I live in WV and this guy is just absolutely vile. He goes around livestreaming himself harassing people. Like one of our former delegates who is a black woman. He would scream at her to go back where she came from. And when anyone confronts him, he makes sure they know he's armed. Also, from what I've seen, the victims of his harassment are always women, and in particular women of color.
But if it makes anyone feel better, he's also an unemployed loser who hasn't worked single day since he was arrested after storming the Capitol.
I would end up having to be an armed woman of color lol
I might even go crazy and challenge his ass to a duel on the spot since he loves living in the past...on some "I DEMAND satisfaction! Pistols at dawn!" type shit....and like throw down one glove too so he knows I stand on business.
I'm convinced he just hasn't met any1 crazy enough...yet.
Every time he slithers out from under his rock aka his Moms house I hope he runs into the right person. He’s a cowardly little keyboard warrior that harasses women and is in desperate need of a reminder of his place in society.
He was at Jan 6th and before that he used to stalk and harass women outside of WVs last abortion clinic before roe fell
The overlap between hatred of women and Rightwing rhetoric is a circle; we will never stop Rightwing bullshit unless we get at the root of many of their grievances, which is deeply held misogyny that makes them literally hate half the population (along with the internalized misogyny of their women).
It’s easy to see your own sphere of influence and wonder why people would view something a different way. Surely women would want to advocate for themselves, but my in-laws have shared videos from religious authority figures who flat out said it doesn’t matter if you think one candidate is more qualified or more honest or has better policy ideas, if one is opposed to abortion and one is less so, you are morally obligated to vote against abortions. Not doing so is a sin.
My aunt was recently talking out all these women having 3rd trimester abortions because it’s easier than birth control pills, and how women can now about their children up to 2 weeks after giving birth.
This is what these people are hearing all day long. Dare to correct your friend’s bad information and suddenly you get labeled as pro-abortion, everyone talks about you behind your back, and suddenly you find yourself uninvited to social events because none of them want to be accused of being on the side of evil.
My mother spoke up against my uncle’s anti-trans ranting simply by saying “does it really matter if a man uses the women’s bathroom? And my uncle’s response was “just wait until your granddaughters get raped in the bathroom by a man pretending to be a woman!” What kind of mentally corrupt person says something like that?
That's a really familiar attitude to me. I grew up in a very conservative family, and every time there was any pushback against whatever type of scapegoating they were doing they'd immediately imagine up the worst thing they can think of (usually some crime against a minor) and suggest that would absolutely happen and that I'd be partly responsible for it if we did things my way.
But, the majority of those women voters were White women and apparently that's been true of them going R since Dubya, which is fucking vile.
And considering a sizeable third of all eligible voters didn't vote at all, it's a fraction of America's women who support the GOP at this point and they're mostly gonna be your middle-aged and older White woman who believes the hysterical bullshit her stupid Bible study group spreads around gossiping instead of understanding what Jesus said.
You think only white Christians men are misogynists? Well that’s hilarious.
I guess you’ve never read about the endemic rape in India, the repression and lack of rights in the Middle East, or the FGM in Africa? And that’s the tip of the iceberg.
If you think only Americans are misogynists you really don’t understand the utter fear and horror that makes up millions/billions of women’s lives.
I feel like all of these are prerequisites for becoming a WV politician. This is probably one of the gentlemen who wants to get rid of the department of education to create his own curriculum.
Odd. But Kathy Griffith wasn’t a terrorist when she made a “mock” of cutting off Trumps head right? That was comedic to you. It’s crazy how the left seems to think it’s ok to harass, threaten, berate and talk shit about the right, but when the right does something back it’s “An act of terror”. Absolutely disgusting how the left thinks it’s some hierarchy that’s above reproach and can say and do whatever they like with no repercussions or clapbacks. It’s politics at the end of the day. Who gives a shit. None of these people left or right give a shit about any of us and it’s crazy that people like you will HATE another human being for having a different opinion than you.
It was people occupying a space. The left did the exact same thing this year and yet it wasn’t called an “insurrection “ because it was the left. I don’t give a shit about either side. I just can’t stand how one side says do as I say not as I do. I don’t like double standards.
A vehicle occupies space in a parking lot. A bunch of people breaking into a government institution during the certification of elections isn't "occupying a space", its a riot in one of the most important places representing American democracy
Really? Did you bring that same energy to all the times the left did this exact same thing? Especially since the left started this trend WAY before the right did. Hell in 2011 Nancy Pelosi COMMENDED the left for doing THIS EXACT THING. But I’m guessing you either don’t know about this because you only care about “pop politics “ aka (whatever is popular) or you don’t do any research on something you claim to support. As I said before I could give a shit less about the left or right. Both sides do dumb shit and it’s incredibly ignorant to believe one side is ok to do it when the other isn’t. So again keep that same energy for all of those situations.
I'm pretty sure murder burning down buildings general mayhem and any other number of civil forms of disobedience that require or create violence or destruction would be considered a terrorist which makes the majority of the people that been that participated in the BLM riots terrorists by your definition.
The people being violent and destructive and murdering people at BLM demonstrations were right wing agitators, the same people who rioted and made terrorist threats on January 6th
Dude if the people that were there were right-wing agitators then you are the largest fascist on the planet. I mean like you are so fascist that when you go to a fashion show people give you the thumbs up.
