GOP congressmen being harassed in public - danger close situations (vanity)

Posted on 10/20/2018 2:47:22 PM PDT by penmack

Democrat leaders in congress, hollywood and the media have whipped up their base to go after republicans in public. The attack on Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell is the latest but certainly not the last of these.

I hope the republicans on the receiving end of these attacks realize just how serious these situations are. While some of these attackers are obviously paid professional agitators, some may not be. Some may be bent on violence. Hell they would probably be heroes in their circle of associates.

If a restaurant worker or diner sees a republican congressman all he has to do is get on social media and within a short amount of time a mob can appear. Even security can be distracted and swarmed by a mob.

The downside of these actions is the potential to change votes. Assuming Trump gets another supreme court pick how are republicans going to vote knowing that they or their families can be mobbed whenever and wherever they may go?

Yes. So the “stand down” orders are followed rather than lose a pension in a few years. They should sabotage their political hack mayors.

Note my “right or wrong” lesson for today:
I implied a crime against a liberal mayor (it’s wrong). But cops are passively letting the law be broken by Antifa and BLM encourages assault, death or property damage by Antifa and BLM to us or our loved ones near us. Also disintegration of the nation under law, under the God given rights guaranteed by the US Constitution. (it’s wrong).

Which is the toppermost of the uttermost of the wrongest?

I say letting Antifa and BLM show total disrespect for the law like a Sanctuary City letting Kate Steinle get murdered in cold blood next to her father, saying “Help me,Daddy.” is wrong and worse.
Screw the leftist mayors.

Blood HAS been spilled - Steve Scalise’s. The democrats just stepped on the gas harder. They want blood. What they don’t expect is for their blood to be spilled. They are counting on us remaining civilized.

Today I did a web search for conservative motorcycle clubs-came up with one Veteran Bikers Motorcycle Club.

https://www.veteranbikersmc.com/

I sent an email to them:

In the news recently, I read of Republican politicians being attacked verbally and physically at restaurants with their families present and elsewhere. I would love to see just a few bikers nearby that can confront these idiots. Filming would be great publicity for your cause. I know that stating your good intentions would bring in a lot of cash donations for your club also.

Keep up your good deeds.

Call 911 - get the police - tell them you’re being threatened and harassed - at the very least these people should be up on charges for creating a public nuisance, disturbing the peace, etc etc - if we had an Attorney General we would have had a federal taskforce looking into all this as a RICO mob matter months ago, but if pigs had wings......

Carry concealed. If threatened, USE IT. I do and will.

If you ever "use it" you better remember the acronym AIM. It stands for ACCESS, INTENT and MEANS.

Does the perp have ACCESS to endanger your life? Does the perp have INTENT to harm you? Does the perp have the MEANS to harm or endanger your life or your loved ones life?

If you cannot answer those questions in the affirmative and "use it" you will be checked in to the Crowbar Hotel by the Blue Team. Granted you may have seconds to make that decision and you may have milliseconds to make that decision.

If you ever use it - DO NOT MAKE ANY STATEMENTS to the police until you have a lawyer present!

Somebody's gonna get hurt...

Not sure why the Libs think they'd prevail in a civil war....?

Is part of their fantasy win a fantasy disarming of citizens?

This is not accidental. Such violent confrontations are part of the larger Demonicrat effort to intimidate conservatives and their families to avoid becoming, in Nancy Pelosi’s phrase, “collateral damage.”

I’m well aware of AIM. But many thanks for the reminder.

I’ve been robbed and shot (.32cal) on 7/14/75. That won’t ever happen again; Mr Kimber will see to it.

If the guy is waving a weapon at me or my loved ones - baseball bat, knife etc - he is dead.

My personal/corp atty is aware - he carries a .380cal - and will be there for me. The DA and 90% of the people are pro-Second Amendment here in York Cty, so that won’t a problem. The only unknown is if it happens in another PA city where the opposite is true.

Just go to YouTube and look up Savage Nation October a11, 2018 (or any other date) and choose among services with several amounts of commercials, or his own website.

On YouTube look up Savage Nation October 11, 2018 and see several choices with varying amounts of ads. His own website, also.
Note: several big radio stations have taken his show off for being too extremely conservative.

Thought I’d remind folks that pepper spray can be a decent non-lethal response. Legal in many places where carrying a gun is not.
