After surviving two assassination attempts on the campaign trail and winning the presidency, President Trump is still facing threats on his life from psychotic leftists.
Police have announced the arrest of a man named 46-year-old Shannon Depararro Atkins of West Palm Beach, Florida, for making death threats on social media and calling for the assassination of Trump. He was found with several bags of cocaine upon his arrest.
West Palm Beach Police Chief Tony Araujo announced the arrest during a press conference on Saturday, saying detectives found “disturbing posts” with “violent rhetoric” on Atkin’s Facebook.
Atkins is seen below wearing a “Harris Walz 2024” shirt.

“Some of the posts were Lincoln, JFK, Reagan, Martin Luther King, and Trump. Atkins posted, ‘Unfortunately, one is still alive.’ He wrote something to that effect. He also wrote another saying, ‘Bullets, please. Jesus, save America.’ Another one, he wrote, ‘I’ve been banned from X because I said, I hope and pray someone kills him. We haven’t had an assassination in years,’” Araujo said.
“Just before 7:30 pm on Friday night, Atkins was stopped near one of his homes. He was driving a white 2013 BMW when we placed him in custody. Subsequently, we found three baggies containing suspect cocaine in his pocket. They did test positive. He was arrested without incident. While being interviewed later, he admitted writing the Facebook post, but said he was joking. Folks, this is not a joke. Nothing of that sort is a joke.”
Araujo continued, “We notified the Secret Service. They’re looking at this case, and they’ll make a determination if federal charges are going to be in play.”
Atkins is facing state charges for felony offenses in the state of Florida. Atkins reportedly faces charges of drug possession and written or electronic threats to kill, do bodily injury, or conduct a mass shooting or act of terrorism.

Some of the posts on Atkins’ Facebook page showed his support for transgenders, the Obamas, and hateful views which encourage violence against Trump.
In one post, referenced by Chief Araujo, Atkins calls for Trump to be assassinated like Lincoln, JFK, and Martin Luther King Jr.
In another post, Atkins suggested that Michelle Obama would be “in the middle of crossfire” had she attended Trump’s inauguration.
“America needs one good bullet to be saved,” he said:
Another post referenced by Chief Araujo shows Atkins commenting that he’s been banned from X for saying, “I hope and pray someone kills him [Trump]. History is supposed to repeat itself. We haven’t had an assassination in years.”
Following his reinstatment on X, Atkins said, “Im back you MAGA PIECES OF SH*T!”
Atkins also references Trump’s late ex-wife, Ivana Trump, with a meme that reads, “I hope they get back together soon.”
Atkins has also shared many pro-transgender messages on his Facebook page.
