Democratic Socialists at Iowa State University call for 'shooting' Trump
FOX News ^ | October 19, 2017 | By Caleb Parke

A Democratic Socialist student group at an Iowa college appeared to make death threats on Twitter against capitalists and President Trump -- the latter message drawing the attention of the Secret Service.

“COMRADES: stay away from needle drugs! They only dope worth shooting is in the oval office [right now],” Iowa State University's Young Democratic Socialists of America chapter tweeted in September.

The Secret Service told Fox News it was “aware” of the comment.

This month, YDSA tweeted to encourage the hanging and extermination of all “capitalists." After the message drew complaints, Iowa State defended the group on Twitter, saying the tweet was protected speech, according to screen shots of the tweets taken by Campus Reform.

“The left has done a good job radicalizing juggalos, weebs, furries, but I will not rest until ‘hXc’ stands for hang+Xterminate capitalists,” the club wrote Oct. 4 in a since-deleted tweet.

“Juggalos,” “weebs,” and “furries” are slang for different types of fan groups, while “hXc” is a slang term that typically means “hardcore.”

Is such a threat against the President not a Federal felony?

arrest the turds and send them to Gitmo or Colorado for an extended stay.

The college thought this was fine protected speech from the kampus kommies. Now change the sentence to 'hanging and extermination of black capitalists' and see what these lefties make of it. Doubt their answer would be the same.

Why aren’t such hate-filled cretins jailed?

The college should immediately expel students for that kind of threat.

Lawlessness rules the day. Consequences are in-your-face selective, no longer applied fairly or honestly.

Justice is not blind. Justice openly serves communists, socialists and Marxists and defends all their themes and guarantees their outcomes. The Media makes this so.

Most of my wife’s aunts and uncles and cousins and some of my friends went to school in Ames. Surprised to be hearing of this kind of stuff coming from there. Wait, it’s a college campus in 2017. I guess I’m not surprised.

If this is the Iowa State I attended back before the dinosaurs, this group has 3 members on a good day: one scrawy malcontent who fancies himself a revolutionary, one ugly chick with braided armpit hair who believes him, and a fat guy who comes in the hopes that someone will bring donuts.

Just one knucklehead. As far as universities go, ISU leans pretty right. Lot of ag students, lot of small town people. If you want to stay away from lefties on a campus, you could certainly do a lot worse.

“Comrades”. They actually used “Comrades” with a straight face. What’s next, “groovy”? “Running-dog lackeys of the bourgeoisie”? “23 skidoo”?

Amazing lately how many yoots are throwing away their future security clearances. It’s going to be rough for them working at McDonalds the rest of their miserable lives. But maybe that’s the plan?

Socialism is soooo cool. Thanks a-hole Obama.

Their day will come. I don't think they want to come out and play socialists vs American Patriots. It's wearing very thin.

This is the YDSA chapter that heckled Bernie Sanders for supporting Hillary after he was cheated out of the nomination.

Pretty sure this organization is officially recognized and gets funds from ISU.

Have we all had enough of this? I am sick of it. It is dangerous and these people need to be arrested.

My alma matter.
There are commies on every college campus; let’s hope these are properly investigated

“Why aren’t such hate-filled cretins jailed?”

I thought even a hint of threat was good enough to go to jail.
