Man who said he'd 'pluck out' VP Harris' eyes was baffled when feds appeared at door: Complaint
A man who vowed to light VP Kamala Harris on fire and "personally pluck out her eyes" reacted with surprise when investigators showed up at his door, a complaint alleges.
“[F]or a comment. This is ridiculous, for a comment,” he allegedly said. “I guess I’m gonna need a lawyer.”
The comment:
Carillo in one post said Harris doesn’t “have a snowballs chance in hell which is exactly where you’re going and soon. I will cut your eyes out of your FUCKING head” and “will make sure you suffer a slow agonizing death."
He said he would “personally” set Harris on fire “if no one else does."
Carillo said Harris is “going to regret ever trying to become president because if that ever happened I will personally pluck out her eyes with a pair of pliers but first I will shoot and kill everyone that gets in my way that is a fucking promise.”
What is it that this person believes she has done that deserves such a horrible death? It’s hard for me to wrap my mind around why someone thinks like this
I used to hear this kind of shit all the time when I had a trumper as a supervisor. I almost did call the feds once when he and several other people were talking about shooting people for living in a city. One of them had just bought a gun and was in the waiting period. It's obviously just shit talk, but I should have burned them for being pieces of shit.
She's a symbolic scapegoat for everything wrong in americans lives and thus the source of everything wrong with this guys life.
A figurehead saying the same thing therefore making the act seem normal. That's why being called weird stings them so much because they know they are, they know you know that and they are counting on you not doing anything about it
Then probably in the next sentence would rant about the violent left
But yeah, I don't get it, I wouldn't wish torture even on the worst people in the world and history, it's just really unnecessary and disturbing
I wonder if it is some kind of frustration burst release that finds a convenient path of list effort in the far-right propaganda. Like when people get furious alone inside their own car and call everybody names, or gamers threatening your life online after some loss, because there's no perceived emotional consequences so they don't need to restrain themselves, same idea but more extreme. I don't think most of those people would have the heart of doing such horrible things if they were in front of their target and had to face the inevitable human empathy. Sociopaths with zero empathy are probably much rarer than Trump supporters.
Out of all the thousand stories we've all seen where the message is that sometimes you end up being worse than your enemy, it all flew completely over some people's heads. They're different. Sure, other people's violence isn't justifiable. But mine is.
"Its just a comment, bro, I was just postin"
Didn't finish with a "in Minecraft" at the end. Rookie mistake.
What a twat.
How stupid of him. If only had just said "haha sike naw jk lol lol lol" after every sentence.
“Oh I’m sorry, I thought this was America”
Or had an (R) after his name
will shoot and kill everyone that gets in my way that is a fucking promise.”
Real small dick energy
I just want to get to a world where "that is a fucking promise" is actually a promise.
This is like the whole "figuratively" vs. "literally" thing turned up to 11. Are you actually, literally promising to do something? If not, then don't say "I promise" just to make it understood that you feel something passionately.
Like who would have thought that writing shit like this UNDER YOUR OFFICIAL NAME would have consequences?
”For a comment.”
In this day and age, who hasn’t made incredibly specific ultraviolent threats against an elected official while constantly reassuring others that they are serious/making a promise to enact these threats? Did this upstanding citizen simply forget to cite his first amendment rights to the agents?
"I thought this was America where we have FREEDOM OF SPEECH to just comment on how we're going to torture, mutilate, and kill presidential candidates, not some communist fascist dictatorship. Except if you talk bad about Trump, you'll get killed for that." –Somebody somewhere
Oh, wow. Yep, seems like a crime. Laughing about or wishing death is free speech. Indicating that you intend to do something is the line.
Yeah, this sure is "ridiculous"
dude deserves solitary imo.
His comments are way worse if you read the affidavit. That's just what they chose to publish. He really does threaten her even worse than what the article is directly publishing, not to mention threatening that poor Maricopa county Recorder.
Yeah the feds aren’t gonna fuck around with a statement like that.
