(1-27-25) According to West Palm Beach (Florida) Police, the FBI received a tip from a Okeechobee, Florida man who said Shannon Depararro Atkins (46) made violent Facebook posts against President Donald Trump.

The two posts were made on Facebook, one of the posts was a re-post of a message that read-

‘Jan 20th is the Day of Mourning for USA.’ Atkins captioned his re-post, ‘Bullets please. Please Jesus! Save America.’

Another post read-

‘I’ve been banned from ‘X’, because I said I hope and pray someone kills him. History is supposed to repeat itself. We haven’t had an assassination in years.’

written or electronic threats to kill, do bodily injury, or conduct a mass shooting or an act of terrorism and possession of cocaine.”
