US election: Biden event in Texas cancelled as 'armed' Trump supporters threaten campaign bus

Source: MSN.com

Joe Biden campaigners were forced to cancel an event in Texas on Friday as tensions flared in the key battleground state ahead of election day.
-
According to local Democrats, the same group of Trump supporters has been following the bus around the country in an attempt to disrupt events in key battleground states.

Rafael Anchía, a member of the Texas House of Representatives, said some of the agitators had been carrying weapons.

"Armed Trump trolls harassing Biden Bus on I-35, ramming volunteer vehicles & blocking traffic for 40 mins," he said, before accusing Mr Trump's son Eric of inciting "violence".

triggers . Sorry, I tend to be more emotional than logical in discussing political topics. Trumpists parroting - as I see it - words and phrases like “law and order”, “socialism”, “personal responsibility” - to highlight some easy examples - really frustrates me. It’s feels like a world turned on it’s head, where these apparent Parrots (apologies to some very fine birds) “seem” (again, maybe the emotional me) to be able to claim the moral high ground, and demonize those acting in the spirit of Antifa, and BLM, and Greta Thunberg, and, and... I know a story as old as time...but so much in our faces right now. I guess we are way beyond Goodwin’s law now on DU - I think there is no denying that this thread is about Nazi brownshirts.

So, after my classic example of being triggered, and sputtering out words, my ultimate intent was to say: nice, succinct post, and awesome “screen name” (I guess that’s what people say).

Can’t hold my tongue - I just have to chuckle and role my eyes a bit (or maybe a lot) that is is necessary for you to add a sarcasm tag on DU.

Welcome to DU.

Feeling your pain all the way. Trump is the lamest President ever, but I’m pretty sure he’ll also go down as one of the most consequential. He has intoxicated and empowered the worst among us, people who are armed to the teeth and have more cops on their side than we want to know. We’ll be cleaning up this mess for decades.

Your words “more cops on their side than we want to know” resonate through my whole body. Shame on me, but I basically kept myself in a naive place about cops in general - as a white male living in small(er) town Minnesota. Recent times have made me believe that we most likely have a cop problem worse than many of us could, or wanted to, ever imagine.

local agencies have jurisdiction by agreements. According to Malcolm Nance who was there and tweeted about it, said that the one cop he flaged down was wearing a gang bandana, blue/white striped, and told him it wasn't his jurisdiction so wasn;t going to do anything about it. I guess some federal protection is in order.

When the states can't handle an issue like this, the feds are supposed to step in.

Though we have plenty of the type in the surrounding communities. I still remember the first women’s march here in Austin following Trump’s inauguration where young white men lined up along the streets with their assault rifles, most over their shoulders but some in menacing stances. The woodwork around this state is full of worms like this. They have also been a menace along the border for years, using vigilante justice to deal with anyone near the border. They assume they’re all illegal, though they don’t care if they harass legal Hispanics also.

Few undecideds. Also see Trump spray painting on roadways, crossed out, removed, blacked, out, returned, XXX'd out.

It’s all around us right now. And most of these people are absolute nut cases.

Have you seen where the driver of the black truck from yesterday’s incident has been identified and is the same crazy that tried to run into a group of protestors at the Alamo a couple of months ago? Also has a DWI charge in his history.

If the FBI doesn’t make an arrest, I’m going to be VERY suspicious.

In any event, I’m stocking up on things because I think Texas is going to be a war zone after Tuesday. I so hope I’m wrong.

Trumpers will applaud them since they love this stuff, and Biden people will just be more determined to get rid of these vermin than they were before all this. This is all basically supporting Biden and making his point without anyone having to say a word.

Biden's group needs lots of security. This incident also needs to be investigated! We cannot let this go or it will only get worse! The same way you would treat a scared bully!...

This is at the feet of every fucking evil shitstain moronic asswipe who did not vote for Hillary and Democrats. Period. It doesn't matter who was running. We needed to stop Trump. We needed to stop the republicans. We saw what they were doing as soon as McTurtle gained power and abused it. The anti-Hillary voters and non-voters were complicit in getting these fascists their huge audience.

Hillary was right about a basket of deplorables, except that we're seeing it's WAY more than a basket. It's a whole fucking cult of them and it stretches across the country. They are in the open now instead of cowering in the dark. Where they belong is in the coldest, dampest, loneliest cell in some third world country to live out their lives with their fantasies, without guns or audiences or rights.

If it were not so dangerous and sad, I'd find it humorous that these maggots believe they're part of a master, superior, race. They represent the worse humanity has to offer.

Who are these trolls making Texas look like a place it ain’t? The state is better than this. tRump incited these more truck than brains goons to violence.

These are the same type idiots that can’t drive for shit and will inevitably roll their top heavy truck into a field somewhere. They’re losers who like to look big and they’re gross.

Throw a tRump flag on that rolling mess, and believe me, they reveal themselves for the overcompensating fools that they are.

Prosecute them for this violent act. And prosecute the fascist cops that were basically escorting their truck nut buddies.

