Antifa expands its hit list as political violence escalates
The Washington Times ^ | Thursday, November 8, 2018 | S.A. Miller

Posted on 11/08/2018 7:38:41 PM PST by Texas Fossil

When a mob of left-wing Antifa activists descended Wednesday night on Fox News personality Tucker Carlson’s D.C. home, it signaled a new phase in the political violence and angry confrontations that now are targeting the news media.

Political violence has been rising in the U.S. since 2012, according to the Global Terrorism Database. Increasingly aggressive activists have pushed political confrontation to the limit since 2016, accosting Republican lawmakers and Trump administration officials in restaurants and in the halls of Congress. And now they’re going after conservative journalists at their homes.

Tucker Carlson, we will fight. We know where you sleep at night!” the activists allied with Antifa chanted outside Mr. Carlson’s home.

Antifa is short of anti-fascist, though the group has anarchist leanings and targets anyone perceived as not in step with a far-left agenda.

“Here’s the problem. I have four children,” Mr. Carlson, whose wife was home alone during the disturbance, told Fox News. “I never thought twice about leaving them home alone, but this is the reaction because this group doesn’t like my TV show.”

On Capitol Hill, the overheated political debate has lawmakers increasingly working under a threat of violence.

Capitol police say they saw a surge in protective details assigned to lawmakers earlier in the fall, when senators were facing hallway protests during the confirmation of Supreme Court Justice Brett M. Kavanaugh.

Security details were assigned to at least two Republican senators on the Judiciary Committee, Chairman Chuck Grassley of Iowa and Jeff Flake of Arizona.

Security details typically are assigned only to members of leadership.

Senators have mostly been away from Washington since the Kavanaugh confirmation, and it’s not clear whether enhanced security will still be the norm.

They believe at least 25 million Americans will have to be killed for “The Revolution”.

Well if they have to go they have to go.

We had our elected representatives threatened in the halls of congress and nothing happened to them. We had thugs disrupting senate hearings and nothing happened to them.

As long as our law enforcement refuses to enforce this will continue and will escalate.

Why haven’t the feds cleaned up those commie criminals? Do they even have dossiers about them? Are they trying?

Infowars has been predicting this for months. It’s the Soros blueprint.

Expect mass violence, and an attempt to assassinate Trump.

The 25 million number was from long ago. Today it would be over 50 million. Not saying they would not do it today, just that they would like to add to the 150 million killed by their own communist governments.

The United States shall guarantee to every state in this union a republican form of government, and shall protect each of them against invasion; and on application of the legislature, or of the executive (when the legislature cannot be convened), against domestic violence.

— Article 4, Section 4
Constitutional imperative there to stop this. But the legislature doesn’t act to stop it. Going to be up to the executive to declare a state of emergency with respect to this, or else there will be deaths.

Speaking of Bill Ayers, these thugs were heard talking about a pipe bomb outside of Tuckers door. Sounds like the security system picked up their voices. I haven’t seen where anyone was arrested yet.
