"We are going down there and we’re taking this country back," Jonathan O'Dell, 32, said in a TikTok video, authorities say. He and Bryan C. Perry, 37, could face years in prison.Oct. 13, 2022, 10:39 PM UTCTwo men in Missouri are accused of plotting to shoot migrants at the Texas border and broadcasting their plans on TikTok, the FBI said.
Jonathan S. O'Dell, 32, of Missouri, was charged with one count of transmitting a threat across state lines and one count of unlawfully possessing a firearm.According to the affidavits, the FBI got an anonymous tip last month that Perry, using the TikTok account @trashpanda1774, had posted a video threatening an attack against the government.
Around the end of last month, O'Dell posted a video to the TikTok account @mobornfromthe90s in which he discussed his plans to"secure the southern border" and leave for Texas on Oct. 4. Once agents had his address, they matched the exterior of his home with the exterior of a home that appeared in one of Perry's TikTok videos, in which he stated that"a war is coming," according to the documents.
During the call, O'Dell"said he wanted to get a group together to secure the border between the United States and Mexico," the affidavit says. O'Dell also offered to trade firearms if the undercover employee could provide amateur radios and night vision goggles. “We’re not going down there to protest," he said in the video, according to the documents."We’re not going down there to just be a presence. No, we are going down there and we’re taking this country back.”
