A former Coast Guard lieutenant who received awards for skills in sharpshooting was arrested Monday for allegedly leveling a series of violent death threats towards President Donald Trump, according to newly unsealed court records.

Peter Stinson, a resident of Oakton, Virginia, served as an officer in the U.S. Coast Guard until 2021 and also worked as an instructor for FEMA’s Incident Command Systems, according to his criminal complaint.

Prosecutors say he was also a self-identified member of the Antifa movement and used his X and Bluesky accounts to transmit multiple threatening posts targeting Trump from 2020 through this year.

For instance, in April of 2020 prosecutors say Stinson responded to a post from an X user saying “somebody ought sue [Trump’s] a** off” by saying, “somebody ought to do more than sue the orange mf’s a**” before adding, “it involves a rifle and a scope, but I can’t talk about it here.”

“I’d be willing to pitch in $100 for a contract. Who wants to join me?” Stinson said. “We could solve the solvable part of this problem in a crack. Then, we can focus on the coronavirus itself.”

The complaint cites numerous other examples of Stinson replying to users with threatening language, suggesting he would “pull the trigger” to get rid of Trump or would be the “driver” if someone else were willing to assassinate him.

Awards for ‘sharpshooting’ likely means he failed to qualify as Expert at the Coast Guard’s knife and fork school for officers, but it sounds scary to the rubes. The threats were made during his active service and afterwards he was a founder of Mayday Movement USA, a group advocating for the impeachment and removal of President Trump.  Thanks to several of our Usual Suspects for the head’s up.
