Sounds like (purely speculation, since the details aren’t available) he pulled a gun on or otherwise threatened the agents coming to arrest him, based on his other behavior. Told them to come back with a warrant, they did so, and he took issue?
Either way, posting on the internet about assassinating government officials, regardless of whether it’s serious or not, was probably not the smartest opening move.
That won’t stop the far right from turning him into a martyr
They sure are big on traitors and hostile to the rule of law lately.
Lately?
The right used to at least pretend to be into law and order.
They still pretend, they just also pretend that the rule of law is different than what it is.
You know how many far-righters have “back the blue” and thin blue line bumper stickers?
Yes the same guys who rant about government tyranny yet defend police (government employees/enforcers) at every opportunity love to also rant about the rule of law unless those rules are applied to them or their current flavor of the week messiah.
And yet here were are in a thread about the state murdering someone over words and liberals are falling over themselves to “back the blue” hardest.
They were never into law and order.
They were just into law beating and brutalizing black and poor people.
He never said they were. He said they pretended to.
They’ve always backed conservative cops enforcing conservative laws against “other people” but letting conservatives off with a warning.
They turned a dumb cunt that jumped over a barricade to rush a bunch of men with guns into a martyr.
They’ll turn this guy into The Jesus to Trumps God.
Or from producing more of them.
What you mean that won’t STOP them? That actually STARTs them again!
He must’ve forgotten to add “…in Minecraft.”.
“Opening” is quite an interesting word in this context

Thats just the official story. What actually happened was that dark biden’s Cyber-Brain picked up the threat, so he used his lazer vision while at a rally in New Mexico to vaporize him.
The media is totally censoring the thousand mile long lazer beam the president shot out of his eyes. They have the footage, but they are too afraid to tell the truth, because then the Clinton Mutant Teenage Turtles will kill them.
Read all about it on that guys truth social page.
