ABC News is reporting that the Dept. of Homeland Security has notified government leaders and law enforcement that resisters to stay-at-home orders may attack if challenged. The report indicated that essential workers and authority figures are at the highest risk of being victimized.
The news comes as anger is bubbling over about continued extensions of shutdown orders across the nation. Many have questioned the orders, which impose rules on which businesses and facilities can open and mandate social distancing requirements. High unemployment, and the feeling that the rules are not Constitutional and somewhat arbitrarily applied, has sparked angry confrontations in many states and arrests of violators whose businesses have opened despite the restrictions.
Op Ed: Let's hope that the MAGAts turn violent. This way the government can shut them down once and for all. If they point guns at anyone that gives the police clear justification to use deadly force on those right wing bastards. They belong on the terrorist watch list. So far the have showed up at government building heavily armed with high capacity weapons of war in an attempt to terrorize and intimidate our public servants. I think we should act preemptively and lock their leaders us on conspiracy to commit terrorism.

Counter-terrorism analysts at the Dept. of Homeland Security sent the report out Thursday, according to ABC News, which obtained the report.
“Some illicit actors probably will view any continued state-mandated orders as government overreach, and anticipated safety guidelines and policies—specifically the use of face masks—probably also will serve as a driving factor behind continued violent incidents related to the pandemic,” the analysts wrote.

ReplyDeleteThis is good news. A lot more of those bible bangers going to die of covid-19. Let the bodies hit the floor!
DeleteI would expect law enforcement to enforce the law no matter what.
ReplyDeleteDon't count on it. Those Bible thumping Trumptards are heavily armed and they hate the government with a passion and police are a symbol of the government to them. The best thing to do is let them commit suicide. Cops should not have to go up against weapons of war. That said, if they start shooting at cops then martial law will be invoked. Then they can be tried as traitors and terrorists and executed by a firing squad.
DeleteAnd these violent people will call themselves 'patriots'.
ReplyDeleteWhich brings to mind a dichotomy; how come these people "honor our law enforcement personnel" and call them the 'thin blue line' and 'heroes', but will be the first ones to lift a gun against them?
They are boot lickers who hate the rule of law. They like cops because some bad cops kill Blacks. They would attack our police and any other public servant. They don't just hate American government, they hate the entire concept of government. They are bratty children in adult bodies. They are dangerous and they need to be vanquished.
DeleteWhy was Fauci wrong? Because he predicted we would surpass 100K dead by June and we did it earlier?
ReplyDeleteThey are not resisters once they turn violent, they are insurrectionists. There is a difference. They are threatening the rule of law and the peace. This memo was an alert of the intent of them to resist the law.
ReplyDeleteThis makes them fair game for the use of lethal force.
DeleteIn Israel when the Palestinians hurl rocks at Israeli soldiers the Israelis us rifles in .22 caliber on them and they shoot them in the legs. Palestinians are enemy combatants. Americans who start violent insurrections are traitors. I hope that police are employing snipers with sniper rounds in their rifle and shoot these enemies of America center mass and in their heads.
The National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health, which is often called Add Health. The other is the General Social Survey (GSS). The Add Health study shows that the mean IQ of adolescents who identify themselves as "very liberal" is 106, compared with a mean IQ of 95 for those calling themselves "very conservative." The Add Health study is huge — more than 20,000 kids — and this difference is highly statistically significant.
