'I Want Blood': Heavily-Armed Trump Supporters Say They'll Protest Trump's Indictment

[brooklynite]

Source: Vice

Supporters of former president Donald Trump are planning mass protests at a Miami courthouse on Tuesday, following Trump’s indictment last week. Many are promising to come “well-armed.”

“MAGA will make Waco look like a tea party,” a user with the screen name 1776take2 wrote about the planned protest on the pro-Trump messaging board known as The Donald, which was instrumental to the planning of the Capitol riot. “I used to laugh when my mom said that she was afraid if she registered Republican she may be arrested one day. I’m not laughing any more. Just buying more ammo.”

In addition to the angry comments and plans posted anonymously on far-right message boards, Republican lawmakers, politicians, and right-wing pundits have also used incendiary language about Trump’s indictment. “We have now reached a war phase. Eye for an eye,” GOP Rep. Andy Biggs tweeted to his 730,000 Twitter followers.

Trump is facing an unprecedented 37-count federal indictment brought by special prosecutor Jack Smith. Thirty-one of the charges claim Trump willfully kept classified documents in his possession after leaving the White House—some of them in a bathroom at his Mar-a-Lago resort—and showed those documents to people who did not have security clearance to view them. When news of the indictment broke last week, members of The Donald made explicit threats against Attorney General Merrick Garland and his children.

1. I'm all for air strikes

Frankly, had I been a Capitol Hill policeman, Ashley Babbit would not have been alone

[Kennah]

3. Justified, but it would likely have led to a lotta dead innocent people

[EYESORE 9001]

10. Then again...

A strike that wiped out a nest of vipers within public view may have brought the whole shitaree to a swift conclusion.

[Kennah]

41. Magats would have become radicalized.

We should learn from our diplomatic solution of military force against brown people as a failure.

[oldsoftie]

7. Exactly. If they'd done that at the front door, it would've ended in 10 mins.

5-10 dropped in the doorway would've been enough. Thats the price you pay for insurrection.

[Warpy]

9. Nah, they make too big a mess

Maybe fire hoses. They hurt like hell and will disperse the most violent crowd, leaving them wet and very discouraged.

Otherwise, my sympathy, for the first time ever, to Miami cops. It's going to be a very tough day.

Of course, if anybody fires a gun, it's going to be all over, a godawful mess that will make Putin happy.

(Got fire hosed when I was a kid. It is not fun)

[mpcamb]

60. You mention Putin. How many of these brave trumpsters are Russki Bots?

I suspect the St Peterburg troll farm has been hard at work.

[Warpy]

61. Oh, of course they have

with full access to Farcebook and improved access to Twitter.

ETA: Konstantin over at "Inside Russia" on YouTube addressed just this today. Oh, and there are now 40 acknowledged private armies in Russia, means they're breeding like bacteria. Putin/Shoigu have ordered them all to sign contracts with the Russian military. Yeah, we'll see about that. But Prigozhin has his St Petersburg troll factories working overtime.

[fantase56]

26. too late now.

This should have happened at the Bundy standoff in 2014 when a bunch of wannabe militia members were on the overpass with guns trained on federal agents. A strafing run down the middle of the bridge and an order to abandon their weapons and leave in 1 minute, or else, would have put a serious damper on the future of armed militias in this country. sigh

[onetexan]

31. THIS!!☝️

[Shipwack]

38. DOUBLE This!!!!

I'll see your bridge and raise you a wildlife preserve.

[relayerbob]

39. No argument from me

[Grins]

54. God; at the time that was my exact thought!

One officer: “You have five minutes…”*

While overhead - Apache attack helicopters and A-10 “Warthogs.” No warning run.

* To turn yourselves in and be arrested for armed interference of law officers.

And send them the bill for the costs the government incurred!

[we can do it]

62. +1000

[rso]

2. Trump

Bring it bitches.

[splat]

4. Meh. Jan. 6 wannabees

We wanna go to jail too!

[ToxMarz]

51. Yeah, I think they already sent their "best and brightest" on Jan 6

This will be more like F Troop.

[CTyankee]

5. My bet is that Biden, expecting the worst, has had a plan in place should this occur.

These idiots know that (at some level in their pea brains) and want a way to show off.

As for Andy Biggs, watch him head for the exits in a sprint...

