Virginia governor declares state of emergency following militia threats over gun reforms

Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam issued a state of emergency on Wednesday that bars any weapons from the Richmond’s Capitol Square from Friday to Tuesday, after he received credible intelligence that hate groups and armed militias are planning violence at next Monday’s Lobby Day against gun control legislation.

Northam, who discussed the threats at a news conference, said the state’s law enforcement analysis found that the chatter on the internet and other venues mirrored similar messages seen around the time of the 2017 Charlottesville "Unite the Right" rally, which left three dead and more than 30 injured

The governor declined to give exact details about the threats and the persons making them, but said that these groups, who were coming from outside of the state, talked about storming the Virginia Capitol.

“Intelligence groups report chatter echos Charlottesville rally, governor says”

Yes, the Charlottesville rally where a 22 year old schizophrenic who was in and out of mental institutions since he was a kid, killed a woman and is to this day being branded as a “right wing white supremacist” a “white nationalist” and a “neo-Nazi” while a Islamic Jihadi who killed 13 at Fort hood was blamed on his “stress”...

Who cares that much about this from OUTSIDE of Virginia?

No one. If Virginians aren’t thinking of doing it, no one else is, either.

All lies.

The media will question NONE of this.

And if there’s a fire in the GA building they’ll support whatever Northam tells them to.

Just as the German media did for Hitler

Screw the Governor. Every attendee just needs to learn how to Naruto Run over the weekend. It worked out so well for those that planned to storm Area 51. A perfect example can be seen here: Naruto Runner Behind Reporter

A recall effort needs to be made

An effort certainly needs to be made, but a 'recall' isn't the first thing that popped into my head.

The Virginia Constitution lacks a recall provision.

So as everyone knows in Virginia, January 20 is the VCDL Lobby Day and thousands were planning to show up. Here is the trap the Governor has laid for those who wanted to petition the legislature: I think the best move now is to hold a rally at some other spot and rail against the Governor's denial of the right to petition the legislature. ("Scared of Virginians!") Then reschedule the capitol visit for another day. Repeat until the Governor stops ordering states of emergency. At the same time, sue and demand that the actually produce evidence of people encouraging violence.

the entire thing is looking like a set up. The pro 2a groups should rally anywhere but the capitol.

Set up. Antifia members will play the roll of angry white conservatives.

Have them go to Charleston instead and lobby for the WVA invitation bill to pass.

Hmmmm

Not sure that is what I had in mind, think I used interesting to point out the irony of it(the seal) but that would be sort of redundant wouldn’t it? Or something. <: <: <:
