Sean Michael Albert, 19, waived his preliminary hearing and is now in detention, according to court filings.

According to the complaint, Albert told FBI officials,"that he did not believe his post was illegal," and that it was meant to be"'ironic,' 'satirical,' and 'a joke.'" The firearm used in the photo was taken from a post on another social media site, Reddit, the complaint said.
