Well, of course he did. Who else would allow him to take off his mask?

(Other than Zuckerberg.)

Why’d I have to read halfway through the article before you informed me this was another “Florida man” story? That shit should be in the headline!

“I Thank God everyday President Donald John Trump is President and that he will launch a Racial War and Crusade to keep [various slurs] and any dangerous non-White or Ethnically or Cultural Foreign group In Line”

What tired, insulting excuses will we hear from Trump enablers?

  1. He was joking
  2. The 1st amendment blah blah
  3. An Obama supporter
  4. This has nothing to do with President Trump

Victim was Floridian, not the defendant. But, fair. I moved it up.

“Nothing will happen to you if you get the Right lawyers,” he allegedly said. “She’s a Spic who Hates White Americans…I doubt the FBI would care much about her.”

Isn’t this Trumpism in a nutshell?

Depressing to know they are out there, but I hate surprises. At least with Trump, we get a clue as to what lurks in the dark. The more overt, the less they can scurry about and make life miserable without repercussions. The fact they are being sought out and at least questioned is great. The more activity from the LEOs provides the sense that they cannot just jump out there and then run away.

Yeah, it’s a little hard for the White House to deny they’re inspiring violent hate crimes when the people they arrest are holding automatic weapons and wearing "I LOVE TRUMP!!!" T-shirts.

I pass on this further piece on the guy making the threats: https://heavy.com/news/2019/08/eric-lin/ He is an Asian guy who is clearly cuckoo for cocoa puffs…

I note this because what I think we are seeing is that large numbers of disturbed people are being activated by Trump, not just racists (see El Paso shooter) but just plain nut jobs like this guy and Cesar Sayoc, another mentally disturbed Trump Supporter. See https://www.npr.org/2019/08/05/748420957/cesar-sayoc-florida-man-who-mailed-bombs-to-democrats-and-media-gets-20-years

I expect this is a trend that will only get worse unfortunately. Its not just Florida, it is the acting out and normalizing of very disturbed things by Trump on a daily basis. Trump is sort of like Manson, someone who crazy people are drawn to.

But hey, things are still sane in the US compared to the Brits.

They seem to be catching these guys at a rate of about one a day lately. But with Trump continuously egging them on, it’s only a matter of time when one of them is able to implement their plans, and it’s going to be very ugly.

Unfortunately, Trump supporters have been gunning down people at a regular clip (and more unfortunately it is an expand magazine).
