Right Wing Death Threats

OMG read this thread from Eric Swalwell:



I was looking for a place to put the story about the guy from California who was driving cross country with an AR 15 etc. to assassinate Joe Biden and Fauci. I think it should go here. But read the whole Swalwell thread.

Swalwell playing the nice guy from the Midwest (he was raised there) to elicit lots of information from this guy was very well done. And getting him to admit that he was radicalized by Joe Rogan and Tucker Carlson was the cherry on top.

I'm not the brainiest of brains, but even I could tell he was digging for information, not just chatting. When he said, "Is that Jeremy Marshall Construction," LOL.

The problem is how does law enforcement distinguish keyboard warriors from genuine death threats before something happens? There's a lot of people willing to say stuff.

I thought that a keyboard warrior making death threats is still a crime.

I would have thought so at one time but since it's fine to shoot an unarmed person three more times after he's been shot down, not so sure anymore.

I hate reading the truth sometimes. That's true, but I hate that it's true. Shit. :mad:

'Course, only true if'n you is a white boy, which I was forced into but it hasn't been so bad, mostly embarrassing.

"We are here at a committee to look a virus now that has killed nearly 900,000 people. And the purpose of the committee was to try to get things out, how we can help the American public. And you keep coming back to personal attacks on me" -- Fauci to Rand Paul

Fauci notes that Paul's attacks on him result in death threats against him and family as Paul looks on expressionlessly. Fauci also notes that Paul is fundraising on his unhinged attacks on him.

Let’s never forget how hysterical Rand was about the baseball shooting and the drama when his neighbor beat the shit out of him. So when Rand is in danger the world is coming to an end. When he incited people to kill Fauci it’s no big deal. Typical Ayn Rand follower idiocy.

And against my position about violence, the world would be better off if his neighbor had finished the job. YMMV

Also when some protestors followed and yelled at him.

Rand Paul is a self serving fraud, liar, opportunist and a hypocrite, just like his father.

The one good thing I can come up with for him being in the Senate is that at least that way he isn't endangering the eye health of some poor innocent. You know, the Orly Taitz effect.

Texas Man Arrested for Alleged Threat to Kill Georgia Election Official Day Before Trump Capitol Riot

https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/business/mo ... t_DFWBrand
A Texas man was arrested Friday for allegedly posting a threat to kill a Georgia election official and other officials just days after then-President Donald Trump pressured Georgia's secretary of state to "find" votes that could reverse his loss to President Joe Biden.

The case against 54-year-old Chad Stark of Leander, Texas, is the first criminal prosecution filed by the U.S. Department of Justice's Election Threats Task Force, which was formed last June on the heels of widespread baseless claims by Trump and his allies of election fraud.

:snippity:

In the message, Stark allegedly wrote, "Georgia Patriots it's time for us to take back our state from these Lawless treasonous traitors. It's time to invoke our Second Amendment right it's time to put a bullet in the treasonous Chinese [Official A]."

"Then we work our way down to [Official B] the local and federal corrupt judges," Stark wrote, according to an indictment.

"We need to pay a visit to [Official C] and her family as well and put a bullet her behind the ears," Stark allegedly wrote, just a day before a mob of Trump supporters invaded the U.S. Capitol in a fury over false allegations that Trump had lost to Biden due to ballot fraud.