[Ligyron]

6. I wonder if deSatan can pardon any of the arrested and/or convicted?

There's still the battle of DC to be fought and another one in Georgia.

They may just run out of insurrectionists before it's all over.

[oldsoftie]

8. I would think if anything happened & there were arrests, it'd be federal

But who knows

[ExWhoDoesntCare]

47. Not if charges are federal

Which they would be, since the court is a federal property.

These losers are about to find out, yet again, what it means to FAFO.

[patphil]

11. He doesn't realize the blood will probably he his.

[Grins]

55. Another lesson in "Fuck around, and find out!" NM

[33taw]

12. But, they back the badge!

[hibbing]

13. Last time they won popular vote 2004

Eighteen damn years, but they all think tfg won, I am so sick of these fucks strutting around thinking they are the majority in this country and I'm tired of being ruled by the minority. Now you have members of Congress basically calling for violence.

Peace

[IronLionZion]

14. Doing violence and intimidation while mentally ill should be the same punishment

as terrorism.

Then we wouldn't have to pretend that Trump supporters never have any political agenda.

[Traildogbob]

15. Make their wish come true

Spill their blood and stack THEIR dead bodies on Mardi-Lardo golf course to rot in the Florida sun.
Who the hell are they planning to shoot? Dems are not gonna be lined up with rainbow flags supporting his arrest. So are they planning on murdering federal law enforcement matching his fat ass in? What if a stray shot hits their savior? Imagine Right wing media spinning that. Not so sure Feds will stand by and allow them “Standing Their Ground?” Will Biggs, Bigsly and MTG lead their charge. Good, drop them too. Bring out ALL Anti Terrorism Forces we are so quickly willing to send overseas to protect our democracy and citizens here, and display some shock and awe on their asses.
The threats need to be taken seriously and planned for. I believe Joe is preparing to be pro active before they run wild and avoid a mass shooting, but these lunatics are dangerous and being pumped up by GQP politicians and RW media.
Those in congress and senate AND ex president shouting war and blood need to be shut down.

[Scalded Nun]

16. You want blood? Get ready to bleed. Treasonous shitpile that you are.

[Ohioboy]

17. In other words Trump isn't "innocent" enough to win without violence

[Roy Rolling]

18. Why Republicans Are Disqualified

A true leader would publicly make a statement saying violence doesn’t help his cause.

Only a criminal with a criminal cause remains silent when deplorables laugh.

Like hyenas.

[republianmushroom]

19. Let the National Guard and LE stack the bodies up like they did at Kent U.

[Aristus]

25. How is the National Guard situation going to work from a legal standpoint?

Is DeSantis even going to deploy them? If he does, does he look like a good guy or a bad guy? If he doesn't, wouldn't he be worried about getting caught in a (please not literal) crossfire?

Would President Biden nationalize the Florida National Guard? If he does, won't that make him look like the tyrant the below-averages believe him to be? Will it kick off the 'civil war' the Gravy Seals seem to want so badly?

[SouthernDem4ever]

20. Now I'm glad this is happening in Florida

Let them all kill each other - weirdos

[Roc2020]

21. Aint squat going to happen

That's why the feds threw so much jan 6th rioters in jail. let others know when we go after Trump make it your problem if you want to and have your arse thrown in jail as well.

[riversedge]

22. ...'..... Buy a gun or help organize your local militia today."

Well, I certainly hope the FBI is paying these dangerous people a visit!


..................Over the weekend those threats continued, with one user posting a picture of Garland and writing, “America cannot allow this cowardly thug to destroy our democracy. This is what the Second Amendment was made for. Buy a gun or help organize your local militia today.”

The former president is scheduled to appear at 3 p.m. on Tuesday at the Florida Southern District Courthouse in downtown Miami when he will be formally charged. Law enforcement is already on high alert for planned protests. Both federal and local law enforcement agencies are monitoring online chatter ahead of the protest and planning increased security measures, the Washington Post reported Sunday. And law enforcement will take precautions similar to those employed when Trump was arraigned in New York in April, which included barricades, rooftop security, street closures, and sharpshooters, reported 7News Miami.

[Hekate]

23. Um, refresh my memory, but didn't Waco end with no survivors on the non-federales side?

God help us — these people are nucking futs.

[ExWhoDoesntCare]

48. Burnt to a crisp

Somehow fitting for the Chickenhawk contingent.

