Why Are the Nutjobs Trying to Kill Political Opponents All Left-Wingers?
American Greatness ^ | 24 Sep, 2024 | Josh Hammer

Politically motivated violence is more prevalent among left-wing individuals and aggressive rhetoric from the left may exacerbate this dangerous climate.

In Aug. 2012, a left-wing MSNBC afficionado named Floyd Lee Corkins armed himself with a handgun and extra magazines. He drove to the Washington, D.C., headquarters of the socially conservative Family Research Council, planning to shoot it up. Corkins, who later cited the Southern Poverty Law Center for the proposition that the FRC is an “anti-gay” organization, was also carrying 15 Chick-fil-A sandwiches, which he hoped to stuff in his dead victims’ mouths. Corkins, who served as a volunteer at a local LGBT community center, was stopped by an unarmed security guard.

In June 2017, a left-wing MSNBC afficionado named James Hodgkinson armed himself with a rifle and handgun. He drove to Alexandria, Virginia, in hopes of assassinating the Republican team practicing for the annual Congressional Baseball Game. He severely wounded then-House Majority Whip Steve Scalise, who thankfully survived after receiving multiple blood transfusions and surgeries. Five others were also injured. Hodgkinson was a 2016 Bernie Sanders presidential campaign volunteer who, in a Facebook post three weeks before the shooting, wrote: “Trump is a Traitor. Trump Has Destroyed Our Democracy. It’s Time to Destroy Trump & Co.”

In June 2022, a young Californian named Nicholas Roske flew to the nation’s capital. Roske attained a handgun, zip ties, a tactical knife, a hammer, a screwdriver, a crowbar, duct tape and other burglary tools. At 1:38 a.m. local time, about a half-hour after a taxi dropped him off in front of Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh’s Chevy Chase, Maryland, home, Roske had second thoughts and called 911. After his arrest, Roske told police he was angered by the leaked draft opinion in the Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization abortion case.

It’s Trump and Rand Paul’s fault for being conservative and upsetting the left wing nut chopping lunatics, ok?

Because leftism is a cult and the recruitment is hate-based.

“By their fruit you will recognize them”. Leftism is where the Godless and morally corrupt tend to congregate. So what do you expect?

Political violence is the left's stock-in-trade. It's just who they are.

I’ve priced billboards.

They ain’t cheap.

If that gentleman really did that, God bless him for putting his money where his mouth is.

And that billboard company was screwed since it couldn’t claim they wouldn’t accept political advertising there, eh...

Bleeping brilliant.

Communists have been murdering their political opponents by the millions for more than 100 years.

They also build walls and set barbed wire barriers to forcibly keep everyone locked INSIDE their dictatorships.

It’s how they all roll.

1. The mentally unstable are naturally drawn to the party of self-delusion.

2. They have less (or nothing) to lose, because they have accomplished so little in life.

3. Their lives are fueled by hate rather than love.

By definition those aren’t “liberals”. Let’s quit giving the cover of calling them open minded (liberals) and start calling them authoritarian collectivists etc.

They were set off:

“Let me close with this. Donald Trump is a genuine threat to this nation. That is not hyperbole. He’s a threat to our freedom. He’s a threat to our democracy. He is literally a threat to the America that we stand for.”

https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/speeches-remarks/2024/06/29/remarks-by-president-biden-at-a-campaign-reception-east-hampton-ny/

“We’re done talking about the debate, it’s time to put Trump in a bullseye”

https://www.politico.com/live-updates/2024/07/08/congress/defiant-biden-tells-donors-were-done-with-the-debate-00166834

[Trump was shot on July 13th, a mere five days later, when Trump came to speak within an hour’s drive of where the assassin lived.]

“the judge said, Trump’s words were ‘an implicit call for imminent violence or lawlessness” that is not protected by presidential immunity or the First Amendment.’

“The D.C. Circuit agreed with the lower court’s finding”

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-jan-6-immunity-us-capitol-police-officers-civil-suit-appeals-court/

Pennsylvania authorities should submit a case to a grand jury.

If the grand jury returns an indictment, Pennsylvania should endeavor to legally secure Biden’s residences and get an injunction barring the US government from flying him outside the USA.
