Of course they are. Their entire political ideology is based on fear. They know their voters are cowards, and they need them to remain that way. If they can be property scared, they can be properly controlled.
Orwell on Hitler:
It is a pathetic, dog-like face, the face of a man suffering under intolerable wrongs. In a rather more manly way it reproduces the expression of innumerable pictures of Christ crucified, and there is little doubt that that is how Hitler sees himself. The initial, personal cause of his grievance against the universe can only be guessed at; but at any rate the grievance is here. He is the martyr, the victim, Prometheus chained to the rock, the self-sacrificing hero who fights single-handed against impossible odds. If he were killing a mouse he would know how to make it seem like a dragon.
Like the cop who beats up his wife, then cries because she made him do it, and convinces himself he’s really the victim of the whole debacle.
Whatever, they’ve been claiming that for years. They said the Clintons would come kill them because of Waco.
They’re still really sad when Obama took all their guns back in 2012. That’s why Republicans are so insecure, because they don’t have any guns! The government took them all. I think they sent them to Mexico, or something.
Right??
Don’t forget Jade Helm when they knocked all the Conservatives’ doors down and marched them into concentration camps that used to be Walmarts.
I am still traumatized from being in daycare when all those satanists came and we had orgies. Plus that time me and my brother listened to a heavy metal record backwards and we’re told to worship Satan.
And murdered their grandparents with Obamacare.
Authorities killed a terrorist in America
That’s the real headline and you’d think these supposed Patriots would be happy
The guy was going into detail about what it would like to see his victims dying. I haven’t seen info on what exactly triggered the shooting.
One guy pointed out his age and “Why did they need all those cops?”. I don’t care if you are 75, you can still pull the trigger on a semi-auto gun.
These are po dunk cops shooting a dog. These are FBI agents, if they shot him, he pulled a gun on them. They put him under surveillance. They approached him in public and asked to talk to him. Guy went angry old fuck on them and told them to come back with a warrant, so they did. If he was shot and killed, he brought it on himself, by his actions, that warranted being shot and killed.
He was also taunting and threatening the FBI on his social media after he was told that they were monitoring it. Just because it’s online doesn’t make it not a threat. You’re 100% right and I don’t understand how anyone doesn’t see this.
“Just try to take me coppers!”
Or any gun generally
He pointed a gun at the FBI agents serving a warrant. This was not an execution, it was an old white guy who’s never had his privilege checked before.

Far right figures will always claim this and stoke stochastic terrorism. So go vote in 2024. Actually, go vote in every local election. We got a lot of terrorism fixing to do.
We need to do more than just voting
It is amazing how they are always the badass and victim in their own story.
Some FCC licensed corporate shill expresses a viewpoint slightly to the right of average and at the same time they are a radical freethinker truthteller who is being threatened, censored, and attacked.
Yeah buddy you arent special. You work for the man same as the rest of us. If you cross a line that costs them money they will fire you.
It is amazing how they are always the badass and victim in their own story.
This is fascism. Just pointing it out for everyone scrolling by. Not “everyone I hate is a Nazi”. No, that contradiction is a key part of fascism. We cannot play nicely with those who aren’t intent on even playing the same game.
Snake choked on its own tail today.
Fear mongering far right “journalists” terrifying fragile old, broken white men until they threaten the president’s life constantly. Then the FBI knocks on their door in seemingly valid response and the fragile, frightened old man likely comes to the door with a loaded AR-15, a grenade belt and a blue lives matter t-shirt. His heroes in law enforcement, who are at the same time infallible super beings and complicit traitors tell him to drop the weapon, he refuses… And no more Walter.
The next day, the same fear mongering far right “journalists” tell the “story” of Walter, an innocent martyr, silenced by the JOE BRANDON!
Con artists and cowards.
I mean if you make your intent of murder clear, then yes, you run the risk of authorities killing you while trying to detain you.
I guess its an issue of both motive and opportunity. Dude clearly wasn’t in a position to shoot farther than his front porch.
Guns…don’t really work that way.
The FBI clearly didn’t know that, al they could have known was that he was armed and making death threats.
Damn. What does the “I” in FBI even stand for anyway?
When you greet federal Investigators with a loaded weapon, you’re gonna have a bad time. The world lost nothing notable with the death of Walter whatshisname.
Plenty of chuds said the same thing about George Floyd and Tamir Rice.
I’m less worried about Walter than I am about a couple of FBI guys mowing someone down in their own home on a wellness check.
The goal of a professional police force is not to assassinate people based on some Internet goon’s perceived value of them.
- It wasn’t a wellness check.
- The FBI isn’t a police force.
It wasn’t a wellness check.
So they just went down there to Judge Dredd him?
The FBI isn’t a police force.
:-/
Some states don’t require gun registration so you’d have no idea what is in that house

Dark Brandon, indeed.
The tips to the FBI came from truth social
Haha the far right have been threatening to kill liberals for a few years now and are itching for an real civil war. Most of the threats I read about are made in their Telegram channels, but they all say how they’re stocking up on guns and ammo and waiting for the go-ahead.
Fortunately the relevant authorities are well-aware of the threat.
This commentary is reminiscent of the radical right’s reactions to the Ruby Ridge incident of 1992, an 11-day standoff in Idaho between federal agents and the family of Randy Weaver, a Christian fundamentalist affiliated with the far-right white separatist movement. The standoff resulted in the deaths of Weaver’s wife, son, and a federal marshal.
Dude… Ruby Ridge was a big deal because the FBI shot Randy Weaver in the back while he was lifting the latch to his shed to see his son’s body, and then kept shooting at him as he and his family was running back to his cabin, hitting and killing his wife while she was holding their baby. It was a huge deal for a lot of people, Randy Weaver was found not guilty of any “siege-related charges” and awarded $3 million in damages, and the DOJ extensively revised their policies as a result.
Craig Deleeuw threatened to kill the president, and then according to the FBI and I see no reason to doubt them, was pointing his weapon at the FBI when they shot him. Whatever Randy Weaver did to create the Ruby Ridge confrontation, I don’t think it’s fair to compare the reaction to that to the reaction to this.
Still, the Ruby Ridge and Waco comparisons are frightening. This is where the radical right really started to emerge. There was a great podcast series that I listened to about it. Here it is: Long Shadow (Apple) or Spotify link
The guy that said federal agents wouldn’t dare arrest him “because they’d get a .45 in the face”? He pointed a gun at the FBI?
Say it ain’t so
Keep making direct terrorist threats and watch what happens.
Don’t tolerate the intolerant. That’s how you protect democracy.
