GettyLast summer, as Black Lives Matter protests erupted across the country and the presidential election campaign was in full swing, the FBI in San Diego was keeping a close eye on Grey Zamudio.
Zamudio was part of a Facebook group called Defend East County that had been encouraging and celebrating violence against BLM protesters.
"The only good liberal is a dead liberal," Zaumdio had written, according to an FBI affidavit.
"It's up to vigilantie [sic] militia to crush the liberal terrorists," he allegedly wrote in another post, alongside photos of him in combat gear, and videos of him reloading and shooting guns in the desert.
Zamudio was later charged with owning several unregistered assault rifles and suppressors.
