Trump praises and encourages acts of violence

[FGB]

That is true.

Can't argue with that.

Whatever you think of Biden and the Democrats, trying (and succeeding) in stopping a rally is against democracy.

Those involved should be ashamed of themselves. That is NOT the freedom that GIs fought and died for.

Now they tell us, after all the campus shout-downs, the cancellations, the threats of violence to silence aayone to the right of the Gang of Four...it's suddenly bad form to shut down political speech.

It is, whoever does it, and in the US the hatred seems to be growing.

Respect for your opponents seems to be a thing of the past.

It is happening in UK universities too, and that is worrying.

Thousands Of Storefront Businesses Boarding Up Locations as a Precaution Against Trump Supporters Rioting

Leading up to the election, President Donald Trump has repeatedly suggested that he will refuse to participate in a peaceful transition of power in the event he loses to former Vice President Joe Biden. In a Friday tweet, Trump suggested that the only way Biden could become president would be if the Supreme Court intervened to "make such a ridiculous win possible."

The Biden campaign has signaled that if it wins, “the United States government is perfectly capable of escorting trespassers out of the White House.”

In the crosshairs of what may be a struggle over the result of the election are the country’s thousands of storefront businesses.

“Many have (and will be) boarding up locations or relying on other safety precautions — normally methods that are reserved for severe weather incidents (hurricanes, floods),” Tom Buiocchi, CEO of the facilities software company ServiceChannel, said in an email. “But now also for the social unrest throughout the summer of 2020 and in preparation for the upcoming national election.

The first Amendment does not protect threats, violence, or acts of intimidation. Nor should it! Pretty sure ramming someone’s car would not be covered under your first amendment rights either. Even threatening to do so, or openly encouraging others to do so, is still very much a crime. The political ideology of either side would not likely be considered in most US courts.

Trump praises and encourages acts of violence

Domestic terrorist Cesar Sayoc mailed pipe bombs to Congresswoman Maxine Waters, Senator Kamala Harris, former U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder, actor Robert De Niro, former U.S. President Barack Obama, former U.S. Vice President Joe Biden, U.S. Senator and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton as well as other public figures who have been critical of Donald Trump.

Much more recently, a group of right-wing terrorists who call themselves the Wolverine Watchmen plotted to kidnap Governor Gretchen Whitmer of Michigan and ignite a “civil war”.

And more recently still, a group of armed criminals stalked a campaign bus that was in Texas to promote Joseph Biden’s candidacy. They used pickup trucks to box in the campaign bus and tried to force it off the road. They also rammed an SUV that was traveling with the campaign bus.

All of these incidents have at least one thing in common. Trump has repeatedly and publicly attacked the victims of these crimes, calling them things like “crooked” “tyrant”, “human scum”, and “an enemy of the American People.”

Trump refuses to condemn hate groups and domestic terrorists like the ones listed above and instead encourages them, like when he tweeted, “I LOVE TEXAS” after armed criminals in Texas attempted to force the Biden bus off the road.

America has always had racists, theocrats and right-wing extremists. Trump uses incendiary rhetoric and posturing to incite these people and trigger them into committing acts of violence and terror.

Trump validates the irrational hatreds and fears of America’s extremists. Trump even promotes conspiracy theories to rile them up and urge them into greater acts of violence and recklessness. Trump’s dangerously irresponsible rhetoric has served to incite those who have taken Trump’s words as a sort of permission to do what they’re doing.

Trump has a talent when it comes to triggering right-wing extremists and his accomplices over at Fox “news” give him a bullhorn through which through which he can reach millions of extremists and trigger as many of them as possible.

Trump praises and encourages acts of violence and domestic terrorism in the United States of America. Why has he not been arrested and charged for this? Are we seriously saying that Trump is somehow above the law and that he can seriously commit any crime he wants without facing any legal consequences whatsoever?

And yet Seattle, Portland, PA are burning.

Yeah.

We be meanies!

 

[nowisthetime]

The terrorist has been identified, he's one of those Texan Trumper Latinos. Texas Latinos are a different breed from the ones in Cali and New York. Many of them want to "prove something" and go harder than the typical Trumper redneck.

His old terrorist ass is so stupid, throwing his life away for some rich fat piece of crap who could not give a shit about him. Trumpers are stupid and evil. Hope they throw the book at him and make an example out of him and the other thugs. I would wish more in him in prison, but that would get me banned. Sick of these terrorists.

Trump Promotes Political Violence

US President Donald Trump openly promoted people carrying out political violence on his behalf Sunday ― two days before the election ― in comments defending his supporters in Texas who dangerously swarmed a campaign bus for Democratic opponent Joe Biden.

The president tweeted Sunday evening in response to reports that the FBI has launched an investigation into an incident Friday where a caravan of Trump supporters surrounded a Biden campaign bus in Texas, nearly driving it off the stretch of highway between Austin and San Antonio.

“In my opinion, these patriots did nothing wrong,” Trump tweeted. “Instead, the FBI & Justice should be investigating the terrorists, anarchists, and agitators of ANTIFA, who run around burning down our Democrat run cities and hurting our people!”

It should be noted that “Antifa” is not an actual organisation but a rather shortened term for anti-fascism; the “terrorists, anarchists, and agitators” the president is referring to are Americans protesting systemic racism and police brutality; and that Trump’s supporters have been the ones driving in caravans across the country to disrupt, harass and intimidate people who don’t follow the president.

Didn't happen. Get off it.

 

[BoyNextDoor]

So are major metro areas boarding up their downtowns in expectation that the MAGA crowd is going to riot?

ha-ha...no. It's the psychotic Left again.

No. The rural areas are.

A lovely fairy tale. I'm in Trumpland, and it's quiet and peaceful here. Meanwhile blue town are being turned into war zones.

I’d consider that to be harassment. Would you feel ok being “escorted” around by that many vehicles full of armed antifa? What other intent could be proved here? This is obviously an attempt to intimidate, and drown out the voices of those they disagree with. Completely antithetical to the principles of free speech under the first amendment.

The uneducated love violence. It's their last hope.

The polling was wrong in 2016 because polsters didn't give enough weight to the less educated, who obviously voted for Trump.

Remember acts of violence like these from Trump supporters the next time a Republican like Ann Coulter tries to tell you that the Republicans are the Party of Law and Order or that the Democrats are the Party of the loud and angry mob.

There's no law preventing cars from driving near buses, princess. They're on public roads.

 

[Tigersman]

The FBI isn't going to have a hard time identifying the driver of the black pickup who rammed the Biden follower. He's the same one who drove into a Black Lives Matter crowd in San Antonio in June. He even bragged about ramming the Biden follower on social media.

 

[StrictMiss]

Black WWII GIs didn't get GI Bill benefits. Want to talk about freedoms?

Whatever you think of Biden and the Democrats, trying (and succeeding) in stopping a rally is against democracy.

Those involved should be ashamed of themselves. That is NOT the freedom that GIs fought and died for.

Stay the fuck away from BLM rallys then.

Glad you're staying in Trumpland.

Fine here in downtown NYC. Plenty to do. Everybody wearing masks. Great restaurants, libraries (buildings where can read books and even take them out!), wonderful doctors, beautiful people, toilets, running water, etc.
