RapidcreekTrump Floats the Idea of Executing Joint Chiefs Chairman Milley
This is what happens when you don’t bring the fucking hammer down on violent authoritarian fascists. Who has to die to make it clear that this sack of shit needs to be bound and gagged while his trial proceeds?
Its crazy how much leeway he is getting. Back during the Bush years a guy in my town had a hang bush sign on a cardboard cutout of him hanging from a tree. The dude was arrested and held for "terrorist threats." The same was not true of similar threats made toward Obama. This was in liberal western Washington. The fascists have always gotten handled with kid gloves in this country and it seriously needs to be addressed if we have any hope of coming out the other side.
Do you have a source for this? I’m not saying you’re lying, that’s just pretty flagrant 1A abuse and I’m curious to read more
I don't, it was back in like 2002-3 and the local paper doesn't have their archives up anymore. He ended up having the charges dropped, but months later.
I remember hearing warnings about things like this in the early 2000s,but I never witnessed anything. Post 2001 was a strange time.
So @BolexForSoup was correct in their assumption? 1A abuse?
OTOH, I would think that sort of speech is covered by laws threatening government officials?
