Under my plan, all Floridians will have permission to shoot FBI, IRS, ATF and all other feds on sight! Let freedom ring!
This is the actual Twitter statement by Luis Miguel, a GOP candidate for a Florida Legislature House seat. Yes, he was banned from Twitter, but not from running for public office.
Yet another reason why I don't understand the American political system. Free speech is all well and good but, come on people, actively encouraging violence and hatred has zero place in any civilised society.
@SatyrService I understand that there are laws which effectively distinguish between 1st A rights and hate speech etc. However, from the outside looking in, it seems like they are never enforced or very difficult to enforce.
For example, I can confidently say that, in the UK, trump would have been arrested and charged with inciting racial hatred and violence after his first campaign rallies back in 2015. In the US he got the top job in the land. I'm sorry but, having grown up in the UK and being a European citizen, I just don't get it.
Mr. Miguel does not seem to realize he is creating a precedent. So you want to shoot federal officers do you? Well, perhaps others might decide to shoot YOU! Of course, we have laws against that sort of thing.
When will this plague of uncivilized, treasonous Philistines in our politics end?!
@rhouse Russia began cultivating Trump as an asset back in the 1980s, and Russian oligarchs have been a key financial contributor since at least the early 1990s. Trump stole the documents a year and a half ago, and has likely shared whatever information others bought from him long ago to settle whatever debts he has to Putin or sold to the Saudis or other governments. The damage is likely already done.
@BackyardShaman I also don't believe fear of Cult violence should influence the pursuit of justice. Bring it on so we can get it over with and move on.
@LeopoldBloom Yes, he does. This is where the Trumpers are heading, if they are not already there. Imagine equating freedom with the wanton murder of federal employees?
😂😂. I’m not sure what kind of account this is, it could be another automated trolling account. The responses seem timed and could just be predetermined, we are talking possibly to a poorly programmed robot.@LeopoldBloom
Also, my response was never directly responded to by “it”, another possible indicator. It responds, but I don’t see the responses as being particularly personal ,hateful and scattered, but not personal. Think of it like the scam autodialers , Several posts are done at once and if one of them gets a lot of activity then it alerts the person watching them and they take it over.@LeopoldBloom
@Rayce DING! DING! DING! DING! WAKE UP SLEEPY HEAD! Jesus Trump is being investigated for espionage! DING! DING! DING! yeah I know, you don't believe it. But that doesn't mean it's not real! 😀 Now that you woke up get dressed and kiss the poster of Trump on the wall and tell him he's a good boy and you'll love him even if he is a traitor 😍
@SW-User Those Trumpers actually believe every word of what you just said. Except about the good agents.

It sure is entertaining watching the mental contortions the Reich-wingers go through here to explain why stopping treasonous behavior is actually an illegal overreach of a government law enforcement agency’s authority
I'm afraid we're nearing the point of having to herd all the Republicans into the nose cone of a giant rocket and shoot them into the sun. I don't see any way around it anymore. Literally the planet, all life, and the last shred of sanity is at stake.
I'm thinking this fuckwit will be in for a visit from one of those agencies and hopefully he will attempt to carry out his "plan", Darwinism at it's very finest 😖
