Trump calls protesters who carried guns into the Michigan state capitol 'very good people' and says

[bomberfox]

They don't have the authority to take them on.

The states definitely do .

Black Panthers were protesting with guns in '67. Governor Reagan then signed the Mulford Act. Yes, the race card is very appropriate, here.

In '08 all that was needed (besides being black) was a couple of sticks.

 

[Taylor]

Why are they carrying then? The threat of violence or intimidation is a form of violence in itself.

They are protesting because they think their constitutional rights are being infringed.

 

[apdst]

The states definitely do .

I was referring to the state governments.

Nothing the hard right loves more than violent militias.

Did they open fire?

Carrying a gun in public isn't a threat.

 

[beefheart]

'Looks like they couldn't get laid at the 'chicken ranch' with a hundred dollar bill taped to their foreheads with a chicken under each arm.

They couldn't get laid at a women's prison with a box full of pardons...

 

[CaughtInThe]

Let's hope that most of them are too old and out of shape for a sustained conflict. Perhaps yelling hell yeah at the fox while eating doritos will satiate their revolutionary aspirations for the most part.

they're not gonna start a war. they just want to feel tough.


a few crazy ones may do the terrorist thing or attempt assassinations though. like Timothy.

 

[BWG]

No violence yet. Thing is, it's intended to intimidate and intimidation provokes violence. What's your first reaction to an attempt to intimidate you?

It's imitation, pure and simple. The ol' robbery with a finger in the pocket, do you really think the thief wants you to be afraid of a finger in his pocket? :screwy

 

[trixare4kids]

Trump called the MI. protestors good people just as he would call those who protest their protests good people if push came to shove.

Too bad the political hacks are never going to get that...

 

[Bodi]

So in demanding people wear masks they are demanding every are ******s and chick ****s, little scared wannabe tough guys?

Your point is your intense opposition to anyone wearing a mask, correct?

They have guns so why are they scared of the corona virus? Hypocrites... all of them.

 

[Michael Cole]

Over all my years, I can honestly say that none of the gun owners I've been around ever strutted around with with guns to either show off of make up for their lack of manhood. I absolutely agree that these bullies are weak and pathetic, they do need to be in a crowd of like-minded punks, or display their guns to feel like men. Well, surprise, surprise....they are a much of a man as the manchild in the white house....all pathetic losers and America's trash.

Take out some of the trash in November and vote Democratic!

Agree wholeheartedly, but why put all that gear to waste? Maybe they'll become comic book heroes.

Trump has never called anti-Trump protesters good people. Never gonna happened. Unless you were being sarcastic, of course.

Carrying a gun in public isn't a threat.

Ah, so there was no threat behind them carrying? It was jyst for fun.

 

[rocket88]

Did they open fire?

It is a threat. Unless you're also going to say it was just for fun.

 

[Bum]

It is a threat. Unless you're also going to say it was just for fun.

That was not my question.

However, I will add this to my initial question as well.....were firearms pointed at anyone?
Did the protestors lock and load on anyone?
Were any of the firearms taken to ready arms?

 

[rocket88]

They are protesting because they think their constitutional rights are being infringed.

That wasn't the question. Why do they need to be armed ? People protest things all the time without waving around weapons.

 

[rocket88]

That was not my question.

However, I will add this to my initial question as well.....were firearms pointed at anyone?
Did the protestors lock and load on anyone?
Were any of the firearms taken to ready arms?

So they weren't meant for intimidation?

If i were to go to a bank, demand all the money while waving around a gun, that woukd be totally non-violent, right?

 

[Bum]

So they weren't meant for intimidation?

You should probably ask them.

The biggest threat that I saw was transmission of COVID 19.

Back to my original questions.....

If i were to go to a bank, demand all the money while waving around a gun, that woukd be totally non-violent, right?

Is that what they did?

We generally refer to that as armed robbery......I didnt see that happening; did I miss it?

 

[TomFitz]

To be clear, they're only trying to look violent and tough; having a rifle is their idea of being a man. Pathetic, really.

As far as I know, they haven't been doing any actual shooting or engaging in violence.

They’re probably sitting around in somebody’s garage, drinking beer, giggling over getting their pictures on the internet, and watching DVD’s of “Red Dawn”

Apparently you did miss it. Are the guns not present to imply a threat of violence if their demands are not met?

[devildavid]

Yeah. Their personal image of Trump starts with a delusion of "the left."

- First, they have all long been victims of a deep state, that was created by liberals, who not only control the media, but tricked them into eight years of leadership from a Kenyan Muslim who wanted to make their kids healthier against their will. Out of this corruption they have been oppressed into political correctness, forced to listen to educated minds that contradict their FOX News propaganda, and the idea that the filthy rich don't love them.

Well, they will be damned!

- Along comes an orange overgrown Oompa-Loompa to defy the world's educated and intellectuals. He, having fully recovered from bone spurs, with his massive white steed and his red flowing cape in the sweet liberty-smelling wind, will charge into the fray with sword drawn and a patriotic scream of USA to defend them against those communists, socialists, and Mexican fruit pickers. He, with middle finger raised majestically in the air and directed at all who would dare try to correct and shake them from ignorant bliss, will make Global Warming go away, re-establish the class hierarchy of rich versus plebeian, and give them red hats made in China. He, with anal sheathed magic wand, will snatch our economy away from the black guy and deliver us from absolute misery where clear trend is absent. He, with flowering flatulence aimed into a golden oscillating fan, will conduct foreign policy in a way that will make all the universe bow to our greatness and respect us.


So, as always, they start from a delusion and then commence to **** all over themselves trying to defend one resulting delusion after another.

That's poetry.

Nothing the left fears more than law-abiding citizens with a gun.

And most law-abiding Americans fear and object to gun-toting protesters waving confederate flags.
