Anti-gun 'Marxist' arrested for allegedly threatening to shoot cops

A self-proclaimed Marxist punk was arrested in Washington state on charges of violently threatening law enforcement officers on social media, a brilliant act of covert bravery. In fact, according to Newsweek  Jaydin Ledford, 23, "also claims to speak to the trees"

Ledford posted several messages targeting Washington police, and one included a death threat to Spokane Sheriff Ozzie Knezovich. "Ozzie Knezovich is gonna get a bullet in his skull," Ledford's FB post stated.

The fine, young, communist posted multiple death threats against police after members of the force publicly denounced gun control bill (I-1639) which expands background checks and prohibits anyone under 21 from purchasing a semi-automatic rifle, among other prohibitions. The NRA has filed a lawsuit against the law claiming it's unconstitutional [which it is].

"I=1639 is law. [S]heriffs that are non compliant will be shot. By me," Ledford wrote on Facebook, possibly unaware that NOT shooting law enforcement officials is also the law.

The lad also posted "I really want to kill a police officer."

Sheriff Knezovich said he found the threats "ironic."

"This is an individual who wants to ban guns -- except he wants to kill people," Knezovich said, possibly forgetting that the guy talks to trees.

Anyway, Ledford was arrested on federal charges of cyberstalking.

Newsweek writes:

“According to the statute, cyberstalking includes 'any course of conduct or series of acts taken by the perpetrator on the Internet that place the victim in reasonable fear of death or serious bodily injury, or causes, attempts to cause, or would be reasonably expected to cause substantial emotional distress to the victim or the victim’s immediate family.'"

Sheriff Tony Hawley that Ledford was also charged with harassment and the threats were made known to the sheriff's office by a "concerned citizen."

On Feb. 4, Grant County Sheriff Tom Jones joined more than a dozen of his counterparts from around the state declining to enforce the initiative [of I-1639] until it’s cleared at the federal level.

“I am instructing my deputies not to enforce Initiative 1639 in Grant County while the constitutional validity remains in argument at the federal courts level,” he stated in a release. “I swore an oath to defend our citizens and their constitutionally protected rights. I do not believe the popular vote overrules that.”

If it does pass the federal threshold, Jones said he would partner with his prosecutor’s office “to ensure the best plan moving forward.”

“As long as I am Chief of Police, no Republic police officer will infringe on a citizen’s right to keep and bear arms,” said Republic Police Chief Loren Culp.
