Trumpanzee calls for "armed conservatives" to shoot protesters at today's WV rally.

https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.rawstory.com/2017/07/trump-loving-gun-nut-calls-on-armed-conservatives-to-shoot-protesters-at-west-virginia-rally/amp/

Police and federal authorities are reportedly investigating a West Virginia man’s social media threats against protesters at President Donald Trump’s upcoming rally.

The president is scheduled to hold a campaign rally Thursday afternoon in Huntington, and one of his supporters warned protesters they would be shot for blocking roads, according to local news website Downtown Huntington.
.....
"Calling all armed conservatives, if we go then we go armed,” Capron posted on his Facebook page. “Not for the rally but for the protesters. Let’s give the protesters what they want … Bring everything you have or can bring.”

“We start with anyone blocking the streets then we clear the protesters once and for all, by any means necessary,” Capron added. “Let’s show them that this is not Commiefornia and we deal with protesters faster.”

Capron’s social media accounts have been deactivated, and Downtown Huntington reported that his Facebook post was under investigation by local and federal authorities, including the U.S. Secret Service and the FBI."...(more)

Wonder how he got his violent FB out when he has been making threats 'for months'???



.................Capron’s social media accounts have been deactivated, and Downtown Huntington reported that his Facebook post was under investigation by local and federal authorities, including the U.S. Secret Service and the FBI.
Report Advertisement

Capron, who claims ties to the III% militia movement, has fantasized online on various websites for months about killing protesters, and he issued a specific threat against filmmaker Michael Moore in a July 1 post on Twitter.

“If Michael Moore wants to rise up, then let us take our arms and rise against him. His death will be sweet,” Capron tweeted, in a cached Twitter post. “Kill them all #zerosympathy.”

His Disqus account shows Capron calling on militia groups to kill anti-Trump protesters.

“Liberal’s don’t own guns, they are all in the dildo movement,” he posted last year on The Federalist website. “I could care less about liberals and their agenda. Shut the f*ck up and start shooting if you all have the balls. Again i’m sick and tired of hearing sh*t from the left.”..................................

But more insidiously, he can have a "campaign" rally and keep out protestors. When he speaks as "president" he has to let everybody in to the arena.

He is a neo Nazi idiot and doesn't like people who prefer peoples' rights, equality, justice.... He assumes in his limited mind set that socialists/commies (CA residents) have these horrid values.

I also like dumping some facts on some of the more Fox News-type rubes in my extended family on those rare occasions when I see them and hear words like Commiefornia:

1. Our divorce rate is lower than almost every red state, despite Jebus hating all of us who live there.
2. Our teen pregnancy rate is much lower than every state in the south.

They hate that, considering we live in such a horrible, godless and evil place.

I like it as well because I'm glad they're terrified of California. It makes me chuckle.

Mostly for home defense or wolves, Like I have mentioned before I live in a very rural area in upstate NY. It would take a minimum of 15 minutes or longer for cops not to mention much longer for our volunteer fire to show up. We take stuff into our own hands around here quite often.

What these idiots have never understood is that gun control doesn't mean you can't own a gun. It just means that there are greater restrictions and regulations of them, the same thing we did to cars, planes, trucks, hazardous chemicals, pollution and many many other things when they started to become a public health hazard. .

thinks "liberals don't own guns" he's sadly mistaken. There's more liberal gun owners that he could ever imagine, but we're RESPONSIBLE gun owners, who don't threaten others, and don't shoot ourselves or family members.

These types are usually social cowards who can't adapt to change. Anything outside of their home county makes them uneasy. That makes them want to kill the people and things they don't understand, which is basically everyone and everything. And I GUARANTEE this guy is hooked on opioids and drinks heavily (the drinks of choice being Purple Passion/Everclear, and the ubiquitous moonshine). There's a pattern these right-wing gun nuts from West Virginia follow. I know that's a brash generalization, but I have "friends who have friends' and I've seen these people up close and in person. I wish I hadn't. I used to think I could reach these people, that I could open them up to a new way of thought. No. Impossible.

Nothing new for the right wing. He just said what everyone else tries to imply without actually saying it. This is what happens after decades of listening to bullshit lying broadcast through AM radio and Fox "news" and hanging out with like-minded idiots. What makes his tantrums dangerous are the guns.... well not the guns alone, but the guns connected to a deluded mind. That's what makes this scary.

They have seen the very few instances of protestors getting violent, swinging bike locks or throwing bottles, at rightwingers and think those provocators are representative of peaceful protests. Then they start salivating at the thought of those few violent ones stepping into one of their carry states just so they can get a chance to shoot them if the provocator gets violent.

I've seen them say things like "I wish those Berkeley punks would try that in so and so state".
