    Snake choked on its own tail today.

    Fear mongering far right “journalists” terrifying fragile old, broken white men until they threaten the president’s life constantly. Then the FBI knocks on their door in seemingly valid response and the fragile, frightened old man likely comes to the door with a loaded AR-15, a grenade belt and a blue lives matter t-shirt. His heroes in law enforcement, who are at the same time infallible super beings and complicit traitors tell him to drop the weapon, he refuses… And no more Walter.

    The next day, the same fear mongering far right “journalists” tell the “story” of Walter, an innocent martyr, silenced by the JOE BRANDON!

    Con artists and cowards.

    Haha the far right have been threatening to kill liberals for a few years now and are itching for an real civil war. Most of the threats I read about are made in their Telegram channels, but they all say how they’re stocking up on guns and ammo and waiting for the go-ahead.

    Some reich-winger’s tweet quoted in the article:

    There has been no claim that this individual fired on FBI agents, or even that he was armed at the time of the fatal altercation today. Apparently a giant squad of militarized personnel was incapable of apprehending a 75 year old man without gunning him down on his doorstep.

    In Buffalo, a 75 year old man who was trying to turn in lost property during a protest; the police shoved him to the ground so hard that he was bleeding from his head, but they just stepped over his body. Breonna Taylor was sleeping when cops raided the wrong apartment. Charles Kinsey was shot lying facedown in the street with his hands in the air while trying to protect his autistic patient.

    They’re fine with all the other “poor outcome” police shootings in this country, they only get upset and fearful when one of “their own” is shot.

        I get what you are trying to say, but she wasn’t sleeping at the time of the shooting. No need to rely on misinformation to here. The truth is damning enough for police.

        Edit: In case y’all need proof.

        Courier Journal: Louisville Local Newspaper, Left Leaning

        Claim: Taylor was shot while she was asleep in bed

        Various social media posts and media reports have said Louisville police gunned down Taylor as she was asleep in bed.

        Commonwealth’s Attorney Tom Wine played partial recordings of police interviews with Walker during a May 22, 2020, news conference in which Walker told police he and Taylor were watching a movie in bed — it was “watching them more than we were watching it,” he said — when they heard a loud bang at the door, scaring both of them.

        Walker said he initially thought it might’ve been Taylor’s former boyfriend, but there was no response when Taylor twice called out, “Who is it?”

        Then, Walker, saying he was “scared to death,” grabbed his legally owned handgun.”

          getting your door kicked in by a gang of cops about to shoot you to death tends to wake a person up

          what misinformation?

            “Breonna Taylor Was Asleep.” Yes, she was asleep the night/morning of the shooting. No, she was not asleep when she was shot.

            She was gravely wronged, and what happened is entirely inexcusable. However, statements that confuse people on the facts of the situation do not help the cause.

            Edit: It seems my memory was faulty, per Walker’s statement, they were watching a movie in bed when police came to the door.

      A 75-year-old with a gun IS Trump’s base, and is just as dangerous as a teenager with a gun. Possibly more so because of the sheer delusions this voting base has. Who wants to guess as usual the the alt right is downplaying yet another terrorist event on their side.

    Far right figures will always claim this and stoke stochastic terrorism. So go vote in 2024. Actually, go vote in every local election. We got a lot of terrorism fixing to do.

        If that’s true, why the heck aren’t more people making a big deal about that?? The Left should be taunting these clowns with that fact.

          I could be wrong, but I first read it on reddit. When the story first broke, I heard that he went on Truth social to make his threats. Someone or someoneS on the site reported his threats because they were direct assassination threats on Biden… Then he was served with the notice of being under surveillance and then he just dug his heels in, making more threats. The FBI then got a warrant and tried to serve itz while being met with this looney and his guns… So he was ‘taken care of’.

    These fucking police worshippers couldn’t get the point if they literally ran into it instead of the figurative they do constantly.

    Orwell on Hitler:

    It is a pathetic, dog-like face, the face of a man suffering under intolerable wrongs. In a rather more manly way it reproduces the expression of innumerable pictures of Christ crucified, and there is little doubt that that is how Hitler sees himself. The initial, personal cause of his grievance against the universe can only be guessed at; but at any rate the grievance is here. He is the martyr, the victim, Prometheus chained to the rock, the self-sacrificing hero who fights single-handed against impossible odds. If he were killing a mouse he would know how to make it seem like a dragon.

    Like the cop who beats up his wife, then cries because she made him do it, and convinces himself he’s really the victim of the whole debacle.

    well, if they’re shifting the definition of “conservative” to what others call a “domestic terrorist who made death threats against the President and then had a shootout with the FBI rather than surrender,” then yeah, those people should watch out.