Especially if you own guns.
But does he own pliers?
They've really normalized this shit to the point they don't understand why it's wrong...
It's just like 1/6, there's a few that are serious and dangerous, and they're hiding among a large group of fucking idiots and using them as human shields.
Normalizing violence is something fascists always do before the actual violence, they're getting people desensitized to the idea of it.
they've never understood it to BE wrong, much less why. all they know is the fear mongering rhetoric of "they're coming to take your guns, turn your kids gay, and forcibly terminate your pregnancies" along with the whole "you're not a real man if you're not violent" ideal, since the GOP stance can't win on policy
My dad was recently telling me a story from back in the 90s when he worked in a rural Wisconsin town close to the Illinois border and his co-workers would "joke" about shooting at cars with Illinois license plates. It's crazy to me just how long the right has had a culture of sharing fantasies about being violent towards the left. It's no wonder that the vast majority of mass shooters turn out to be far right nut jobs, they've been raised in a culture that glorifies violence against people they disagree with.
Turns out violent threats are not protected speech under the first amendment. Who knew?!
Fuck around and find out.
They are if you're in Congress
Oof. Sadly, events of the last few years support your statement. 🙄
Up to 5 years to think about it.
Imagine the level of training to attain such a perspective:

Give or take
Good job FBI, who knows whether he was serious but there’s a reason there’s an exact statute for this and he actually had weapons - not a good look buddy.
I feel like after one threat like this you shouldn't legally be allowed to own weapons.
If found with an illegal weapon after these statements should be recited in front of a judge/jury during trial so they know why the person shouldn't be allowed to have it. These kinds of threats are not things that normal, rational people make.
"Based on training and experience" is "because fucking obviously" but will hold up in court.
Ahaha yeah and they gotta start out with “I ain’t no chump neither”:
Idk. I think now that boomers are finally shuffling off stage it might.
Lucky that the investigator had that tech training or the suspect could have slipped away
I imagine they cranked into high gear after someone took a shot at Trump. Assassination attempts tend to beget more.
It’s weird the personal amount of attention these people give to hating their politicians and wanting to personally harm them. Like, I hate Trump, but really I just want him to go to jail, I’m not going to throw my life away for somebody that detestable.
It’s because it’s All About Them. Their (as fragile as spun-sugar) ego is all-important, and anything that threatens it has to go. And since they wrap their ego up in Being a Republican, and Being a Strong White Man, and all the racist bullshit that goes with that stance, that makes Harris is a physical manifestation of everything they hate. Such ‘challenges’ to their ego cannot be allowed to exist.
Same. I just want trump to face actual consequences for his criminal activity, and for him to never be relevant to politics EVER again.
I honestly wish I could block trump like in black mirror. So whenever his face comes up on my screen it's automatically blurred. His voice gets a long "bleeeep" for however long he's talking. That'd make me happy. I'm sick of seeing his ugly mug and hearing his shitty words everywhere.
Imagine the level of training to attain such a perspective
Keep in mind that there's a lot of dumb people in the world, which is why lawsuits spell out everything, even if some details sound obvious to us.
Oh, indeed, I appreciate the verbosity. You have to admit, seeing that particular phenomenon spelled out is pretty fun!
Winchester, Virginia
Well that explains part of it
I’d have to read the source, but what was the original action that prompted the FBI to ask for all these records? Just looking at this GETTR garbo site, it looks like profiles more/less could be public (as in i can look at accounts without an account), but they also say there they looked at his google map account.
This does feel a little 1st amendment breaking to me though. Maybe they considered the 4k comments so spammy it constituted an attempt to manipulate the forum? I can see the argument in the content, but what argument do they even have to consider it noteworthy. I suppose this is why most websites just ban toxic content like me, so they don’t have the feds on their door. Jesus.
Quick 11-page read here if you wanna try to answer your own question so you can check if I’m off base:

1A is sacrosanct but the moron went too far.
Jokes (one & two) are dandy though :) Two is funnier while one is more extreme.
