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.

He should not be given the opportunity to resign.

See post #48.

Big talk from behind a keyboard. If you're suggesting or advocating violence, why do it on FR?

If you go, remember there are state/fed/antifa provocateurs in the crowd, without a doubt.

"Yup. The GREAT part? This asshole would have been tarred and feathered when caught.."

Along with his house being damaged, and looted, having all the contents pulled out, and burned in front of it. That happened more than once.

“Removal of the Virginia Governor by impeachment is provided for in the Virginia Constitution.[”

And? The legislature is run by the Democrats.

Does this mean in a real emergency where folks try to protect their guns he can ask US troops to fire on gun owners?

What a great and revealing post about liberals.

None of what they believe is real.

It’s all an illusion.

Advocating violence against specific politicians on an electronic forum is either incurable stupidity or intentional provocation from Leftist agents (or *.GOV agents).

Either way, such people are to be avoided and shunned.

For some reason, Northam seems determined to make VA the flashpoint.

May be all the millions Bloomberg has spent on him and his cabal

I have NO doubt there are going to be innumerable agents provocateur brought in by elements of “the deep state” (Federal Bureau of Intimidation especially, but CIA for sure) who will start shooting and/or rioting to “force” police to disperse the crowds which are going to gather in support of EXTANT state constitutional as well as federal constitutional and statutory law.

It’s going to be “interesting” in the Chinese curse sense of the word.

The progressives are going to use this as a WEDGE, a DARE, to see if this kicks off the big boogaloo.

If it doesn’t, they’ll know we’re all fluff and nonsense, that our “rights” aren’t worth defending and it will further embolden them to depths only Ernesto Guevarra, Castro, Kim, Stalin and other globalists have ever plumbed.

If it DOES start a fair fight, expect them to fight dirty, with every tool at their disposal. The 4AM no-knock warrant raid and a trip in a black maria will become de rigeur, disappearances even more so.

They ARE the media. Other than patriots will only hear what THEY want them to hear.

I’ll make popcorn.
