I see the phenomenon, often several times a shift at my hospital job: Big tough bullies wearing their dull clothing, idiot shitkicker MAGA hat, usually spouting all sorts of tough talk, sporting half a dozen tattoos...
Then whimpering like a 4 year old when it's time to place an IV line.
I can just see this freak veritably wetting his drawers with childish fear, jerking with every attempt to hit a vein.
Most hate-radio addicts cheering on the hate speech like this garbage...
Inside are scared little children
still trying to rebel because the old school marm back when paddled their rear ends.

I've compared him with professional wrestling in the past - over the top and not credible to most people with higher reasoning capacity, but entertaining to some people (not me!) and actually taken seriously by a few.

There's a difference, though - when professional wrestlers issue "threats," they're against other professional wrestlers. Not against other people.

Just make a law that says you can’t incite violence with speech

to shit hungry fools that eat it up, that's why. It's good to see his "business" model being given the herky-jerk.

I do wish law would monitor him closer. Eventually he'll be guilty of inciting violence.

He is a sociopath inciting others to acts of violence. He's a very dangerous, sick man, and I would support any actions to take away his broadcast platforms. If he wants to say stuff like this, wandering around his local park, or distributing flyers door-to-door, or standing up and ranting at his local town meetings, fine. The local police can then arrest him and the county court can then determine if he is, indeed, trying to incite riots or acts of violence on a local level.

Committed violence or is he just a maniacal actor? I have never seen Alex Jones locked up for assault and battery,...will that be next?
