“Pipe Bombs for the VP”: The Man Who Threatened to Turn Disneyland Into a Slaughterhouse While JD Vance’s Kids Were Inside
The “Happiest Place on Earth” was almost the site of the darkest tragedy in American political history.
While families were eating churros and waiting in line for Rise of the Resistance, a 22-year-old Anaheim man named Marco Antonio Aguayo was allegedly on Instagram, promising a bloodbath. His target? Vice President JD Vance. His location? Disneyland.
But the most terrifying detail isn’t the threat itself. It’s the fact that JD Vance was actually there, reportedly with his children, when Aguayo typed the words: “Pipe bombs have been placed… good luck finding all of them on time.”
Federal agents arrested Aguayo this week, charging him with threatening the Vice President. But as the details emerge, we are left with a chilling question: How close did we actually come to disaster? And why did it take six months to put him in handcuffs?
The “Bathe in Blood” Post
The threats were not subtle. They were specific, violent, and immediate.
According to the criminal complaint unsealed Friday, Aguayo posted on Disney’s official Instagram page on July 12, 2025—the very day JD Vance was visiting the park. He wrote:
“It’s time for us to rise up and you will be a witness to it.” “There will be bloodshed tonight and we will bathe in the blood of corrupt politicians.”
This wasn’t a vague political rant. This was a tactical threat made in real-time. He claimed bombs were already planted.He taunted the Secret Service to “find them on time.”
For any parent reading this, the image is nightmare fuel: The Vice President of the United States JD Vance, walking through Fantasyland with his kids, while a man just miles away is publicly announcing his intent to blow them up.
The Baffling 6-Month Delay
Here is where the story turns from scary to suspicious.
The threats were made in July 2025. Law enforcement reportedly visited Aguayo’s home that same day, confiscated his phone, and saw the posts. They knew who he was. They knew where he lived. They knew what he said.
So why was he only arrested and charged now, in January 2026?
Did the Department of Justice let a man who threatened to bomb the Vice President walk free for half a year? Was he under surveillance, or did he just slip through the cracks of a bureaucracy that is overwhelmed by threats?
If Aguayo was “deranged” and “dangerous,” as Attorney General Pamela Bondi claims, why was he sleeping in his own bed for six months instead of a federal cell? The public deserves an explanation. If you threaten to blow up a commercial airliner, you are arrested before the plane lands. Threaten the VP at Disneyland? Apparently, you get a six-month grace period.
The Death of the “Safe Space”
This incident marks the final death of the American “safe space.”
Disneyland is supposed to be a fortress of fantasy. It is the one place where the ugly realities of Washington, D.C. are supposed to stay outside the gates. But in the hyper-polarized era of 2026, there are no gates high enough.
The fact that a would-be assassin (or at least a very convinced terror-troll) saw Mickey Mouse not as a mascot, but as a backdrop for “bloodshed,” proves that the culture war has no boundaries.
JD Vance’s children didn’t sign up for this. They signed up for a ride on Space Mountain. Instead, they became unwitting targets in a disturbed man’s fantasy of revolution.
Only 5 years sentence
Marco Antonio Aguayo faces five years in prison if convicted. Many will say that isn’t enough.
But the real verdict needs to be delivered to the Secret Service and the DOJ. We need to know why the response time for “justice” lagged so far behind the response time for “safety.”
We got lucky in Anaheim. The bombs were (presumably) a hoax. The VP and his family went home safe. But luck is not a security strategy. And next time, the person posting threats might not be doing it for Instagram clout—they might be doing it for real.
