The IRS? Did he like, not pay taxes on his suicide vest or something?
Who among us has not done that.
It’s a work experience. Well I’m about to have it as my uniform for a day
Who among us
I had this entire sequence play through my head when I read your comment

People like this deeply confuse me
The IRS ain’t sending an agent to you specifically unless you’ve done something well beyond the pale of what can just be excused as a mix-up or simple misunderstanding
You gotta be in a whole different kinda space for the tax man to be someone you gotta personally interact with.
IRS agents generally don’t like making their job harder. Don’t piss them off and you’ll probably be fine.
The banality of evil. A roku remote, Christmas themed tea towel, a Christmas snowman countdown calendar, and a suicide vest to and paying taxes
Suicide vest is in christmas colors too
Merry Christmas ya filthy animal
We’re the Wet Bandits
I feel like Roku customers are just the right amount of intelligent to post their suicide vest jokes on Twitter and think it’s not a big deal
jokes are protected speech. any amount of actual investigation would have found that they don’t own anything like that. fuck government intimidators
This was the investigation and they apparently let him go if he’s posting about it. Right or wrong I’m not surprised they postured strongly at a guy making threat jokes.
He’s only not wearing the vest in the second photo because that’s the FBI not the IRS.
You know, of all the things of this post, it’s the Roku remote that really confuses me. Was he holding it when he answered the door? Was it in his pocket and he took it out when was looking for phone to make the Tweet?
I think those are two entirely different days, and the second day the friendly neighborhood FBI field office agents brought the printout of the first day with them to confront CoreyPilat over his vague threat towards federal officers.
So the remote being on his kitchen countertop is just random coincidence and does not figure into the continuity between the two posts.
The police brought it, it was evidence.
So did the cops really show up to these dudes house? What’s the deal?
this is pretty regular. It happens a lot with people who order large amounts of “suspicious chemicals” Styropyro got a visit from, i believe the ATF, might be wrong it’s been a minute since i’ve watched that video, for procuring chemicals that can be used for nefarious purposes in mass quantities.
Similar things have happened with farmers, (fertilizer can often be used in improvised bombs) You will almost certainly see something similar if you directly threaten the government, though it’s usually "hey uh, don’t do this, this is bad, also we’re going to make sure you aren’t a terrorist real quick.
Especially farmers. Many of them have stores of diesel fuel and fertilizer…
well i mean diesel isn’t that weird. Anyone running a construction business also has a lot of stored diesel fuel.
You’d be more concerned if someone had lots of gasoline, but even then that’s not a massive concern.
It’s not usual in the normal populous i suppose, but then again, there are a lot of things that aren’t so.
Anyone running a construction business also has a lot of stored diesel fuel.
But they don’t usually have tons of fertilizers, too.
true, though the fertilizer would likely be the bigger concern.
Well on the bright side I am sure this person has a bunch of new followers on X. Granted most of them are trying to build a criminal case against him for further profoundly dumb posts but still. All publicity is good publicity
Somehow, I imagined this conversation between mr. jeeniuz and the feds:
“It’s not bombs, officers, it’s just my MJ stash!”
“Oh, so you’re drug trafficking”
“Ye-NO!”
