ACLU Board Member: Trump Supporters Should Be Shot!

Liberals are taking their war on leading Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump to a new level-beyond calls to assassinate Trump-with a call to shoot his supporters before they can vote for him!

"The thing is, we have to really reach out to those who might consider voting for Trump and say, "This is Goebbels. This is the final solution. If you are voting for him I will have to shoot you before election day." They're not going to listen to reason, so when justice is gone, there's always force, as Laurie would say.'

Loring Wirbel, a board member of the Colorado ACLU and co-chair of Colorado Springs chapter, is reported to have posted on Facebook a screed that said Trump supporters should be shot. The Daily Caller and Twitchy reported on and made screen grabs of Wirbel's post and professional positions.

Daniel Cole, Executive Director of the El Paso County Republican Party is credited with first finding the post by Wirbel.

No fan of Trump, but if you are threatening to shoot his fans... you're doing it wrong. Good catch @Daniel_J_W_Cole pic.twitter.com/JTvHn4Ur6P

Trump was recently given Secret Service protection as a result of threats. Is there a precedent for a presidential candidate's supporters getting their own Secret Service protection?

Great post and something else to make my head explode. Must wrap more duct tape around my head!

Where’s Secretary Loretta Lynch with the DOJ goons coming down on this a-hole?

[manc]

weird not heard this over the media

[Arthur Wildfire! March]

Our beloved senators approved terrorist-loving Lorretta Lynch. So did Jeb Bush. Yep, we have a wonderful government. /sarc

[jazusamo]

Thanks for your post, very good.

The 10 GOPe Senators who voted to confirm Lynch should have been tarred and feathered and Jeb thrown in with them for good measure, at least the amnesty pimp’s shot down for the nomination.

That area of the country is not MOST PEOPLE.

Isolating and destroying people one at a time, some very publicly and some quietly contributes to the climate of fear and silence the Beast from Modor on the Potomac is currently engaged.

A one-weekend skirmish is one thing. A drawn-out protracted resistance with suffering blamed on the resistors will have outcomes less than what you assume.

If a Christian people would not stand up and resist their faith from being demonized and removed from the public square, then I have little hope that they are going to stand up and resist much else, except riot when their beer, pizza and porn stops being readily available.

That kind of resistance is more French Revolution than a War of Independence and the results are likely to be the same: a bloodbath.

Since the ACLU supports gun control, who will do the shooting? ... that’s right, they’ll send their Black Panther clients to do it. The ACLU and other leftist groups don’t seem to mind “minority” racial agitators being violent and (illegally) armed to the teeth.

[GOPJ]

Lots of Americans have their rights trampled on from time to time - but the ACLU is drawn to criminals and lowlifes. It’s not a mistake. They enjoy helping those who give the finger to middle-class Americans, because it affirms their ‘superiority’ - well, in their hateful little minds.

If they were defending American’s rights they’d be working with Nat Hentoff - not Soros-paid scum.

The ACLU is a left-wing extreme scam today.

[DoughtyOne]

Defunding and thus defanging the ACLU would be tops on my list of Christmas wants.

It’s simply an unAmerican enterprise.

[GOPJ]

Which group has the largest percentage of totalitarian lowlifes? Q. Universities or the ACLU?

A.

“Hey, we need some muscle over here”...

[GOPJ]

Thought about this some more. Actually ‘we’re united’ it’s why the democrats are freaking out... Actions. It’s always the same - watch the actions.

You can consider the case of Connecticut as well. The state sent letters to people who had tried to register their guns but didn’t meet the deadline. Told them to get rid of their guns.

The state backed down in the face of threats of armed civil disobedience/shows of force. By outside pro-2A groups who said they were going to show up en masse and carry their illegal (under CT law) weapons openly.

He's a technical journalist. He used to write for EE Times.

He now works for the Linley Group:

Loring Wirbel Loring Wirbel is a senior analyst at The Linley Group and senior editor of Networking Report. He has covered the semiconductor industry for more than 25 years and is widely known for his work as director of communications coverage at EE Times. Prior to joining The Linley Group, he managed the FPGA Gurus blog for EDN, the Smartbooks blog for Qualcomm, and the Smart Networks report for Adva Optical. He also served as director of market intelligence for United Business Media.

The Linley Group is headquartered in Mountain View, but Loring's type of job can easily be done remotely. I knew a guy in the Springs who was a top chip designer at one of the semiconductor outfits. Sadly, the company went south, but he landed on his feet, working as an industry analyst for IDG — and no need to move, despite IDG being headquartered in Massachusetts.

ZabaSearch shows a 58-year-old Loring Wirbel in Boulder and Colorado Springs.

Hopefully the cops put this jackwagon in the clink before he goes and gets himself really hurt.

[cynwoody]

The Daily Caller has posted a follow-up to their article yesterday. Apparently, Wirbel has deleted his Facebook post and is claiming to have been taken out of context, yada yada, material faked. He also made KRDO News 13, claiming the posts are fake.

The Gazette is now reporting Wirbel has resigned his ACLU board position.

You have more faith in this people than I do.

I continue to contend that a people who would not resist infringements on their right to free exercise of Christian faith, resist the imposition of homosexuality upon the nation and accepted abortion as just another fact of life - are not a people who are going to resist the rest of their rights taken away as long as they have full bellies and access to their entertainments.

I just don’t see it as something en masse. The PC movement would not exist had these same folks you are confident will rise up and resist did so when the cost was next to nothing.

[Smokin' Joe]

We’ll save him a spot in front of a pock-marked wall. I don’t reckon he’ll want a cigarette.

[tanknetter]

It’s not so much faith in people as tangible examples to draw from.

I think the issue here is that Americans don’t see a law as a true infringement upon them until they experience the consequences of it directly, or think that they’re about to. As someone said on a recent thread, if you want to see how Americans react to laws they don’t agree with, just hop on the freeway.

“Hopefully the cops put this jackwagon in the clink before he goes and gets himself really hurt.”

Nope Colorado Springs PD has officially said that since he didn’t threaten an individual person they won’t investigate. Apparently they think voter intimidation is OK.

The state sent letters to people who had tried to register their guns but didn’t meet the deadline. Told them to get rid of their guns.

I do not doubt that attempts made to register guns will result in non-compliance by the majority of Americans.

I do not see large-scale attempts to confiscate via SWAT teams etc. I expect those will be small and quiet operations at first, to create the climate of fear for non-compliance I spoke of.

Where it will get interesting is when those same folks, who refuse to comply, find themselves on no-fly lists, unable to travel; IRS audits/bank account seizures; etc., etc - how many are gong to go dark and say nothing and do nothing to avoid those consequences? That is where the rubber is going to hit the road on that issue that you cited if it goes national.

For now, I expect Obama to decree gun shows and private sellers to be illegal unless it complies with federal mandates. That along with anyone put on a no-fly list to have their ability to purchase legal firearms - banned.

Until enough Americans declare the entire federal Beast to be illegitimate and void - and be willing to resist it at every level with every fiber of their being, I do not see this evil Beast now ruling us, relenting.

Too many like the Beast, and too many are dependent upon it for their sustenance. You and I are a minority.