Imagine living in a country, proclaiming yourself as rabidly patriotic, and not even knowing some of its most basic laws.
Its incredibly common place.
Many such cases
So many people think freedom means they can do whatever they want whenever they want with no restrictions at all
They sure know a lot when it comes to the second amendment...
"What are you gonna do, arrest me?"
gets arrested
You forgot the surprised pikachu face.
Can't show that face when it's on the ground.
Tangential but also relevant; I worked in a larger construction company until a year ago and it was multi state. Imagine my surprise when word spread that the FBI was looking for an employee in another department regarding 1/6. Before Jan 6 he had been filmed jumping up on a table at the local Costco with a megaphone and spewing filth.
There are always signs.
This is why you only threaten politicians that are already dead.
For example, pissing on Ronald Reagan's grave, the deceased shitty actor just to be clear, is still on my bucket list.
When I was a teenager I made an email address, [email protected], inspired by the suicidal tendencies song. Years later in my late 20s or early 30s the secret service showed up at my door to ask about it. I had nearly forgotten I even made it by then. I don't remember if Reagan was dead yet but he was on his llast legs. I guess they're super thorough when it comes to anything other than that one roof near Trump's rally
No word on whether they investigated Mike Muir in the 80s when the song was written and Reagan was still alive/relevant
He should he catastrophically exhumed in a few thousand pieces
Is there a statue of limitations on pooping on bill Taft or do we gotta form a line
For these mouth-breathers, "'Murica! Freeeedum!" means:
Whatever lazy, angry, ignorant, all-viscera-no-brains image I cooked up while living alone and bitter in a neglected and crumbling old house with a few "KEEP OUT!"/"TRESPASSERS WILL BE SHOT" signs around the goddamned perimeter.Their tiny little minds live in a tiny, narrow and flat, miserable little world. And here's the kicker - that's the way they want it, out of sheer lazy inertia.
Fucker sneezed during his booking photo and they didnt let him re-take it lol
Maybe he has resting sneeze face?
What a dumb ass.

Heh, try that in a small town.
I don't think the nickname Crapler Harris is going to stick.
Donald "Diaper Dump" Trump works better.
Im surprised no one's come up with Camel Hairs. Vaguely racist/xenophobic and mysogynist with enough wiggle room to pretend it's neither
No one's ever accused right-wingers of being creative.
They have. My FIL has routinely refered to her as "Camel hair Harris." It's childish and disgusting.
At least this guy will no longer have access to guns after this.
As long as he: a) doesn't get a trump judge and b) trump doesn't get in office.
Unfortunately for him
“[F]or a comment. This is ridiculous, for a comment,” he allegedly said. “I guess I’m gonna need a lawyer.”
Is essentially an confession that it was his comment, from a jury's perspective. Not that I would expect a moron that makes death threats to know when not to speak.
Looks like we have another fuck around and found out.
Anyone know if the Secret Service would show up if you threaten to boop someone right on the snoot?
I'll boop you on the snoot.
....and now we wait.
I had to laugh so hard while reading the article. What could go wrong?
For sure, these are not the best and brightest.
“[F]or a comment. This is ridiculous, for a comment,”
Yeah buddy. Not all comments are threats, and not all threats are comments, but your comments were both. If you need that explained, it's no wonder you are voting Trump.
Well, not anymore if he's convicted
I remember how worked up I could get when I was a child in the internet.
I used to write very poor emails absolutely livid whenever a videogame journalist would write a piece about how Nintendo should give up making consoles and just focus on games.
Were you also threatening Nintendo with your locked and loaded AR-15?
"Frank Lucio Carillo" I hope now that his name is out there that he doesn't get the same treatment that he gives to others.
Sounds like he should run for Congress. The Maggots would protect him
The charged offense is punishable by up to five years behind bars upon conviction.
What's the over/under on this guy getting off without spending a day behind bars?
He's not rich, so he'll probably get something.
This is average Joe. He's not getting airboat treatment.
