There are no calls for assassination or killing; No Violence (FBI, death)

[bpollen]

Don't pay attention to the posts about calls to assassinate Trump, or to posts about violence and looting, unless there's a cite to a legitimate mainstream news source. So far, I haven't seen any cite to a legitimate mainstream news source.

Those things are coming from far rightwing websites and are fabricated, as far as I can tell.

If there's a call to assassinate Trump, it most definitely will be reported on mainstream news. If there's looting going on, it will be reported on mainstream news.

Yeah! You can trust the liberally biased MSM
Move along folks, nothing to see here.

people are saying dumb stuff, and I'm sure people are saying that.

The bottom line is no one should be spreading it, and if the threat is real than those people need to be taken care of.

No real threat of such a claim should be tolerated.

Yes, only trust the "mainstream" press.

I mean...look at their accuracy over the last 48 hours alone. Bullseye after bullseye, right?

Oh really? Here in LA last night some of the graffiti written said Assassinate Trump. There was violence last night, and today several hundred HS kids walked out of school and looted a 7 11. Is KABC and KNBC in LA a legitimate source? I saw it on live TV.

Two blocked freeways and some fires and vandalism, was I watching a movie?

It is a FELONY to threaten the life of the President OR President Elect .

What would be the "official" platform to threaten someone. Pretty sure it still counts as a felony if it's on Facebook or Twitter

It doesn't have to be handwritten with a felt pen or something.

Right, I suppose the WA Post is a right wing source now?

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/...cross-the-u-s/

Authorities reported 16 cases of vandalism, including graffiti and looting

ABC is now a far right wing source too I suppose.
Fires erupt, vandalism reported at anti-Trump protest in Oakland | abc7news.com
Several buildings were vandalized and there were reports of looting and building fires throughout Wednesday night. Police have made arrests.

I'm sure "as far as you could tell" it was only being reported by "far right wing sources", but I doubt you can tell much.

dems need to talk to dems to quit this violence. that would include hillary & obama coming out and saying something...

"Kai" on Twitter says, "so who's going to assassinate Trump at his inauguration."

It goes downhill from there. Just one social media source. Doesn't take long to find it.

Donald Trump 'assassination' calls erupt on Twitter while Secret Service monitor | Daily Mail Online

There's several there for you to read. They're on Facebook too.

But the FBI and Secret Service have been called in.

Death threats happen in after lot of elections, not just for Trump.
