MAN CLAIMS HE'S TARGETING DEMS IF BIDEN WINS

https://www.tmz.com/2020/11/06/mass-shooting-threatening-fbi-lapd-joe-biden-presidential-election/

If Joe Biden wins the Presidency, a man in L.A. says he'll take out Democrats in a mass shooting -- but federal agents reacted swiftly to get the man in custody ... TMZ has learned.

The threat was made in a short video posted Friday on social media -- the man says, "at this point, like if Biden gets in, I'm just gonna do like a school shooter; just take out these Democrats and a few pedophiles on the way out. If I go to hell, I'm taking these motherf**kers with me."

Law enforcement sources tell us a federal task force was aware of the posting and immediately contacted the man in the video. We're told he was taken into custody and placed on a psychiatric hold ... also known as a 5150.

...and enough self-awareness to not broadcast their intentions?

This might be very rough.

Let the morons - with some alcoholic lubrication - announce their inner anti-democratic intents.

The worst of the bunch envision a civil war. They claim that Democracy is mob rule. The think that they are modern day Minutemen who will save America for Christian white men.

The longer the count goes, the tighter they will be wound.
