The former US Coast Guard officer and self-identified Antifa member who was charged with making threats to kill President Donald Trump online has been released from prison after posting bail. He was released on the conditions that he have no firearms in his home and that all his internet use will be monitored.
Peter Stinson, 63, who is also trained as a sharpshooter, was arrested last week on charges of making threats to kill the president after he released a number of social media posts to his X and Bluesky accounts, including one that said Trump had to be "Luigied," in reference to the UnitedHealthcare CEO assassination suspect, Luigi Mangione.
Between April 2020 and June 11, 2025, Stinson, who served in the Coast Guard for 33 years, made a series of threats against Trump. In one example from 2020, court documents said that Stinson wrote, responding to someone saying Trump should be sued, "Somebody ought to do more than sue the orange mf's a**," and then added, "It involves a rifle and a scope, but I can't talk about it here."
