Malcolm Nance just made a chilling point.

94. I have no idea what you are running

on about with your references to politicians and not labeling them all the same. Or of "sticking to science" when I was posting about a non science topic. Perhaps the word you want is "facts" not science.

I was referring to a RW gang (not politicians) who were caught by the FBI before they were able to carry out a plot to kidnap Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer. According to information about it from the FBI their plan was to try her for supposed crimes and to kill her afterward.

The 13 men arrested in the plot had ties to the militia group, Wolverine Watchmen. They supported the views of the Boogaloo movement. They are anti government. They purchased a taser, explosives, protective gear, guns and amunition to carry out their plot. They discussed various ways to deal with Whitmer. All of them included a trial for "treason." They had a list of other public and government officials to kidnap. One idea they discussed was to hold televised executions of their captives over a period of a week. Another was to lock them in a building and set it on fire.

One idea discussed about Whitmer was to leave her in a boat in the middle of Lake Michigan after disabling the motor.

All of those treatments contain a degree of torture. Just the kidnapping alone is a formnof psychological torture.

They referred to Whitmer as "tyrannical" because of her pandemic shutdowns and in their discussions called her "that b---ch."

It's not an issue of political views. They plotted crimes.

They hate authority, but were planning to use authoritarian tactics in their kidnapping and murder plans, assuming life and death authority over someone they disagreed with politically.

There is no mention of rape in the articles I just re-read. As I said in my post, I was not certain about that.
