Infamous White Nationalist, Former Senate Candidate Arrested On Kidnapping Warrant | Talking Points Memo

Better still, who employs these guys?
Who stays married to these guys?
And would he be one of those fine persons that red flag laws were written for, or would he have to have killed his wife before someone decided he needed a mental eval?

Funny how armed white guys so often seem to come out of encounters with law enforcement without a single shot being fired. In many prisons he’d probably be greeted with open arms. Asylum?

And with climate change those whirlwind events will become more frequent and intense.

Christopher Wray, the FBI Director, actually talked about right wing domestic terrorism being a serious threat. Thank goodness he’s taking it very seriously, even if Trump and Miller are not.

And, as you mentioned, actually getting results.

Not all are in Florida, don’t forget Matt Shea from Eastern Washington state, and fine upstanding people who think he’s their kind of leader.
So Florida may be their homeland, but those whirlwinds have scattered a few around the country.

On the radio he is totally nuts. (We can’t see whether he is brandishing a firearm, but I wouldn’t argue he isn’t.)

Do you remember that early in the Obama Administration, DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano released a report that concluded that the biggest terrorist threat to the country came from domestic right-wing extremists? And that Republicans immediately went completely nuts over that conclusion? They of course thought of this as the prelude to mass confiscation of their precious guns. I was afraid she was going to have to resign. She didn’t, but I think the report’s conclusions had to be deep-sixed. If it had been taken more seriously by the Powers That Be in Washington, maybe we wouldn’t be having mass killings seemingly every week now.

It’s really surprising that a guy calling himself “Augustus Sol Invictus” is a lunatic psychopath asshole. Shocking, actually. I mean who could have predicted that?

Perhaps a timely GoFundMe page could have mitigated Mr. Gillespie’s economic anxiety, such that he wouldn’t have felt compelled to kidnap his wife at gunpoint or scribble about “biological reality.”
