An Armed Extremist Group in Georgia Is Threatening Violence If Stacey Abrams Wins

Ahead of Tuesday’s midterm election in Georgia, an armed militia has threatened violence if Stacey Abrams wins the governor’s race. In a since edited Facebook post, the far-right group III% Security Force Intel referred to the Democratic candidate as a “flag burning, gun grabbing, socialist bitch.” The group mentioned their love for Donald Trump and wrote, “Guns Up!”

Abrams has encountered various racist attacks during her campaign, from offensive robocalls to allegations of vote-hacking. Threats from this armed extremist group now join the list.

Welcome to America.

Let's just hope there isn't any trouble. Then again, I would put more faith in the FBI being on top of that noise, which could end up forcing the governor's hand. You just never know.

Generally I'm a live and let live kind of sort. But you can't share space with these people peacable. They refuse to allow it. At some point it they push a confrontation that requires they be scrubbed from the planet.

Even if you air drop them nekkid into the coldest reaches of the planet they'll figure out how to endanger other people.

They are a death-cult, empowered by our white nationalist president and enabled by a Republican Party that has no objection to the inclusion of these absolute freaks in their circle, as evidenced by either vocal support or stony silence.

I'm very much on edge about tomorrow. How many fascist lunatics are out there, armed to the teeth, just ready to explode, like the evil monster who stormed into the Pittsburgh synagogue?

There's no quick fix for this, but as you say..."scrubbed from the planet." With extreme prejudice.

And the far-alt-white-right gin each other up on social media.

If they keep it up, and there’s nothing to indicate that they’ll stop, they will have to be dealt with. Unless America goes full fascist, then they’re in the catbird seat.

I used to have some faith in Americans, that they had a kind of healthy skepticism about forming clusters of fringe lunatics, like the Heaven’s Gate nuts or the People’s Temple, etc. Now, Americans want to rip into each other, and compromise is impossible.

But under Trump, the Republican Party has become a cult, with its own “reality,” language, enemies on every side who look or think differently, no critical thinking capacities, a leader who’s been elevated to hero status, and so on.

None of this is going to end well for the country. The insane have tasted power, and they will not surrender it quietly.

they will most likely be killed or captured by law enforcement, and rightly so.
After such a scenario, it would mean that the other militia monkeys might act up.

shut this crap down and arrest these 'brave' Facebook posters for their vicious threats against Abrams and any other candidate they decide to hate on. This is another racist bullhorn moment, all of which is inspired by the Trumpster's reckless speeches to his mindless fans.

Disgusting and sick!

Down here we on the left are armed as well. This may not go the the way you think, lol! Honestly I see these kind of yahoos at the rage all the time a 6 pack and phone call from the wife and back home they go! I voted last week for Stacy taking people to the polls tomorrow. I think a run off is most likely however.

and hold our breath until we turn blue and refuse to eat our broccoli. If Stacey wins, all three of us will sniffle and call her a stupid poopie head and say it isn't fair and throw ourselves onto the front porch and scream until everyone can see how mean you are to us. If Stacey wins, all three of us will mail ourselves threatening letters and blame it on her until everybody feels sorry for us"

The FBI is still arresting them.

And once they plead/are convicted they lose their precious guns.

If Abrams they will just get drunk on cheap whiskey and tough talk on their keyboards.

And the dumb fuckers think only right wing nuts own guns? Liberals may not own 50 guns per person but we are also armed. Not that it will be necessary. Law enforcement will handle it quickly. If they try anything they will be either jailed or dead.
