Also they had a sign advocating the hanging of the governor. These people are violent, exacting what t-rump wants.

Felony assault. Prison time. Hope the cops know who it was.

Hey, NRA! One of yours!

Maybe there’s more to this story, there often is. But swinging a rifle around in public is just a ridiculous danger. Especially the kind of yahoos that have to show up armed to protest a virus.

As long as you are protesting controls over a deadly pandemic, why not haul a rifle around too? Why not inject bleach while you are at it.

I hope Rachel Maddow packs a pistol. I worry about her safety a lot. I fear some fox viewer of carlson, ingerham, or hannity will go after her sometime. I think I read she target shoots, so maybe she is on watch for trump morons packing heat.

Maybe even accidentally. There is no place for guns at a public gathering or protest and these fuckwads are too stupid and irresponsible to have weapons. That might even spark a rash of shootings, but since they are all cowards if someone shoots back they’ll shit their pants and run home to mommies basement. If tRump didn’t have a lot of money he’d be one of them. Maybe that’s the connection he has with them but he’s wealthy enough to have goons to protect him. I wonder what his SS guard think of him?
