State Rep. Larry Pittman called protesters calling for an end to systemic racism 'thugs,' 'criminals,' and 'vermin.'

A Republican state lawmaker in North Carolina wrote a racist diatribe on Facebook in which he condemned the Black Lives Matter movement and demonized the protesters calling for an end to systemic racism, going as far as saying the protesters deserve to be shot by police.

In the post, State Rep. Larry Pittman said he is, "thoroughly disgusted by the gutless wonders in public office who are bowing down to Black Lives Matter."

He focused specifically on the Seattle mayor for not cracking down on protesters who have created a police-free protest zone after right-wing media has used doctored images to portray it as a violent uprising.

"The mayor of Seattle has betrayed the citizens there by allowing the anti-American actions of those ignorant thugs to go unchallenged," Pittman wrote, adding that the police should take back the area from the protesters.

Hey Pittman, do your realize that there are laws on the books for "premeditated murder" and what you just said is "premeditated murder." you should be charged and LOCKED UP.............and the other two standing behind you should be charged with aiding and abetting............

7. I thought elected officials were not allowed to wear tan suits,

or does that just apply to Black Presidents?

[bucolic_frolic]

9. Yeah, you're probably right

to me it looked gray, and how about those slightly curved lapels, pins or are the top pair buttons, and the deep maroon striped tie? That could have passed in the 1880s.

2. Kindly remember that there are living, breathing people who actually elected this asshole.

6. If memory serves me correctly

There were multiple calls on DU for police to shoot those protesters...

4. research if this guy can be "recalled" and start the process

5. This is an indictment on those who elected him too.

Never forget that - Those People gave him his soapbox to spew out the Racist Hatred. They all are just as guilty.

I think BLM should target his district for peaceful protests and re-education.

8. If this is "premeditated murder"

Would you then agree that the call on DU last month for police to "shoot and kill" protesters was also premeditated murder?