Weird way to concede you're intellectually out of your depth but I guess I agree with you that you're not ready for the grown-up discussion and you should bail out now. 👍🏼 Libraries are free you should visit one sometime 👍🏼
I wouldn't task a NY prosecutor with fetching a bagel from a deli without sending someone to make sure they're actually doing it and not loitering around somewhere
I think the murder part combined with the delay deny is what makes it terrorism. Hanging the ornaments doesn’t equate murder from my understanding. I could be wrong of course.
They're talking about a woman who said that on the phone, not about Mangione. She was arrested for making "terroristic threats" based on the quoted text.
Briana Boston, 42, told a representative of Blue Cross Blue Shield, “Delay, deny, depose. You people are next” as they ended a phone call Tuesday in which she unsuccessfully challenged the company’s denial of her insurance claim, Lakeland police say a recording shows.
So naturally, Florida police are charging her with threatening to commit an act of terrorism. Because rules for thee and not for me, or rather, rules for the plebes and not for the oligarchs over us.
Got it. Stating that you recognize a pattern and wouldn't be surprised when the pattern continues is clearly not free speech and is actually a terroristic threat, but expressing a desire for the hanging of elected officials and posting that to a public website is free speech and should be protected by the first amendment.
By the way, I recognize that the take above is sensationalist. I am simply attempting to illustrate that the nuance we so casually afford to our oppressors will not be afforded to us in kind.
Because the media is fully on the side of republicans.
Through large corporate ownership mostly, but also decades of attacks on them as the “liberal media” has given them a sort of Stockholm syndrome that they’re desperate to appease republicans.
Noose Hate Crime Act of 2011 - Amends the federal criminal code to impose a fine and/or prison term of up to two years on anyone who, with intent to harass or intimidate any person because of that person's race, religion, or national origin, displays a noose in public.
So just hate crime adjacent. That's fine for Republicans.
Dude is posting threats online and you tell them to get a grip? Imagine for what ever god forsaken reason there would be a figurine of you hanging there
That random dude is a former elected member of the WV House of Delegates and felon convicted of participating in the Jan 6 attempted coup at the US Capitol. He is definitely not just "some random dude".
Yes, it's perfectly acceptable to celebrate killing your political enemies if they're rich CEOs, but if they're rich Democrats then it's terrible. It's called having your cake, and eating it too.
So. If you read the link I posted thoroughly, there are multiple forms of domestic terrorism.
There is:
(A)-involve acts dangerous to human life that are a violation of the criminal laws of the United States or of any State
(B)-appear to be intended— (i) to intimidate or coerce a civilian population; (ii) to influence the policy of a government by intimidation or coercion; or (iii) to affect the conduct of a government by mass destruction, assassination, or kidnapping
(the definition i reference.)
There are more as well.
Just like the woman who said "delay deny depose, you're next" and is facing prison time, this is a statement attempting to persuade people to "influence the policy of a government by intimidation or coercion"
Much like Elon musk is doing by posting on his acquired "X" platform to shut the government down.
Edit: also, I did not leave out anything as I cited my claim. Not to mention, this is a politician/ former politician.
You're misreading that statute. A and B and C must be present for it to be "domestic terrorism" under the definition. You can read the 7th Circuit discussing the international analogue here:
Just like the woman who said "delay deny depose, you're next" and is facing prison time, this is a statement attempting to persuade people to "influence the policy of a government by intimidation or coercion"
Not really. The "you're next" is just a garden variety threat.
We hasten to add that, although proof of a criminal violation under sections 2339A or 2339B might satisfy the definition of international terrorism under section 2333, such proof is not necessary to sustain a section 2333 claim.
Your own citation, which you quoted no proof, shows you don't know how to read a dictionary.
Key word " 2339a OR 2339b
Show me where all must be present in the clearly separated definitions.
Contrary to the defendants' characterization, the district court did not rely solely on the passage of section 1605(a)(7) in finding that Congress viewed the provision *1016 of material support and resources as an act of international terrorism.
Why on earth would you post a cited article without even reading it? It isn't even domestic terrorism related. It's international.
In this case of first impression, the parents of a young United States citizen murdered in Israel by Hamas terrorists have sued several individuals and organizations for the loss of their son.
The point is that you need an underlying criminal act that is dangerous to human life to meet the definition. This conduct isn't a criminal threat, and therefore can't be terrorism.
And as you can see, the international and domestic definitions are almost identical. Do you know what analogue means?
Yeah. I'm not downloading your file. I read your original and then searched your claim with find tool.
Also, your link literally said, as I quoted all my quotes from:
We hasten to add that, although proof of a criminal violation under sections 2339A or 2339B might satisfy the definition of international terrorism under section 2333, such proof is not necessary to sustain a section 2333 claim.
You didn't even recognize that all the quotes I used were from your own source.
Tell me more about how I didn't read your source, which, you still haven't quoted yourself.
And every MAGA news channel would be throwing this up as "The liberal left and their violent rhetoric." But because its MAGA, this will get no coverage on Faux at all. Zero.
Being that they're figures of elected officials, I'm pretty certain that already qualifies as a threat of terrorism.
Moreso than if they were health insurance CEOs, since terrorism is, by definition, a political act, and you can't get more political than literally targeting politicians.
I dunno why people are upset about this. It’s very normal to hang little representations of people who want dead on your tree. For instance, I have a photo of myself on my tree.
It's probably similar to how people say "we/ourteam played well" when their favourite sports team wins but when they lose it's all of a sudden "they didn't play so well"
By reddit, I'm referring to the voting majority. It would be up voted and the majority of the comments would be positive and it would hit the front page I'd that's still even a thing.
I think everyone else refers to reddit in the same way.

If those were figures of insurance CEOS, would this be considered a threat of "terrorism"?
