A county Republican leader in the Upper Peninsula is under fire for seeming to suggest in his social media posts there should be a Kent State type of crackdown on violent protests like the one that erupted at a university in California last week.

But in an interview Sunday with the Free Press, Dan Adamini, the secretary of the Marquette County Republican Party, said he apologizes, supports peace and was merely trying to prevent further violence and hatred.

Adamini, 56, tweeted Thursday after violent disturbances at the University of California-Berkleyshut down plans for a senior editor at the far-right website Breitbart to speak on campus.

Violent protesters who shut down free speech? Time for another Kent State perhaps. One bullet stops a lot of thuggery," Adamini tweeted.

1. No apologies. You just condoned an attempted massacre of innocents. You'll burn in hell. nt

[BlueStater]

2. Wannabe thug.

He's too much of a fucking coward to ever actually attack a protester himself, but he'll gladly encourage others to do it.

[ProudLib72]

3. Fuck off and die, asshole!

[Metro135]

4. So he's trying to prevent further violence . . .

by suggesting that people should be shot.

Gee, it makes perfect sense, doesn't it?

[Lulu KC]

15. Exactly what I was going to type.

[Sherman A1]

23. Yup

[Trust Buster]

5. Anyone calling for the assassination of protesters is NOT a "leader" by definition.

[JDC]

6. His resignation would be better received.

[Sherman A1]

24. Agreed

That would be the best thing to come out of this.

[onecaliberal]

7. Resign, disgraceful pos

[lastlib]

8. Just when you think these reptiles can't slither any lower.....

...they surprise you again. What a worthless fuckstain!

[truthisfreedom]

9. Shit-tweeting twatnozzle.

[silverweb]

10. Liar.

[font color="navy" face="Verdana"]He meant what he said in his tweet or he wouldn't have said it. No forced, fake "apology" will change that.

[WinkyDink]

11. He spoke his meaning. The "apology" is the lie.

[Paladin]

12. Further evidence that the RW'ers are starting to realize what trouble they're in.

My Facebook is turning up with more and more unhinged, violence-promoting entries from the hyper-conservative types. Look for more and more of this stuff to appear, as the right-wingers understand how trump is a catastrophe for their movement. Be ready to take advantage of opportunities.

[Turbineguy]

13. The Deplorable American

just says what all the other deplorables are thinking.

[Augiedog]

14. Wonder which of his or his neighbors kids he wants shot first?

[Nwgirl503]

16. He can piss right off

I spent some of my Saturday writing emails to AARP (he's listed on their site) that I'm cancelling my membership along with my son's and our businesses if they don't drop his advertising, his station owners and all the sponsors of his little radio show asome well as the GOP chairs of his county (not that I think they'll care). Plus I emailed him a nice note saying best of luck picking up the pieces of your life since your tweets went viral. His whole twitter was filled with BS.

[AgadorSparticus]

17. What an hypocritical DOUCHEBAG. YOU ARE a thug!! F U Dan Adamini. I hope you rot in hell.

[dalton99a]

18. But but he's such a good Christian:

Dan Amini sings! [/center]
His voice sounds a lot like a kazoo.

[turbinetree]

19. F**k off

did you ever, think about the four families losing there children by national guard.

Did you serve in the military ?

Did you have friends comeback in body bags from Vietnam?

Did you think that men were being "drafted" while you were at home playing with yourself, so people like your RatF**k current leader got a bunion on his toe and hid and got deferments, and "we the other's" that didn't have a silver spoon in our mouths couldn't "vote" and were being used as fodder.

Do you fully understand that your self serving apology is not accepted, people/ human beings "died" because they couldn't vote, but could and did get drafted based on the military industrialized complex of greed and lie, and a corrupt "President"
and a corrupt Ohio governor


If you want peace let the people vote in your state, you can start there

And by the way since your are trying to have it both ways-------------------FU again

[The Wizard]

20. It;s no longer a political Party

It's a cult.

[Sherman A1]

22. Agreed

It is at least in part one. I would like to see him chastised by members of law enforcement and the members of his party that claim to so strongly support the Constitution and Law and Order. This nonsense needs to stop and stop now.

[raccoon]

25. He was "was merely trying to prevent further violence and hatred" by advocating murder?

What a lying POS.

APOLOGY NOT ACCEPTED.

[IronLionZion]

28. For some people, it's the solution to every problem. nt

[DFW]

26. Republicans who advocate living by the sword......................

Will they cry foul if their opposition takes their words to heart?

Will they bring a tweet to a machete fight? Guys like this lowlife should watch what they advocate. Right wing nuts are not the only ones with guns these days, and right wing politicians like this idiot made sure of it.

[IronLionZion]

27. GOP encourages mass murder of Americans

sounds like a real asshole

[NurseJackie]

29. Actually, it was VERY CLEAR what he meant. I saw NO AMBIGUITY in his original statement.

[Blue Idaho]

30. Time for this one to go home...

That's the "extreme" version of second amendment remedies... the ass should be removed from office.
