Husband of Reopen NC leader 'willing to kill people' in resistance to emergency orders

https://www.rawstory.com/2020/05/husband-of-reopen-nc-leader-willing-to-kill-people-in-resistance-to-emergency-orders/

The husband of the woman who leads the Reopen NC movement says people should be willing to kill, if necessary, to resist the “New World Order” and emergency orders imposed by state government to contain the coronavirus pandemic.

Adam Smith posted a string of Facebook Live videos on Facebook on Friday, May 22, 2020 that culminated with a chilling threat.

“But are we willing to kill people? Are we willing to lay down our lives?” he asked. “We have to say, ‘Yes.’ We have to say, ‘Yes.’ Is that violence? Is that terrorism? No, it’s not terrorism. I’m not trying to strike fear in people by saying, ‘I’m going to kill you.’ I’m gonna say, ‘If you bring guns, I’m gonna bring guns. If you’re armed with this, we’re going to be armed with this.’”

A retired Marine who owns a payment-processing company in Burke County, nestled in western North Carolina’s Blue Ridge Mountains, Smith posted four Facebook Live videos over the course of the day while driving his car. Smith said in the videos that he feels called by God and by his understanding of the Constitution to prepare for a violent showdown.

They are willing to kill. And it's for Trump. They're only using this I'll kill to get a haircut for him. It's insane. Thing is, some are crazy killers for real, like that Sayoc guy who sent bombs to cnn and Obama .

Who is this "YOU" you speak of? The police? The military? This idiot is ALL talk and bluster. I hope that bluster gets him investigated.

Go arm yourself to the teeth, please, approach the nearest SWAT team and tell them you are there to lay down your life in a fight against them. Then please slowly lock and load to show them you mean business.

The SWAT team will take it from there.

Your God thanks you for your cooperation!

He's talking about the police. I hope he's just bs-ing, but there's a real anti-cop segment of these crazies.

It is a threat of violence to achieve a political aim by a non-state actor.

It is an open attempt to intimidate people who disagree with him.

Some district attorney needs to come with a charge and make it stick, at least long enough to get the shit-heel off the streets and disarmed.

Law enforcement needs to determine if he's bullshitting or not.

Who in opposition is even going to a stupid open protest?

What’s he yapping a bout?

Ah on edit: is the racist prick referring to the PoC protecting that rep in MI?
