Two Men Arrested for Online Shooting Threats at No Kings Protests in Arizona, California

Ahead of the nationwide "No Kings Day" protests on June 14, two men were arrested for making violent threats against demonstrators. Edward Miranda, a 28-year-old from La Quinta, California, was apprehended after posting an online threat to commit a shooting at the Palm Springs rally, with police and the FBI conducting search warrants that uncovered a firearm. He faces felony and misdemeanor charges, and law enforcement emphasized a heavy police presence at the event to ensure safety. Separately, Richard Charles Bertram, 55, from Golden Valley, Arizona, was arrested for posting a social media threat showing guns and ammunition aimed at protesters, while already on probation for weapons charges. Both arrests highlight authorities' commitment to preventing violence during the planned anti-Trump protests, with investigations ongoing and public tips encouraged to maintain security. These measures come amid widespread demonstrations opposing the Trump Administration across multiple states.
