searched Trump’s Florida home, calling for all-out war. “Be ready to kill the enemy,” Shiffer had posted on Tuesday. “Kill [the FBI] on sight.”

Shiffer was killed Thursday in a shootout, police said, and the Truth Social account has since been taken down. But the calls for pro-Trump violence are still a common presence online — including on Truth Social, where the top “trending topics” Friday morning were “#FBIcorruption” and “DefundTheFBI.”

Trump has repeatedly attacked the FBI and Justice Department officials in public messages, including on Truth Social, where he told his more than 3 million followers Thursday that the Mar-a-Lago search was “a surprise attack, POLITICS, and all the while our Country is going to HELL!”

Because of course he was. *sigh*

Get ready for more of the same. They're determined to destroy civilization.

1. I am going to say something a lot of people will disagree

With. I am glad he was killed by the police.

[TheRealNorth]

2. I agree

Domestic terrorist got what he deserved. The body count could have been much worse.

[Bucky]

4. Yeah, that's pretty harsh

I'm glad law enforcement officers were able to stop him before he hurt anyone innocent. But it absolutely would have been better if they'd taken him alive. He was a deluded bully, but he was a human being. It's always better to leave the door open in hopes of future growth and deprogramming.

9. It does seem that, in Ohio, this group of LEOs tried that approach first

Crazed by disinformation and cornered, at the end, he raised a more threatening and instantly lethal weapon. There should always be the liberty of choice and accountability; some make the wrong choice, despairing of the accountability they need own and sometimes we own accountability for allowing that which, left alone by lie, by tone, by illness, by action, brings some to irrational choices that harm even more.

14. Yeah, he really didn't leave them with much choice.

He wasn't going to allow himself to be arrested. They had to take him out him before he took one (or more) of them out.

10. Something like this could go either way - yeah, death is bad*, but at least he has now STFU about

his delusions and being spread. That's the big payoff, no matter how we get there.

* How do we really know death is bad? All we've had is 2k+ years of propaganda, and if we die TPTB no longer have coins in the coffer coming in. Definitely not for altruistic reasons there. Just a rumination via gummy this early PM.

[SWBTATTReg]

3. Well, another person deluded by the orange idiot. Now he's dead, dead, dead!

Thank God he didn't hurt other innocents.

Perhaps this truth social website should be taken down or the platforms carrying it should drop it? It seems like it's attracting domestic terrorists.

[Hestia]

11. Unfortunately, now we can't really do that, because how can they then be found and

hunted down for the extremist dawgs that they are? January 6, 2021 has shown that if they want, the extremists will bury themselves deep and nobody will know who they are and unless an extremist member is shocked enough to narc on their fellow members, how will anyone know? It takes all factors these days to find them and if keeping their bullshit up for awhile longer names and claims them, go for it. I'm tired (exhausted!) with being held hostage by these lower forms of human beings...

[RussBLib]

5. Just the name "Truth Social"...

...is an insult. Don't think T**** has ever met the truth.

[IronLionZion]

6. Freepers are saying it's a false flag

they won't admit that a significant portion of MAGA folks are terrorists

[sakabatou]

7. Not surprised they'd call it that.

[Ohioboy]

8. Typical cult behavior

They block any information that shows them to be in the wrong. They only believe what the cult leaders tell them. Everything else is fake news.

12. We are all Domestic Terrorists

13. Now truth will be crawling with feds and snitches

Encourage a revolution in the form of domestic terrorism - expect the attention

[truthisfreedom]

15. They're determined to destroy their own lives.

Just like the insurrectionists.

[kirby]

16. Shiffer brains n/t

[littlemissmartypants]

17. I want to know if his professed way through bulletproof glass was the nail gun.

He thought he had a way through it. Was that his bright idea?
