There Are Now Armed Men Trying to Intimidate Campaign Volunteers. Guess who they're voting for?



Once again, economic insecurity manifests itself in so many strange ways. From CBS19 in Charlottesville, Virginia:

The protester, Daniel Parks, says that he hopes his protest encourages other Trump supporters to stand up for what they believe in. "I'm just trying to provide a voice for someone who might be a closet supporter of Trump. Other people who are a little worried to speak out because of possible persecution," he said. Parks stood outside the offices for almost 12 hours. Dittmar volunteers say that the protest was disturbing. "If he wants to support his candidate that's fine, but don't come here and stare into the office all day," said Su Wolff, a Fluvanna County resident and Dittmar volunteer. Parks was eventually joined by another protester, and Wolff said that the most troubling part of the protest was that both of them started to expose their firearms. "He turned sideways to be sure that we would see that he has an open carry gun, which is legal, and is fine, but it's intimidating," she said.

This clown is in a strip mall, outside an office in which people are doing nothing more deadly than stuffing envelopes, but he's the one who's being persecuted, so he needs to keep his shootin' 'arn close at hand in the event that a lady with blue hair comes at him with a stamped envelope. (Or fresh fruit.) We will be lucky to get through this election without somebody getting shot.

What a collossal waste of time on the part of these fools. If they really wanted to further the interest of their insane candidate there are many more productive things to do....dummies. I wish I worked over there...I'd let them know they are not intimidating anybody around here bub.
