A man from Florida has been taken into custody for unleashing racially charged and terroristic threats online. He described himself as a “protector of white people” and a “violent felon” who targeted critics of former President Donald Trump and journalists, labeling them as “enemy combatants,” according to law enforcement.

Michael Maguire, aged 64, allegedly threatened CNN reporters on YouTube, stating “I will 86 on sight,” a slang term for eliminating someone, and identified them as “active shooters,” as per an arrest affidavit from Volusia County, which was accessed by Law&Crime on Monday.

In another post dated November 1, purportedly on YouTube, Maguire allegedly declared, “I’m here to protect the white people.” He further claimed, “I’m not a keyboard warrior, (I’m) a violent felon and inmate that’s now free.”

The Volusia County Sheriff’s Office responded to reports of these posts, leading to Maguire’s arrest on November 18 for issuing written threats to harm or kill. Following his rearrest on Thursday, authorities filed a terrorism charge against him on Friday.

According to the arrest documents, Maguire’s threats included gruesome intentions such as wanting to take people’s heads “off” as trophies, while he also targeted Jewish and Muslim communities with his threats.

Volusia County deputies worked with the FBI National Threat Operations Section to track down Maguire, who served time in prison for attempted murder, and take him into custody last month using his IP address. In several different posts, Maguire allegedly threatened CNN and BBC reporters while declaring them enemies of the United States and the president. Trump has previously sued CNN, a case which was later dismissed, and has recently threatened to sue the BBC.

“As an American, I perceive the actions of the BBC as an act of war against the president and against the people of the United States of America,” Maguire said, according to his arrest affidavit. “You are a foreign enemy. Any BBC reporter I run across in the United States will be treated as an enemy combatant…… you fill in the rest, but I’m out for blood you motherf—ers.”

Describing his criminal past, Maguire allegedly wrote, “Caught those two attempted murder charges for shooting a confidential informant and his mother-in-law.” His girlfriend confirmed to authorities that he was a convicted felon who did time for shooting an informant in Seminole County.

Online records show that Maguire was released from prison in 2019 after serving a 10-year sentence for attempted first-degree murder and attempted second-degree murder.

Describing himself as a “Walmart vigilante,” Maguire wrote on Nov. 2 that he didn’t want to “be nice anymore” toward people of color, according to his arrest affidavit.

“F— everybody,” Maguire allegedly said. “You’re gonna see some … John Wick s—.”

On Nov. 15, Maguire allegedly wrote, “The purge is finally here. … Blood, and guts and gore everywhere.”

After being arrested in November, police said Maguire was informed that his YouTube comments “concerned” some people. He told cops, “They should be concerned,” according to the affidavit. He allegedly referred to his statements as “political speech” and accused the officers arresting him of “trying to kill President Trump.”

Maguire was being held Monday without bail and is due in court for his arraignment on Dec. 11, according to online records.
