HuffPost writer Jesse Benn tweeted Wednesday that violent resistance must be organized to work.
The tweet came after a gunman opened fire on Republican lawmakers early Wednesday morning. The gunman shot five people: House Majority Whip Steve Scalise (R., La.), two Capitol Police officers, a congressional aide, and a lobbyist. The hospital treating some of the victims released a statement that said Scalise was still in critical condition. The gunman was shot and taken to the hospital, where he later died from his injuries.
Benn wrote that violent resistance needed to be organized and that individual acts of resistance were "counterproductive/ineffective," but still understandable.

You mean it’s not already organized?
Then again, remember the Battle of Berkeley a few months back? Antifa got whupped even with their violent organization.

The “Left” and the Globalists were so close they could taste it. They are not about to give up on 100 years of work without spilling blood. Count on it.

Technically, I think that comment is spot on. And in a world like ours, with law enforcement infiltrating any movement of that type that has more than one member, it makes it pretty much impossible.
There is a reason McVeigh was nailed so fast.

He looks like a pajama-boy who I doubt has ever taken a punch, or fired a gun.
But like most urban, tofu-eating metrosexuals, his emotions and ideas are what are most important. Let others do the dirty work.

Time to que up the Statue on SUBVERSION.

Except this is going on in plain sight.

HuffPost writer Jesse Benn tweeted Wednesday that violent resistance must be organized to work. Article 3, Section 3: "Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort. No Person shall be convicted of Treason unless on the Testimony of two Witnesses to the same overt Act, or on Confession in open Court."

I’m sure when the shif all the celebs calling for revolution will be heading for their safe spaces and likewise the Demoncrats doing the same thing will head for the government hidey holes in the mountains.
