Trump Fan Threatens To Beat Hillary ‘Like A Man’ Before Shooting Her And Obama

http://winningdemocrats.com/trump-fan-threatens-to-beat-hillary-like-a-man-before-shooting-her-and-obama-screenshots/

One of Trump’s “Deplorables” hopped out of his basket on Tuesday to tell us how he really feels about Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama — specifically that they both need to be hanged and/or shot. Whatever, as long as they’re dead, right? On Twitter, a man identifying himself as John George tweeted that he wants to “bust” Obama’s “muslim mouth big time.”




Mr. George was clear that this was “not a threat,” though it sounds threatening, but let’s give him a free pass on that one. After all, it’s in the rulebook that every Republican can threaten a black man and call him a n*gger once without any repercussions, right? Now let’s look at Mr. George’s Facebook profile. While we’re pretending that his tweet was not in any way a racist threat, his Facebook is filled — mixed among the flood of pro-Trump posts — with threats and other horrible statements about Clinton and Obama....

George describes himself as a “business owner” on Twitter. A Google search for his name pulls up Midland Auto Repair in Columbus, Ohio. A post by his wife in July advertises that they need an “experience mechanic” who is encouraged to call the business “imediatly.”

It is unclear if Mr. George employs any African-Americans who would not appreciate his use of the word “n*gger,” but one thing is for certain — he will be voting in November.


Agent Mike, you know the drill.

experience mechanics. A grammar mechanic and a spelling mechanic would probably fix a lot that is wrong with them after a brain mechanic does an overhaul.

I don't understand how troglodytes like this can get away with threatening a sitting president and a presidential candidate without any repercussions.

. . .do these idiots not realize that potential employers/business clients check their profiles and tweets?
Why give them any reason to either not hire you or do business with you?

I don't think you can just cross your fingers when you say something and be legally relieved of responsibility.

What about that admonition that you can't legally "cry FIRE in a crowded theater" ? Does it become legal if you say, &quot pssst: This isn't a threat or a warning, people, but) -- I smell FIRE! FIRE!! F I R E ! ! ! F IIII R E !!!Run, the place is on F I RE ! ! !" . . . ?

See, I think not. I think that if one makes a plausible threat and then says "just joking" that probably doesn't make it okay. It is for a court to decide. But the court can't decide until the authorities pick him up and charge him. Or are we doing citizens arrests now? Maybe reporting it to the authorities would be the best course. Let them investigate. Of course, multiple such reports might encourage them to do so...

he made multiple threads about physically attacking "demoncrats" and i don't think we should let this go. let's use the power of strength in numbers and overwhelm twitter until they have no choice but to ban him. when you report, report that "They're being harmful or abusive" then "Threatening violence or physical harm" then that the abuse is targeted at "Someone else"

twitter then lets you select 5 tweets as evidence. there are plenty of threatening tweets to choose from. Make sure you also include the threat tweet referenced by the OP. might need to scroll down a bit to find it.

... a "redneck" bar not far from me a few years ago. I "blacked out" (knocked out) after leaving the place and woke up with a HUGE bump on the back of my head and a bloodied/bruised face.

I shared the story here:

His tweets aren't much different than what some lunatic said to me inside a bar a few years ago. This is what happened: http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=8231794