He is bringing this country to the brink of civil war and no one is doing anything about it on the Republican side.

All Republicans in office from this day forward should be held accountable and anytime they open their mouths some democratic leader needs to say you have lost all credibility for siding with a traitor to the US.

Because I don't think they're overly bright people and probably thought at least Harris was on it. In which case, it is a matter for Secret Service.

Is a federal matter for the FBI if the local cops wont act. Oh, and not that it needs to be said, but if that was a black or Hispanic speeder on the road, you bet your ass it would have been 'our jurisdiction'.

Get their names, remember who they are. If we get a new executive in january, PROSECUTE these domestic terrorists to the full extent of the law. 10-15 in federal lockup for these fools should handle the problem nicely.

hands down. I can't believe this. It's crazy, it's like we're a third world country now, where campaign staffers and volunteers can't safely attend events because of Trump's American ISIS. Where do we go from here? What if Trump wins again and we have four more years of this insanity? Will they start looking up people's addresses who are registered Dems and harrassing or stalking us? Will there be more assassination attempts and summary executions of anyone perceived as enemies to Trump? We've rounded a corner all right.

Sat Oct 31, 2020, 05:13 PM
Oct 2020

If we do win the election, as it looks very much like we will, on Wednesday the Democrats in the House need to file articles of impeachment against one Donald John Trump for violating 18 USC 2383:

Whoever incites, sets on foot, assists, or engages in any rebellion or insurrection against the authority of the United States or the laws thereof, or gives aid or comfort thereto, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both; ?and shall be incapable of holding any office under the United States.

We also need to charge the entire Trump Bund, with the possible exception of Barron, with the same thing. And that means all his cabinet members, all his talking heads and ESPECIALLY that worthless fuck Gavin McInnes.

108. Bullies need a target. We need to protect Biden, Harris, and their staffers until Biden is sworn in.
Sat Oct 31, 2020, 08:00 PM
Oct 2020

I think they should park the Biden Bus, stop campaigning in public, and not give these dickheads a target.

And here's an idea:

Put out a decoy Biden Bus with no one on it but journalists, photojournalists, and FBI agents. Have them take pictures of license plates and videos of Trump thugs as they are rolling along.

Stop the bus and allow the agents to flash their badges. Watch the Trump Terrorists flee in terror.

Then once Biden is sworn in, go after them. Make arrests, and impound and sell at auction every big-ass pickup involved in the harassment.

There is plenty of evidence of serious wrong-doing during this episode.

The serious question that must be asked:

WHO IS GOING TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT?

Governor?

Attorney General?

State Police?

Anybody??????

What happens from here on will tell you everything you need to know about the "Law & Order" 'party.'

118. Kennedy was assassinated while visiting Texas
Sat Oct 31, 2020, 11:48 PM
Oct 2020

and the far right killed his brother and Dr Martin Luther King.

That these murderers have been given free reign to terrorize all liberals and Democrats in the “red” areas since the mid 1980’s is the real source of the civil war unfolding upon us.

This using public airwaves to encourage violence against liberals and feminazis and all the rest of it should have been stopped decades ago.

The urban liberals abandoned us and we have been terrorized. Now the rest of the nation is living through what we have all been subject to for 3 1/2 decades.

I hope we can get through this. But these are violent people who are well armed and most are close or related to the folks in law enforcement.

Hire professional armed security for the campaign, if the cops won't do their job.

Avoids confrontation whenever possible.

They would also take the optics of the situation into consideration, not giving fuel to the " radical libruls" b.s., not overreacting.

Kind of like a bouncer in an upscale nightclub.


The goal is to remove the disturbance as quietly and inconspicuously as possible.

Sun Nov 1, 2020, 02:19 AM

and their infamy of being the place where a President of the United States was assassinated.

Does anyone think today's Republicans in Texas give a flying fuck about the murder of "a liberal"?

Texas is still Texas. If Biden were ever shot, I'd wager it would happen in Texas.

When I see reports like this, I feel like . . . FUCK TEXAS!

These people are Dangerous. Psychopathic. Antisocial. Fascistic. Deluded. Deranged. Ignorant.
But most of all, they are Dupes who are manipulated by a political propaganda machine
that reinforces all of this evil and brainwashes them into believing that they are true "patriots"
when they act this way. And Trump, in true psychopathic fashion, applauds them for it!!!!

Yes, it has been said a thousand times: This is how the Nazis began their empire of terror.
It needs to be PUT DOWN swiftly and emphatically.

Seig Heil Indeed.

These knuckle draggers are panicked that their hero is likely to lose badly. If that happens don’t be shocked if Twitler tries to flee the country to avoid what is likely coming down from the New York AG and others.

Saw a few of those Trumpsters as I stood in line to vote in Suburban Columbus......but we Democrats far outnumbered them as most took the pamphlet from Democrat volunteers listing which Judges to vote for as their is no D or R listed on the ballet. It was not difficult to pick out the Trump lovers either.
