As These Protests Move Forward Must Watchful For Possible Violent Backlash From Extemists.

Of course the NRA is an extremist terrorist organization as is the GOP. But that aside as the rhetoric against these kids grows and gets more incendiary we must be prepared for what the worst gun nuts might want to do. Remember the "Mom's" organization was facing armed protest near their meeting and the cops did nothing to interfere with it.

It is not that something will happen, but we must be alert because as this protest movement goes forward and shows signs of having a dramatic effect the worst will come out of the wood work. The RW hate media and Fox is stirring up that base to a frenzy with continued attacks on these students and anyone who even says gun control.

Outside of religion the gun obsession is the most deeply divisive incendiary issue on the table right now. We know the GOP is pretty much ignoring these protests and moving forward on its "open carry" agenda regardless of what anyone thinks. The GOP believes it does not have to answer to anyone but its extremely radical base.

I am glad to see these kids get in their face. But the RW hate machine is on full throttle right now. I do not like what I hear coming from that side.

Just from my own experience with anti gun protests a few years ago, these people will actually harm or kill you. Being surround by a bunch of them during a recall was enough for me. I normally do not get shook, but I was as shook as the time I was nearly killed in Vietnam.

he would call the racists, white supremacists and bigots out right on his show and insult them on the spot. He was very fiery at times. And it was justifiable. Eventually they gunned him down with automatic weapons at his home. I live north of Denver in Westminster and I remember that story well.

It is not that the kids are in any immediate danger. However the rhetoric and attacks will heat up as the movement gains traction. The attacks on these kids right now are pretty robust. If movement toward gun control starts to move any way forward these extremist are going to get more hysterical and unpredictable and Trump is going to stir his base even more when Mueller drops some more indictments.

his 30s and getting paid. Some nut could easily decide to take him out. It doesn't help that he's in Florida.

..... and tr-dump will play up current events to use as a smokescreen to keep attention off of his legal problems and acts of treason. Roiling up the die hard tr-dump base into a frenzy - tr-dump thinks will be his saving grace - the ultimate weapon he has at his instant disposal to save his skin.

Tr-dump will play his rabid junkyard attack dog base to the hilt - lasting social consequences be damned.

He could give a hoot less about Democracy or America.
