Armed Donald Trump supporters caught menacing Democratic campaign office

Donald Trump supporters have talked about violence if the Republican candidate loses to Hillary Clinton next month. And now, some of them are starting to put their money where their mouths are.

A pro-Donald Trump protester has attracted attention for standing alone outside a Virginia Democratic campaign office with his gun.

On Thursday, Daniel Parks stood outside a Palmyra campaign office for congressional candidate Jane Dittmar. Witnesses described him as staring directly into the office all day and turning sideways to expose his gun he was legally carrying. He was eventually joined by another protester, who was also armed.

The story is part of a larger trend of implied violence being used by Trump supporters. On Friday, Ed Mazza of The Huffington Post discussed how “members of the press are often the target of jeering by unruly crowds that are egged on by the candidate himself.” On Tuesday, a woman named Rhonda warned Mike Pence that she was “ready for a revolution” if Clinton wins instead of Trump, particularly since she can’t imagine “crooked” Hillary winning without cheating. Similarly, back in September Kentucky Gov. Matt Bevin (who supports Trump) rhetorically asked “Whose blood will be shed?” if Clinton wins and Trump supporters are forced “ to redeem something, to reclaim something, that we through our apathy and our indifference have given away.”

1. Trump is the NRA candidate. Trumplicking gunhumpers can be as bad as gunlicking Trumphumpers.

Kind of gross when they do it in public, though.

2. Lock. Them. Up.

Brandishing a weapon is a criminal offense.

3. seems like "loitering" statutes would apply to this nt

[titaniumsalute]

5. Or stalking

[Eleanors38]

6. But consider "loitering" was keystone to Jim Crow laws and forced road maintenance.

8. 'Vagrancy' rather than 'loitering' in regards to Jim Crow.

'Vagrancy' rather than 'loitering' in regards to Jim Crow.

13. Oh, both were used.

[Eleanors38]

4. Plenty of non-tRumpers/GOPers with guns; in fact, tens of millions. NT

9. You'll torture rational thought to force that irrelevancy into the OP.

You'll torture rational thought to force that irrelevancy into the OP, regardless of whether it validates your narrative or not.

[Eleanors38]

12. My, you are into "narrative validations," aren't you? Here is a rational thought:

Some of these RW nut-hustlers are quite aware of the millions of gun-owners who DON'T think like them: That knowledge keeps 'em in their place. Besides, they love playing the bully, esp. when they get the response they want. Maybe there should be a creative response which would foil these guys. Got any ideas?

[Bernardo de La Paz]

7. "trumplicking" -- brilliant! Must deploy! . . . . nt

10. Trump, probably loves this kind of stuff. I really think he would enjoy a civil war in America. n/t

[awoke_in_2003]

15. Probably...

a civil war would drive down property values, so he could swoop in a rake up the dough once things stabilized. At least, I think, that that is the way he would think about it.

[RKP5637]

19. I wouldn't be surprised. IMO he's a true sociopath in every sense of the diagnosis! n/t

[RaymondLuxuryYacht]

11. So an unemployed loser escaped from mommy's basement.

Why would anyone want this idiot on their side?

[Midnight Writer]

14. The real problem will be when these idiots show up at polling places on Election Day.

[pangaia]

16. This has been my thought now for some time.

This election will NOT go smoothly, nor will the aftermath, whomever wins.

[bucolic_frolic]

17. Sex and Guns and Lock & Load

All trends peak

We may have reached such a point if the political middle - sanity -
wins this election and asserts itself

Recall the Gore's and their rock lyrics crusade
and HRC's op-ed against human trafficking

Frenzied Donald Trump Supporters Are Turning On The Media — And It’s Getting Scary

Covering Donald Trump rallies has never been easy for journalists. Members of the press are often the target of jeering by unruly crowds that are egged on by the candidate himself.

But as the campaign falters and Trump spins tales of a media conspiracy, the scene appears to be getting even uglier.

In Ohio on Thursday, Trump claimed that allegations he groped several women were “lies, corruption and false accusations of the crooked Hillary campaign and the mainstream media,” according to the Cincinnati Enquirer. Earlier in the day in Florida, he said the media was at “war,” with an agenda to elect Clinton “at any cost, at any price, no matter how many lives they destroy.”

20. A MESSAGE TO LAW ENFORCEMENT...

Now more than ever Trump is trying to generate enough emotion and anger to inspire violence. Please don't get caught off guard.

He just may find with democratic reps he may be able to get a job and buy some new clothes.
