According to the complaint, Perry’s phone was seized, and showed extensive contact with Faye leading up to his arrest.

“Specifically, Faye expressed a desire to travel with Perry and another individual to the U.S. /Mexico border and commit acts of violence,” the complaint stated.

In March 2023, the FBI introduced an undercover agent to Faye on TikTok. After exchanging messages, Faye provided the agent with his phone number for further communication.

On April 1, 2023, three undercover agents met with Faye, in person, along with his two sons. During the meeting, Faye asked if the undercover agents were federal law enforcement.

After confirming that the undercover agents were not law enforcement, he began discussing his beliefs that the government was “training to take on its citizens” and allowing migrants to enter the country to assist them.

      And this is what kills me, dude has a big conspiracy about the goverment attacking it’s own citizens. But it never occurs to him that government agents might lie?

      10,000% chance this dude also had a “Blue lives matter” bumper sticker.

      The quotes from this guy aren’t even full sentences. I wonder these people like Trump. They speak in fragments of thoughts.

      I mean it’s the best thing for police Hollywood has ever done. The inverse is wait 24 hours to file a missing person report.

      That’s high school-level shit right there: “If you ask a cop point-blank, ‘Are you a cop?’, they legally have to answer you, it’s the law!” I don’t know how many times I heard that.
