Violence and intimidation thread against the President and his supprters Updated: 10-23-2018 Login/Join

We may need a consolidated thread about the violence and intimidation perpetrated against the President and his supporters. This is becoming more and more frequent.

A New York man nearly ran over a campaign volunteer at a Long Island congressman’s re-election headquarters Friday after threatening to kill supporters of the lawmaker and President Donald Trump, police said.

http://www.foxnews.com/us/2018...fice-police-say.html

Martin Astrof, 75, was arrested outside his home shortly afterward and charged with making a terroristic threat and second-degree reckless endangerment, FOX5 New York reported.

Astrof had driven to the Nesconset, N.Y., campaign office of U.S. Rep. Lee Zeldin, and become "irate with a campaign worker” and threatened to kill him and Trump supporters, police said.

Authorities said that after making the threats, Astrof backed his car up in an “aggressive manner,” nearly striking the worker before driving home.

Zeldin identified the campaign worker as Donato Panico, a deli owner who helped feed first responders after the attacks of 9/11 and was given an American flag flown near ground zero as thanks.

The congressman, who is running for re-election in New York’s 1st Congressional District, presented the flag to President Trump at Panico’s request.

Meanwhile, Astrof was held overnight at Suffolk County’s 4th Precinct. He was scheduled to be arraigned Saturday.

Such tolerant people are the left.

Democrats are becoming un-hinged at all levels. They just can't accept that Trump won and is doing a fantastic job, putting previous administrations to shame. This is truly Trump Derangement Syndrome and a sure sign of a mental disorder of the liberal, progressive democrats......I am just waiting for their heads to implode or explode; I'll take either one....and laugh like hell.

One of the early things you learn in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is that during the application of a choke hold, your opponent/assailant begins to flail wildly as they realize they are about to pass out. The wildest they fight is just before they succumb.

I think we may be seeing the Demokrats simply flailing wildly.

Simple answer.

Carry a defensive weapon, such as a pistol.

Know how and when to use it.

It has been talked about in other threads but these clowns are drawing much unwanted attention to their cause. Normal folks have begun to realize that the left is full of hatred for not just the right, but those that refuse to stand with them on the left. It's not simply about civil disagreement anymore.

Truly, I think they are trying to incite mass violence, hoping that President Trump will be forced to act by sending in the National Guard or some other "NAZI" like act of suppressing the idiots. It saddens me that half of our population cannot be tolerant of others, no matter how many times they scream for tolerance.

Got the right answer on the first response.



"It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946.

I never advertise anything. No bumper stickers, no hats, no shirts. About the most I do is an American flag out front and a USMC flag in the garage.

That might change though. I did buy some Trump gear to support his candidacy and I may start wearing it.

I have a t-shirt I wear that says "Enjoy Capitalism" in the Coca-Cola font and let me tell
you I get LOTS of compliments when I wear it. From people you would never expect. At the chicken section of the Food Lion a young mom said "I love your shirt" and smiled...a waiter at the bar said "that shirt is awesome"...there are more people out there than the left realizes.

It might be time to start wearing it loud and proud.

MAN PUNCHED IN THE FACE OVER TRUMP FLAG IN HIS YARD:


A Boynton Beach, Florida man says that he was punched in the face while he watched July Fourth fireworks — all because someone had a problem with the Trump flag that was displayed in his yard.

Good later described what had allegedly happened to local news station WPTV, saying that the attack came out of nowhere as he watched fireworks.

“He was saying vile things about our president,” said Good.

The driver of the car then told Good he had to remove his flag. When Good told him no, he said the driver punched him in the face.

Good said he instinctively tried to punch the man back but the man drove off with Good’s arm stuck in the car, and Good was then dragged for about 30 feet.

“I have some bumps and bruises that I don’t think you want to see,” said Good as he was showing the scars on his hands and elbow.

Good said that his political goal was simple — he just wanted to show support for the president — and the violent attack was unnecessary.

My political goal here is just to express my love for this president and for somebody to punch you in the face for just presenting the flag to the public, that is enough said right there.

For good measure, Good declared that he had no intention of taking the flag down any time soon. “He still will be the president tomorrow and the day after so might as well keep the flag there today tomorrow and the day after.”

I'm going to get a MAGA hat and start wearing it.

These people are trying to make it look like no one is backing the President. Simple-minded people might believe it.


I am not tired of winning and I don't want it to end.

I posted in the other tread about the kid who had his hat snatched and a drink thrown in his face that I do not have bumper stickers or a MAGA hat. It just seemed sensible. Why get my car keyed?

But as this violence spreads, I don't like feeling intimidated. Bullied. What it comes down to for me-- I'm always armed. I've trained in martial arts all my adult life. But do I want to shoot some asshole and ruin years of my life, spend tens of thousands on lawyers?

If this keeps building to the point of something like the Brown Shirts, then I think the answer becomes clear. I won't live intimidated. Whatever the cost, living in fear is no life at all.

If they have half a brain, they will back off.

Having stirred their respective loonies into frenzies, both Right and Left now find a number of them not only unmanagable but embarrassingly counterproductive. Apparently mob psychology was not given a whole lot of thought beforehand.

Mitch McConnell confronted by 'Abolish ICE' protesters, video shows. "We know where you live"

http://www.foxnews.com/politic...ers-video-shows.html

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell was verbally harassed by protesters calling for the abolition of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement as he left a Louisville restaurant Saturday morning, an online video showed.

McConnell, R-Ky., was with outgoing Kentucky House Majority Leader Jonathan Shell as the protesters shouted in unison, “Vote you out!” and “Abolish ICE!” video obtained by the Courier-Journal showed.

“Where are the babies, Mitch?” shouted another protester, presumably in reference to the Trump administration’s controversial “zero tolerance” policy of separating families caught illegally crossing the border. The policy was later rescinded.

McConnell appeared expressionless as he got into a vehicle and someone shouted, “We know where you live, Mitch. We know where you live.”

Why the Hell is McConnell out and about without security?

^^^^^^McConnell has a wife with plenty of backbone, she gave 'em the what for.

Still, I'd like to see armed, rough ass security teams.

I’m trying to think of instances where conservative political activists or politicians incited frenetic right wing mobs that repeatedly assaulted people, attacked LEOs or rioted, looted and burned neighborhoods, and drawing a blank. Can you cite examples? Thanks.

I would have to wage an educated guess that there really weren't any incidents. It's a foregone conclusion the #corruptmedia #Godless-alt-left would have exploited such a story bringing negative action, violence, and intimidation against their anointed Krimson Kenyan to light as the lead story of the day.

I don't recall any such stories. As has been said, I went to work and silently cursed that no-good, America-hating sunuvabitch and his man-wife under my breath on a daily basis...



"If you’re a leader, you lead the way. Not just on the easy ones; you take the tough ones too…” – MAJ Richard D. Winters (1918-2011), E Company, 2nd Battalion, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne

"Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil... Therefore, as tongues of fire lick up straw and as dry grass sinks down in the flames, so their roots will decay and their flowers blow away like dust; for they have rejected the law of the Lord Almighty and spurned the word of the Holy One of Israel." - Isaiah 5:20,24

John Nolte over at Breitbart has been keeping a list of just these types of incidents, if you would like an up-to-date reference.
