Summary
A man in Jeannette, Dale Ankney, is facing serious federal charges after allegedly threatening ICE and IRS agents online — and then verbally confronting FBI agents at his home, telling them he’d “cap” them. His Facebook posts, dating back to January, reportedly called for violence against federal law enforcement and politicians. The FBI acted after the Treasury Inspector General flagged the content, leading to his arrest on a warrant. This case serves as a chilling reminder: online threats can have deadly real-world consequences. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
