The guy caught on camera saying “I would kill him [O’Keefe]” while shooting rifle bullets through his photo… just got a court order to disarm the guy he threatened.
Police showed up today and confiscated James O’Keefe’s firearms.
This is peak clown world. The threatener gets the gun grab. The target gets disarmed.
Insanity.

Here are the details: Summary of O’Keefe’s Position
• O’Keefe released hidden-camera footage showing Tyrmand saying he would “kill him” (O’Keefe), calling him one of the most evil people he knew, and using a photo of O’Keefe’s book Breakthrough for “target practice” with rifle bullets through the heart area on the cover.
• After the video’s publication, some audience members (third parties) reacted angrily and allegedly made threats or harassing comments toward Tyrmand.
• Tyrmand then filed a “domestic violence stalking” petition in Miami-Dade family court, leading to an ex parte temporary injunction against O’Keefe.
• O’Keefe describes this as a “heckler’s veto”: the court effectively punished or restricted his journalism because of how third parties responded to the protected speech (the reporting), not because O’Keefe or his team directly stalked, threatened, or committed violence against Tyrmand. facebook.com
He has called it unconstitutional prior restraint on the press (1st Amendment) and is appealing, including an emergency interlocutory appeal, while also planning an anti-SLAPP motion for attorney’s fees. thegatewaypundit.com
Court Context
• The judge issued/extended the TRO based on Tyrmand’s petition, finding enough initial basis for “reasonable cause” of fear (standard for temporary stalking/repeat violence injunctions in Florida). Specific details from Tyrmand’s filing aren’t fully public, but O’Keefe’s account aligns with reports that it ties back to the fallout from the published video rather than independent direct threats from O’Keefe.
• Firearm surrender is automatic under Florida law for qualifying injunctions (Fla. Stat. § 790.233), regardless of who made the original threats.
• A full hearing is scheduled for May 11, 2026. O’Keefe also filed his own restraining order against Tyrmand in Palm Beach County. highcountryadvocate.org
