voter intimidation is on.

Quote:
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.

I think we are going to start seeing alot of this sort of thing, especially as Trump becomes more and more unhinged and goes further into the realm of Alex Jones-esque conspiracy theories regarding rigged elections and the like. Trump supporters are the type that tend to buy this BS hook, line, and sinker.

I also fear that we will see more of the kind of plots like the one the FBI foiled in Kansas this past week where a White nationalist terrorist group called the "Crusaders" plotted to blow up an apartment complex home to Somali immigrants.

We live in dangerous times, God bless the law enforcement officers and intelligence operatives that are protecting us!

Yes, expect to see a lot more of this regardless of whether Trump wins or loses. His rhetoric is prepping people to justify violence.

22 more days.

Let's hope these lunatics don't shoot anyone. Trump is instigating this violence but what else is new?

With all the phones with very good cameras, there is no supporting evidence presented to show they were armed.

OP have you read the second amendment? Being armed is a right.

It is also your "right" to belch at the dinner table, fart in an elevator, and pick your nose while talking to people. There is such a thing as inappropriate behavior and standing around with a gun is meant to intimidate. There is no place for that in civil society.
