Arizona Man Arrested for Threatening to Kill Donald Trump and Family


Recommended Posts

An Arizona man, Manuel Tamayo-Torres, has been charged with making threats against President-elect Donald Trump and his family. Authorities allege that Tamayo-Torres posted videos online almost daily, in which he accused Trump and members of his family of kidnapping and sex-trafficking his children. Federal court documents reveal that he also displayed an AR-15-style rifle in some of these videos, further heightening concerns over his intentions.

 

According to the documents, one of Tamayo-Torres's videos was recorded at the Desert Diamond Arena in Glendale, Arizona, the location of a Trump rally on August 23. While the court papers refer to "Individual 1" instead of explicitly naming Trump, the description as a "former president and current president-elect" leaves no ambiguity.

 

In a video posted to Facebook on November 13, Tamayo-Torres is seen holding what appears to be a white AR-15-style rifle with a 30-round magazine. He issues a threat that is both alarming and, at times, difficult to decipher. "You see [Individual 1], this from far away, [Individual 1]... As soon I hear that leave that barrel, I’m already on the foot run after you [Individual 1]," he says, according to the court documents. He also mentions law enforcement personnel, describing them as “little boys and their little badges, off the books,” and claims they cannot chase him effectively because of their equipment.

 

In another video posted on November 21, Tamayo-Torres escalates his rhetoric, stating that Trump’s “whole family is going to die.” He goes on to make disparaging remarks, adding, “You’re Caucasian nothing. You’ll earn nothing. Aryan money, that’s all you have. You’re a low-life scum. I’ll spit in your f-----g face motherf---er, and if they give me a chance, I’m going to f-----g bury you myself."

 

Tamayo-Torres was arrested in Southern California on Monday. He faces one count of making threats against the president-elect and four counts of making false statements during the purchase of a firearm. His attorney has not yet commented on the charges.

 

The court documents also reveal Tamayo-Torres’s history of violent behavior. In 2003, he was convicted of felony assault and served five years in a California state prison. Additionally, in 2022, his ex-wife obtained a protection order against him.

 

This case underscores ongoing concerns about threats of political violence in the United States. It also highlights the role of social media in enabling individuals to disseminate threatening messages, often with alarming reach. Tamayo-Torres's arrest serves as a stark reminder of the challenges faced by law enforcement in addressing such threats effectively.

Is no one going to defend his right to bare arms or free speech 🤔 

^^ The perfect case for labelling someone a deplorable.  Not because they don't agree with your ideology but simply because they are deplorable.

Please be clear I don't agree with the idiot but I also don't agree with no checks to buy guns or the need for machine guns for protection with Joe bloggs "free speech " comes at a price. 

No threats of violence online or in person should be tolerated full stop.

Even if its a threat to hang Mike pence same people your victim may pardon

OK, but that is much different than your original post .   I take back the deplorable comment 🙂 Free speech does have legal limitations as stipulated by another poster above. 

 

A political party that is more focused on what Trump has said and may do isn't the answer.  How about figuring out what happened to a party that in the past represented the normal working class and seems to have forgotten how to walk the talk.

I really do not have any love for Trump but he is the next POTUS and such threats are, IMO,  in no way acceptable.

Thank you, at least you have some sense compared to most of the Left.  How about Trump's team members and their threats to them and their families?  Not a fan of Obama or Biden, but don't wish this treatment against anyone.

Unfortunately, assassination is the only strategy left in the leftists doctrine.

 

They have failed at every illegal attempt to keep Trump from running for President.

 

 

Now, there is a real fear of a drone strike against Trump.

Strange, I thought an attempt was by one of your lot, who probably dreaded a weird bloke becoming Prezzy.........

The failure to stop Trump being Prezzy is unfortunate for USA folk.............🤔

You obviously don’t know anything about guns and the laws of the second amendment. No person has a right to own a select fire weapon (machine gun) in the US. You need a FFL, (federal firearm license) to own.

Sounds like another upset lefty to me. All too common now. Was listening yesterday to a youtube video about NY think about moving to Canada - cannot happen soon enough in my opinion. Ship all the lefties out would be far better for america

Most Canadians don't want them either, as may be proven in the next Canadian election.

You know better I was under assumption that in mississippi for example it's legal to buy or sell privately with no checks compulsory? I don't suppose this could be the reason it's high up if not no1 on gun deaths % wise

Yeah well that went right over your head. No one can own a select fire weapon without a FFL in the US in any state.

the fact that both incidents have been buried by the media would indicate they were not republicans after all, if they were it would be all over the front pages.
