Under Threat

When you show up on the steps of the capital with automatic weapons and tactical gear, you are not engaged in a protest, you are making threats.

When you show up at the home of a sitting governor with automatic weapons and tactical gear, you are not engaged in a protest, you are making threats.

When you force your way into the legislative chambers of your state government with automatic weapons and tactical gear, you are not engaged in a protest, you are making threats.

When show up in these places waving the flags of the enemies of the  United States, the flag of the Confederacy, the swastika of Nazi Germany, it does not matter if some of the people in your throng also carrying the American flag, disrespecting it, wearing it on their clothes, dragging it around. When you do these things you are making it clear that you are un-American, and that you are a threat.

These people are dangerous.

It may be true that not all of them are white separatists, white nationalists, members of hate groups, and domestic terrorists, but it is certain that there are many in those mobs who are, and everyone else participating in these travesties are enabling them, providing them cover, carrying their water and furthering their sedition…that includes Donald Trump.

These are not good people, they are attempting to destroy the fabric of our society, the are dangerous, they are predatory and like all predators they should be stopped.
