DHS preparing for violence following abortion ruling

[867-5309.]

Source: Axios

The U.S. government is bracing for a potential surge in political violence once the Supreme Court hands down the ruling that's expected to overturn Roe v. Wade, according to a Department of Homeland Security memo obtained by Axios.

The big picture: Law enforcement agencies are investigating social-media threats to burn down or storm the Supreme Court building and murder justices and their clerks, as well as attacks targeting places of worship and abortion clinics.

Details: The unclassified May 13 memo by DHS' intelligence arm says threats that followed the leak of a draft opinion — targeting Supreme Court Justices, lawmakers and other public officials, as well as clergy and health care providers — "are likely to persist and may increase leading up to and following the issuing of the Court’s official ruling."...

Because there has already been so much.

[Skittles]

1. cannot condone those kind of threats

that's just plain terrorism

[yaesu]

2. False flag attempts by foreign operatives to create chaos, spread fear while at the very same time

that this happens: The disinformation expert hired to run the Department of Homeland Security's newly created disinformation board has resigned after the department paused the board

3. It's just insane what we now have to tolerate.

grrr

[MOMFUDSKI]

7. I think our country

is lost. One side has so much power now I don't see a way out. Talk me down.

17. We outnumber them!

The more they run with crazy the more support we get. America does not buy crazy.
Trump showed us the face of fascism and we turned him out.

[peppertree]

6. Fawn' AND domestic

Especially domestic ($$$).

[ancianita]

4. Looks like institutional gaslighting of women to me, from snowflake right winger biased LE.

[wnylib]

14. Yup. No inclination to violence or need for it

among pro choice people. Just ignore the preposterous ruling and set up abortion networks.

I would expect that any violence would come from anti choice people in states that have codified abortion rights.

[blm]

5. Or it's BoogalooBoi types setting up the civil war

they’ve been planning for over a decade.

The worst of the violence and destruction during the Floyd protests was committed by RightWing extremists using the protests as cover, especially while they targeted law enforcement, murdering them outright and burning down precincts knowing BLM would be blamed.

9. Yep. Remember "Umbrella Man" who trashed the black-owned auto parts store...

...during the George Floyd protests? His actions turned out to be crucial in turning the event from a protest into a riot. He also was connected to white supremacist groups.

8. I guess we should all prepare...

we all know which side of the political spectrum is prone to V I O L E N C E....we know it won't be a bunch of Pro-Choice Advocates walking the streets with AR-15's in battle gear looking to convince everyone of their point of view.

[dchill]

10. 😧 I fully expect ANTIFA to make their big move...

...when Clarence, Sam and Boney Carrot re-establish autocratic theocracy in the FSA.

(No, not really.)

[Cracklin Charlie]

11. "Targeting abortion clinics and places of worship"

Sounds like they know who to expect.

12. How silly

This reflects the conventional thinking of conservatives.

If Roe is overturned, the places men hold dearest might be in for trouble, and that's not churches.

(Don't look at me, I"m old and blind and no danger to anyone)

[Hekate]

13. Considering some of the contemplated targets, sounds like RWNJs gearing up to eradicate us wimminz...

…and our supporters.

[BlueIdaho]

15. If past is prologue

Why don’t we just review the crime statistics from women’s protests over the past decade and then stop this foolishness.

Women are being gaslit, the real danger to America is the GQP and it’s larger White Supremacist Christian movement.

[Duppers]

16. +100

[Solly Mack]

18. It wasn't pro-choice people firebombing clinics and murdering doctors.

It's not pro-choice people harassing and attacking women trying to enter a clinic.

It's not pro-choice people making plans to imprison and execute women, doctors, and anyone else who helps for abortion.

It's clear where the violence comes from.

19. Sure this agency doesn't do shit about the right wing terrorist...but they are lining up to attack

women...horrible agency and should never have been created.
