'Shoot a couple, the rest will go home': Far-right groups are sharing scary messages ahead of 'No Kings' protests

Far-right groups are sharing violent messages ahead of the “No Kings” protests this weekend to coincide with President Donald Trump’s military birthday parade.

Accounts associated with extremist groups are also sharing detailed information about protest organizers, including names and where they work, The Wall Street Journal reports.

Protests in more than 2,000 cities are scheduled to take place Saturday.

“Shoot a couple, the rest will go home,” one meme circulating on a Proud Boys Telegram channel said.

I pray that none of that will actually happen tomorrow---
but a few "keyboard commandos" are trying to incite 'someone else' to violence,
from behind their computer and cellphone screens...


Well, if anyone DOES hear gunfire anywhere tomorrow, hit the ground fast!
I mostly doubt that it will happen anywhere, but be aware, wherever you are!

so they invent scenarios to try to fuck with us, like we're being paid (yeah right), or we might get shot (by somebody else). Ignore them.

Our leader Jimmy Pillen, Gov'na of the Great State of Nebraska, stolen land, where my fore father's came to be free, has called in the national guard to make sure we are safe from fascists. What a man, he really loves his people. After all we are as smart as his pigs. And he Loves his pigs, for about a year, then he loves the money they make him.

Our local Democratic officers have been informed by the local police of threats to store a pallet of bricks to attack protesters with. Also that there may be a Proud Boys presence there. Fortunately the local police will be there to help protect us.

Cowardly Proud Boys can scatter just as quickly as anyone else if their “libbrul” victims respond in kind, especially if they are better shots.

Justice matters.

One with a 34-times convicted dingbat compulsive liar who was found guilty on 34 felony charges but then never punished, and now surrounded by a bunch of incompetent complicit billionaires who are also as much lying dingbats as he is, thanks to a greedy a-hole from Australia (Rupert Murdoch is his infamous name)-

I never thought I would live long enough to see that abomination come to reality in the former land of the free
right across the border from where I live in my Liberal country. That's how the "free world" who came to support the country after the 911 tragedies sees it.

Is that what the Internet was invented for? (Except for DU...which I am tankful for). I feel helpless and I can't find sleep.

I miss the Summer of Love (tm), in the summer of '69.
