One Florida security guard is learning that threatening to kill the President of the United States is no laughing matter. Chauncy Lump, 26, of Fort Lauderdale is facing federal charges threatening to kill President Donald Trump in a Facebook Live video, WPTV reported.
A day after a U.S. airstrike killed top Iranian general Qassem Soleimani, Lump went live on Facebook under the name “BlackMan vs. America” saying:
“He killed my leader, please tell me where is Donald Trump?” and “I need to find the Donald because if I don’t find him, I am going to have to blow up Broward County,” He also said, “He killed my leader, and I have to kill him. I am ready for Donald. I am ready.”

In the video, Lump was wearing a towel wrapped around his head like a turban, white cream on his face and a shower curtain wrapped around his body. He waved a loaded AK-47 semi-automatic gun at times, which was determined to be legally owned according to the New York Daily News.
“Do not play with me, I have AK-47, l have it here, do not play with me, okay,” Lump said, adding “the Feds are watching. I am not afraid of the Feds.” Lump also threatened to go to West Palm Beach, where Trump was staying at his Mar-a-Lago estate just an hour away.
Lump was arrested after a Facebook employee reported his video to the Broward County Sheriff’s Office, KTLA 5 reported. When authorities came to his house he said the video was a joke, but he was charged with the federal crime of “knowingly and willfully making threats to kill and inflict bodily harm upon the president of the United States.”
His bail has been set at $100,000. He is scheduled to appear in federal court today.
