The day after a Colorado man driving a truck loaded with weapons made it to Washington, D.C., last week, he texted a frightening forecast of what could come with President-elect Joe Bidens inauguration.
I predict that within the next 12 days, many in our country will die, wrote Cleveland Grover Meredith Jr., who had threatened to kill Washington Mayor Muriel Bowser and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), according to federal court records....
He also lacks ties to the community and appears to have no regard for governmental functions, Sherwin said. A clearly disturbed, deranged, and dangerous individual that fantasizes about committing horrific acts of violence and takes countless steps to carry them out by driving across several states with a trailer stocked with thousands of rounds of ammunition and multiple firearmsincluding an assault style rifleshould not remain in the community.................

PS: I'm really glad we have Joe and Nancy at the helm; this is no time for neophytes. And I also hope President Obama will give counsel behind the scenes if they ask him.

(17,473 posts)I say that every single day. We could not ask for a better person in charge than Joe Biden who is the exact opposite of trump. He is a man with years of experience in all facets of how our federal government works. He has also always been very well respected. He and Obama had a wonderful workig relationship and I would stake my life on Obama being at the ready with advice if Biden seeks it.

(13,355 posts)Years of right-wing media propaganda, conspiracy theories, and the deliberate support for white supremacy have all brought us to this point. I worry that were entering another phase as in the 60s when political assassination and random violence were the reactions to perceived ills. Somehow it seems worse now because we have ignored these right-wing extremists and self-appointed militias for decades and allowed the gun culture to get out of control, with guys like this being able to buy armor-piercing military bullets.

(9,989 posts)No, the problem is, this person has LOTS of ties to a community. A community that has been organizing and preparing for 'race war" and assassinations for years. Can we finally, now, at last, let go of that "lone wolf" narrative?
This is an organized movement.
This person expected a lot of company when he got to DC. Why else would you carry so much ammunition unless you're intending to be an ammunition stockpile for lots of like minded folks?
And that rat-bastard of a Senator that was packing IMO wasn't carrying for "protection". He was looking to join in in the festivities.
We have some very sick deranged folks in this country who think some dark clandestine movement is out to get them and their only choice is to put bullets in people's heads.
I wonder if we're at the Fort Sumter (initial salvo) or the Gettysburg (high water mark) moment of this sedition movement.

(31,695 posts)believe me they all have stockpiles like that. They carry all of those guns and ammo because then they are not afraid. That's exactly what they tell me. They also tell me they keep loaded guns in the house so they won't be afraid, and this is in a small rural town with very little crime, other than drugs and DUI's.

Gal who got Maced wept to the media, who asked why she was there: "We were storming the capitol for the revolution!"
Then what? Who decides who has the power? What are the rules? Whom do you plan to obey? What is the secession? Do you think your 74 y.o. "God Emperor" with the world's worst golf swing will last forever?
Has even one of you miscreants read a history book? You might at the least check out what happened to Roman emperor after Roman emperor.
