South Florida woman, Angry Patriot Hippie on social media, arrested after FBI death threats

Part of what she said, and what the FBI noticed, was that she would shoot any agent if they showed up at her home.

According to the arrest statement, on January 16, 2021 the FBI received an online tip from the National Threat Operations Center that a woman, later identified as Kaye, claimed she was on Capitol Hill on January 6, 2021.

The FBI found that Kaye was using Facebook and two other online social media platforms, Instagram and TikTok.

Two FBI agents contacted Kaye and said they were interested in interviewing her about her trip to Washington, DC. She denied being in the area, but said she knew people who traveled there.

Days after the agents’ call, Kaye uploaded a video, according to the FBI, with the caption “(Expletive) the FBI!”

In the video, she announced that she received a call from the FBI asking about her trips to Washington.

She then told the public that she would not speak to the FBI without a lawyer and that “she would exercise her second amendment right to shoot her (expletive a **) if you come here.” FBI agents said Kaye uploaded the video to Facebook, Instagram and TikTok.
