Extremists intensify calls for violence ahead of Inauguration Day

"If you don't know how to shoot: You need to learn. NOW."

"we will storm the government buildings, kill cops, kill security guards, kill federal employees and agents, and demand a recount."

In the weeks, days and hours ahead of Wednesday's siege on the Capitol by President Donald Trump's zealous supporters, the warning signs were clear: online posts from hate groups and right-wing provocateurs agitating for civil war, the deaths of top lawmakers and attacks on law enforcement.
And now, as the dust settles and the country struggles to make sense of the violence that left five dead -- including an officer with the US Capitol Police -- experts warn that the calls for violence have only intensified ahead of Inauguration Day, when President-elect Joe Biden will be sworn in as commander in chief.

"We are seeing ... chatter from these white supremacists, from these far-right extremists -- they feel emboldened in this moment," said Jonathan Greenblatt, the CEO of the Anti-Defamation League, which tracks and counters hate. "We fully expect that this violence could actually get worse before it gets better."

3. Let's see if these traitors have the balls to go up against

well trained, heavily armed and well equipped National Guard units and police SWAT teams, along with the Secret Service Special Ops team.

Let's see just how many of these "patriots" would actually stick around when the shooting starts.

Marching around in the woods dressed up and playing soldier is far different from someone actually shooting at you, the only combat most of these traitors know is playing video games like Medal of Honor, Call of Duty, etc, where if you die, you just push the reset button, unlike getting shot by real bullets.
