Maybe best to imprison and forget him with no fanfare.

But it is scary that they are out there.

County that holds Charlotte, and the crazies grow like weeds. Though there is some more blowback in the nearer suburbs, such as Fort Mill, Mooresville, Indian Trail, Waxhaw, and even Indian Land SC (more of a CDP along US 521 South of Ballantyne).

And yes, the Gas House (Gastonia) western suburb, that held a trump rally this week, is well, stereotypical. In the sense that it's reputation precedes it.

The Leaders of the Republican Party ARE RESPONSIBLE for this! All their damn little Republican rallies and get together events do this damage when they engage in their stunts to 'kill, bury, imprison, etc. etc.' Democratic opponents and leaders. The Republican Party Leaders are inciting this crap and they damn well know they are causing it with their own fascist behaviors!

Just because Republicans cannot handle how everyday people ridicule them and express their desire for them to just drop dead for their ass backwards policies and fraud schemes, doesn't give them the right to urge their radical extremists to go kill Democrats to get even. The only politicians that urge violence against an opponent are the Republicans and the Democratic politicians always urge restraint and only lawful order.