[Hekate]

49. It was pretty awful -- and that Trumpist bozo says he wants blood today that will make Waco...

….look like a tea party, apparently not remembering that on that occasion the insurrectionists were burnt to a crisp.

Stupid past belief, but also extremely dangerous.

[Paladin]

24. Be careful what you wish for, trump goons. (nt)

[EarthFirst]

27. See if I were in charge...

…Id have scheduled a FEMA disaster preparedness drill in Miami on the date of the indictment…

…really get their conspiracy blood boiling.

[Sky Jewels]

28. Hmm, this might put Tiny D in a bit of a pickle.

Which side are ya on, Ronnie?

[nwduke]

29. If they would just read the indictment.....

Oh wait,,,they don’t know how to read😵‍💫🤪😵‍💫

[Bernardo de La Paz]

43. What category do we alert on for advocating the assassination of a President? ** "needs" **

[tonekat]

32. Hoping the authorities will not tolerate

any attempts by the Magats to disrupt things, should they show up. Any violence should be met with overwhelming force.

[Aussie105]

33. Insurrection, phase 2!

I guess if a lot of armed Trump Zombies turn up and start shooting up the place, then the armed and organised arms of Laura Orda (Law and Order) will come out and say 'Nope, you can't do that! We have guns too, and know how to use them if we must.'

Let's see . . . general police, SWAT, state militia, army.

I guess though the loudest voices calling for armed civil unrest won't be in the front line.

There may well be blood on the streets. Whose, that is the question.

In reality, once you cut the head off a crime gang, the followers usually dissipate back into invisibility.
Lock their guns away, then deny any involvement if questioned.

[lonely bird]

34. If even one of these assholes pulls anything

Burn. Them. Down.

Then kick every Russian diplomat out followed by deporting every suspected Russian mafioso.

Lastly, remove every congressional MAGAt and send them to Russia.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

42. You are not serious. Kicking Russians out does nothing to solve the AMERICAN CITIZEN problem. nt

[bluestarone]

35. I'm 100% certain the one you're willing to DIE for, will gladly

Stand BEHIND YOU!! You fucking IDIOTS!!

[LudwigPastorius]

36. "I Want Blood"

OK, buddy. Will that be whole blood, or just plasma?

[padah513]

44. Lol +1

[The Jungle 1]

37. Yo dumb asses.

Listen up here. The last time yuns listened to the orange man ya all ended in jail.
Good luck with dat.

[soldierant]

40. So - Arrest, Charge, Convict them

(of felonies)before the 2024 election to make sure they cannot vote.

[Oneironaut]

45. That's an interesting LARPer fantasy.

They aren’t going to do anything though.

[ExWhoDoesntCare]

46. MAGA will make Waco look like a tea party?

No, you won't, you stupid hayseed.

You'll get one look at a beefed up security ready for you traitors this time, and you'll soil your size XXXXXXL whitey tighties.

Reminds me of what Sun Tzu said in Art of War, that those who talk the loudest and act the most aggressively before a battle are the ones who will end up retreating.

It was a nice way to say that wannabe thugs like this write checks with their mouths that their arses can't cash.

[Martin68]

50. Could end up being a huge national advertisement for the necessity of gun control.

[llashram]

52. trump is a gangster

with mafioso fantasies of running the whole country. Actually, the dangerous politics Gangster 1 is courting will cause bloodshed. And if magrats want to give up social security, medicare, food stamps, yes food stamps I tell them to go for it. Maybe we can do a little house cleaning. LOCK HIM UP!

[onetexan]

53. So far not a large crowd..more media & anti-Con outnumbering not RWers from msnbc

can anyone else confirm? So far no violence either though i do see some flags on trucks & ppl carrying them. Puny crowd.

[DickKessler]

56. I mean, I'm hardly surprised.

[GenThePerservering]

57. Well, that was a non-event

[ExWhoDoesntCare]

58. Yep

Because they knew this would be the response if they tried anything:

[Roisin Ni Fiachra]

59. The air is so thick with Nazi like fascism in the rural west

I can feel it and smell it. The Magat king and the fascist propagandists that worship him have whipped up a terrifying bloodlust among his followers.

I'm frightened, and hope the federal government has an effective plan in place to stop the Nazis in their tracks as soon as the organized violence against non-fascists begins.
