Unfortunately there's no real way to identify him from the profile, but this guy's almost certainly just a harmless troll. His profile has zero identifying info and is clearly intended to be a harassment account. (literally the only post he's ever made is a sign saying "Support Your Local ICE Raids") A clear hallmark of a troll is just an account made for a clear and obvious purpose: aggravating you. The name "Frank Rizzo" is the same as [this](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frank_Rizzo) Frank Rizzo who did things like urging supporters to "vote white", decreasing black people hired as part of the police force, raiding the Black Panther Party, general police brutality and racism, etc. A common thing trolls will do is take the name of a historical figure that somewhat aligns with the ideologies they're trolling about, and using that name or a variation of it. If he actually intended to kill your family, he wouldn't have given you **advance warning** so you could prepare, and if he *was* local and was just stupid enough to do so, he probably **would have shown up already.** Trolls incredibly frequently will just say anything they can to make you either angry or afraid, death threats included. I'm not necessarily saying there's **no** threat here, but it seems to me like just a guy making a deliberately inflammatory account, using data brokers to get freely available information because you annoyed him a bit, then saying what he can to make you angry and afraid because that's why he made the account in the first place. Edit: to clarify, I'm not trying to make light of the situation at all, I just think personally this seems like a lot of troll accounts I've seen before.

I hate to say it, but I absolutely guarantee the law will do nothing but show up afterwards and pick up the pieces. If he does decide to get his fat ass off the couch and come get you, you’ll have to handle him yourself.

Unfortunately I can't do much with just that. Keep a gun close, add some cameras, but otherwise this person is probably just a POS troll.
