Exclusive: Husband of Reopen NC leader 'willing to kill people' in resistance to emergency orders

Published 2 mins ago on May 24, 2020
By Jordan Green, Special to Raw Story



The husband of the woman who leads the Reopen NC movement says people should be willing to kill, if necessary, to resist the “New World Order” and emergency orders imposed by state government to contain the coronavirus pandemic.

Adam Smith posted a string of Facebook Live videos on Facebook on Friday, May 22, 2020 that culminated with a chilling threat.

“But are we willing to kill people? Are we willing to lay down our lives?” he asked. “We have to say, ‘Yes.’ We have to say, ‘Yes.’ Is that violence? Is that terrorism? No, it’s not terrorism. I’m not trying to strike fear in people by saying, ‘I’m going to kill you.’ I’m gonna say, ‘If you bring guns, I’m gonna bring guns. If you’re armed with this, we’re going to be armed with this.’”

A retired Marine who owns a payment-processing company in Burke County, nestled in western North Carolina’s Blue Ridge Mountains, Smith posted four Facebook Live videos over the course of the day while driving his car. Smith said in the videos that he feels called by God and by his understanding of the Constitution to prepare for a violent showdown.

Lets make this perfectly clear to "all" of the idiots of this Re-Open dogma during a pandemic.......

The Federalist papers does not represent the laws of this country which are papers of what some people thought in deciding to debate and write the final version of what is now the law of the Country, it is called the Constitution and not the Federalist papers for reason.

.... God only knows what other platforms. Reagan is in no small part of this because getting rid
of the fairness doctrine 2.5 generations ago has allowed people like Mr. Smith to be bathed in mis-
information 24/7 for years and years. Science and facts just piss people of like Mr. Smith.

From the story @ the link.

On May 16, Smith showed up clad in a matching camouflage jacket and hat, a black face covering and sunglasses while wielding a high-powered rifle to join a local boogaloo group that has gained national notoriety after photos of armed members ordering food at Subway went viral.


Although his and his wife's publicity might put an end to his business of processing payments. No business will want
to be associated with those nut balls.
