May 31 - Supporters of former President Donald Trump, enraged by his conviction on 34 felony counts by a New York jury, flooded pro-Trump websites with calls for riots, revolution and violent retribution.
After Trump became the first U.S. president to be convicted of a crime, his supporters responded with dozens of violent online posts, according to a Reuters review of comments on three Trump-aligned websites: the former president's own Truth Social platform, Patriots.Win and the Gateway Pundit.
Some called for attacks on jurors, the execution of the judge, Justice Juan Merchan, or outright civil war and armed insurrection. “Someone in NY with nothing to lose needs to take care of Merchan,” wrote one commentator on Patriots.Win. “Hopefully he gets met with illegals with a machete,” the post said in reference to illegal immigrants.
On Gateway Pundit, one poster suggested shooting liberals after the verdict. “Time to start capping some leftys,” said the post. “This cannot be fixed by voting."
Threats of violence and intimidating rhetoric soared after Trump lost the 2020 election and falsely claimed the vote was stolen. As he campaigns for a second White House term, Trump has baselessly cast the judges and prosecutors in his trials as corrupt tools of the Biden administration, intent on sabotaging his White House bid. His loyalists have responded with a campaign of threats and intimidation targeting judges and court officials.

notice they accuse us of what theyve been doing for years now.
pure projection
loyalist ?
Liberal trolls posing as Trump supporters no doubt. How is Reuters confirming it?
A false flag riot is a very real possibility.
If this had been done to Obongo every major city would be burning right now
NBC spotlighted an enraged Trump supporter and . . . who turned out to be a Jimmy Kimmel actor who gets paid to do stuff like this. oops.
I've seen the same sentiments expressed right here on FR.
These are not necessarily false flags.
I knew the FBI would be out in front. They just can’t help themselves.
Manufactured news report, following on the heels of a manufactured felony conviction.
Who says manufacturing is dead in Amerika?
I’m not calling for attacks on them. I’m calling for retribution via the same lawfare tactics they used to get Trump’s political convictions. That, and just abandoning them in philosophical or emotional support (if there ever was any), financial or commercial support or compassionate support for that matter. As if they just don’t exist anymore.
Liberals burn down parts of entire cities...*crickets*
Conservatives get pissed at an obvious travesty... “OH t3h no3s!!! Them thar Right-wingers are VIOLENT...”
Every time... we fall for this crap.
They want us to BE violent... Fine. “Shiny. Let’s be bad guys...”
Ray Epps and the FIBers will be the first to join and incite
When the US Supreme Court overturned Roe…was it MAGA Republicans that doxed the Justices, threatened and harassed them?
True. Calls for civil war, doxxing of jurors, baseball bats used on the judge and Bragg, Russia should nuke NY, and on and on.
Yes but the point is that nobody went after Obama like this nor will they. People who do this kind of thing are for him and not against him therefore no lawfare.
There are many lefties on sites that post like they are MAGA.
I will say it again, if people calling for violence was true, it would have happened right after the verdict.
That did not happen.
Better watch RATs and their red flag creators though.
Exactly. Calls for violence is what the left is hoping for.
And the CIA as well.
