A Republican Member Of Congress Threatened To Kill Armed Demonstrators In A Facebook Post

https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/salvadorhernandez/republican-clay-higgins-facebook-post-threat-armed
Facebook removed a post from a Republican member of Congress representing Louisiana on Tuesday in which he threatened demonstrators against police violence, suggesting he would shoot and "drop any 10 of you where you stand" if they took to the street armed.

"If this shows up, we'll consider the armed presence a real threat," Rep. Clay Higgins, a former law enforcement officer, posted Tuesday on his personal, verified Captain Clay Higgins Facebook page along with a picture of an armed Black militia group that has protested the police killings of Breonna Taylor and George Floyd. "We don't care what color you are. We don't care if you're left or right. If you show up like this, if We recognize threat... you won't walk away."

After all, he’s a Congressman, and I’m just a schmuck.

if you're white militia armed to the teeth, be real, you know you would say white is right. Just like those pigs in Kenosha.

Those fools think they got all the guns. Or maybe they know they don’t it’s why they cheer a disturbed child killing for them. Cowards and fools

And by “them” I mean “white”.

Friend of mine is far Reich. Sends me “those” shitty emails we all get. Told him one time after some shooting in the south, that I emailed the pastor (black) in that area to take his entire congregation to town hall and apply for concealed/open carry permits. (Just for the visual effect. Or for real.)

He was shocked I did that!

Me: “Why? I thought you believed in the 2nd Amendment. Or do you think it only applies to people like you?”

Back in April he was defending the nutfucks with guns in the Michigan state house for demonstrating their “constitutional rights”. I reminded him what Reagan did as soon as the Black Panthers showed up in the Capital building armed (openly) to the teeth.

The Mulford Act shit through the Calif. state legislature to be signed by Reagan in all of in 115-days!

And the NRA...? (Not a word....)
