Attacking an FBI office in Indiana with a nail gun?

[Cyrano]

Trump's crazies have gone off the deep end. (And I don't believe this was someone who was testing a Home Depot nail gun before buying it.)

Let's face it. There's a 99% chance that this attack on the FBI was because of the raid on Mar-a-Lago. And I fear this won't be the last.

When Germany and Japan declared war on the United States, they probably didn't have a clue what they would be facing.

I don't believe our home-grown terrorists are fully aware of what they're facing.

They like to call themselves the "Real Americans." They like to call themeselves "The True Patriots." They like to call themselves "Trumpists."

They are the enemies of our country, our freedoms and our way of life. AND THEY ARE WELL DOWN THE ROAD TO DECLARING WAR ON AMERICA.

Time to end this shit. Time for the rest of us to stop making believe we're not in a Civil War. Time for our government to end these fascist pricks before they can cause any more damage to our country. I have maximum contempt for them and minimum concern for their survival.

They are trying to destroy America. Our patience should be at an end.

1. Yes, and it is past time

for slaps on the wrist for J6 participants. Or the nutjobs threatening any Democratic Senator or Representative.

They need serious time with treason attached to them.

[Eliot Rosewater]

2. They have started a civil war already, the question is will anybody come?

This aint Field Of Dreams, assholes, you better not come.

[Cyrano]

8. The're already here. Where are we?

[Eliot Rosewater]

10. We are still assuming the rule of law will prevail. But we better not get comfortable.

[sinkingfeeling]

3. Ohio,

[KentuckyWoman]

4. Indiana?

I only saw Cincy. Did they hit someplace in Indiana too?

[maxsolomon]

15. Cincy is the Indiana of Ohio

Or something like that

[maxrandb]

19. We always said that Cincinnati was more Northern Kentucky than Southern Ohio

5. A f'n nail gun?

History books will show that the first shot fired in "The Great MAGAt Civil War Failure" will be from gas fired, 50 shot, 16d framing nailer.
Further, the firing safety was bypassed with black electrical tape...

[IjustDontlikeRepugs]

14. You've obviously used a nail gun before lol. Tape on the safety.

He brought a nail gun to a FBI fight.

[IrishAfricanAmerican]

25. I had to tweet that one for you...

6. He had a real gun too. He just lost his nerve.

.

[Nevilledog]

13. Read he allegedly displayed an AR15 like weapon.

I'm thinking there's not a standoff if he only has a nail gun. That this is the lead strikes me as an attempt to minimize the seriousness.

22. It's put as them "exchanging gunfire" in the chase

and "multiple weapons": https://www.politico.com/news/2022/08/11/fbi-building-attacked-in-cincinnati-00051122

Whether he took them inside the building, I don't know, but that seems like he had a working real gun when he was in the car.

7. Close..but it was in Cincinnati.

[spanone]

9. trump lights the fuse.....again.

[brush]

11. Agreed. It time. This clown will be found soon...

after hiding out in the cornfield for hours. Whether it's dead or alive is up to him. The same will happen to any camo-clad, militia group who gets up the nerve to grab their AR-15s to guard against the "tyranical" government.

They'll run around in the field for a week before giving up, exhausted, out of shape and just wanting to go home to mommy's basement.

[Irish_Dem]

12. Unless he is made to stop, Trump will keep demanding violence.

He wants to burn it all down if he does not get his way.

[Cyrano]

16. Exactly. Too few have pushed back against this madman

And worst of all, there are countless Americans who will "follow the orders" of their "Dear Leader."

It's past time to start taking seriously that Trump and his minions want to "own" America. But it's become obvious that MAGA, et. al. are not just trying to disrupt our society. They want to own it.

They must be stopped now. Or we will all be their "property."

[Irish_Dem]

26. Trump is advocating the violent overthrow of the US Govt. He is a threat to nat'l security 24/7.

But he hides behind the First Amendment and his special status as a former president.
And gets away with it.

[SheltieLover]

21. Lock the slob up, remove ruskie assets from our govt & toss these terrorists in cells.

Long past time.

[Irish_Dem]

27. Yep. Time to clean house.

[uponit7771]

23. +1,

[Jilly_in_VA]

17. Nobody ever said

these guys were very bright. Dude wanted to be a martyr like St. Ashli I guess.

[dameatball]

18. Per NNGA: National building contractors to protest 3 day waiting period on nail guns.

[SheltieLover]

20. Lock the slob up, remove ruskie assets from our govt & toss these terrorists in cells.

[AngryOldDem]

24. A nail gun?

The way NPR was talking, the nutter was heavily armed and people were being told not to leave their homes.

Doesn’t matter. This is where we’re headed, and if these morons want war, well, then, be careful what you wish for, idiots.

[NutmegYankee]

28. He also had an AR

He posted on Truth Social just before he went to hell that he thought he had a method to defeat the bullet proof glass, and it didn't work. I guess the nailgun was his plan. Oh well, Satan has a new playtoy...

[eppur_se_muova]

29. Apparently, he thought a nail gun would break bulletproof glass.

He tweeted out something about this -- thought he had a way to get through bulletproof glass, but it didn't work.
