Trump Supporters Talk of Rebellion and Assasssination at Rallies---Boston Globe




<snip>And if Trump doesn’t win, some are even openly talking about violent rebellion and assassination, as fantastical and unhinged as that may seem.<snip>

<snip>“If she’s in office, I hope we can start a coup. She should be in prison or shot. That’s how I feel about it,” Dan Bowman, a 50-year-old contractor, said of Hillary Clinton, the Democratic nominee. “We’re going to have a revolution and take them out of office if that’s what it takes. There’s going to be a lot of bloodshed. But that’s what it’s going to take. . . . I would do whatever I can for my country.”<snip>

Dear Mr. Dan Bowman, please leave the light on at the front porch. I believe you'll be getting a visit from the authorities tonight. WHAT A FUCKING DOPE YOU ARE.

I remember during the primaries when all the trolls were posting crap here, and some of then hinted at more than just a political revolution, but one with "pitch forks and torches". There a lot of people who talk big, but when push comes to shove they back down. I haven't seen those tough talking trolls causing any problems, not violent ones anyway. Sure some of them on another site talk big, but that's about it. There was also a lot of this kind of talk when president Obama won the election from the right wing nut cases, and there were some who were thrown in jail for making threats, but for the most it's just talk. I am sure some of them, like the three that were just arrested, will cause some problems, but I think they will be handled by the FBI, and other law enforcement agencies.

Most of those mouthing this nonsense never served a day in the military and never never given anything of themselves for this great country. They only take and take and want even more. Fuck 'em and feed 'em briars, as the old saying goes. Bunch of chicken shit cowards that are nothing bu traitors.
