Imagine that, bomb threats right after a certain individual talked about it. Wonder what kind of person would be motivated to do such a thing?

Are people seriously doing this because they made trump look stupid?

The Russians are frantically trying to defend him on line and stroke violence. Right on schedule, it takes them 12 to 24 hours to write a new set of scripted talking points.

It's Pizzagate 2.0.
Remember that one? When Trump and his enablers claimed Hillary Clinton was doing horrible things to kids in the basement of a pizza place?
Some nutcase went to that pizza place packing heat and ended up getting arrested.
That specific pizza place didn't even have a basement.
Tank_Girl_Gritty_235@reddit
Comet Ping Pong. I used to live in that area and had a friend who worked there. It was absolutely terrifying watching a place and people I love live in fear. Even the pizza place down the street got harassed. It's maddening that this abominable cretin can whip people into such fury.
Tank_Girl_Gritty_235@reddit
More likely trump supporters who actually believe the Springfield government is letting immigrants run amok terrorizing residents and eating their pets.
Styl3Music@reddit
No. Either it's a troll who wanted to swat a city or it's genuine believers of Trump thinking they're warning the immigrants to stop eating pets.
SubstantialAbility17@reddit
So sad how easily people are lead to believe non sense
Styl3Music@reddit
Really is. It's hard to fault them when their screens and authority figures spew out 2 versions of nonsense.

All jokes aside, this is a worrying development with regard to the election result in November.
GeneralCal@reddit
This is the standard, not a development.
Any town, group, or individual that Trump mentions in an even remotely negative way is usually besieged by threats from MAGA folks. It was especially prevalent in 2020, so there's a larger number of examples from that time frame. But plenty over the last 8-9 years. Take your pick.

MAGA is basically a domestic terrorist group. This, hospitals, schools. If they were arabs making these threats, the FBI and Homeland security would be going door to door.
KillerKleavage@reddit
Interesting.... so who burned the cities down for during the summer of love? Or are they not domestic terrorists because it doesn't follow your agenda?
SunshineAndSquats@reddit
Do you mean the riots in Minneapolis that had white supremacist police officers smashing windows and inciting violence?
“A masked, umbrella-wielding man accused of helping incite riots and looting in the aftermath of George Floyd's police-involved death has been identified as a member of a white supremacist group that aimed to stir racial tensions amid largely peaceful Black Lives Matter protests, according to police.”
You also seem to have missed that “In more than 93% of all demonstrations connected to the movement, demonstrators have not engaged in violence or destructive activity. Peaceful protests are reported in over 2,400 distinct locations around the country”
KillerKleavage@reddit
Oh man. That 1 disgusting human being was responsible for all of the damage?
Deaths: 19 confirmed Injuries: 2,000+ law enforcement officials and an unknown number of civilians. Property damage: $1–2 billion
That is crazy. We are going on this train? Do we want to discuss the plants in the J6 crowd as well or just the theories that support your side? It's OK, we will agree to disagree on what the "truth" is. Regardless of which way you want to take this it appears we will both have our beliefs.
SunshineAndSquats@reddit
You know which domestic terrorists cost us billions of dollars annually and have caused the most deaths? Right wing terrorist organizations have killed over 335 people in the US and cost billions of dollars in both destruction and federal spending in counter terrorism. Right wing terrorism is the number 1 threat to the United States.
“In 14 of the 21 years between 1994 and 2019 in which fatal terrorist attacks occurred, the majority of deaths resulted from right-wing attacks. In eight of these years, right-wing attackers caused all of the fatalities, and in three more—including 2018 and 2019—they were responsible for more than 90 percent of annual fatalities.”
KillerKleavage@reddit
So that I understand this, you believe that Republicans are white nationalists?
SunshineAndSquats@reddit
Don’t put words in my mouth because you are losing the argument. White nationalists are Republicans.
KillerKleavage@reddit
First, I asked a clarifying question and did not make a statement as to your position, but you just did. Second, there is no winning or losing an online argument because no one will ever concede.
Additionally, I think you should research Democrats and the KKK.
Blind hatred and media bias does not equal facts. Do I agree those acts were horrendous? Absolutely. Were they supported or endorsed by the Republican party? Absolutely not. I provided quoted proof that multiple people from the Democratic party supported the rioting in 2020. Your turn.
AngelofVerdun@reddit
No one is talking about this. But, curious how you were so quick to try to divert attention to something completely different. Guilty conscious much?
KillerKleavage@reddit
Well you see, the comment stated that MAGA is a domestic terrorist group based on supposed actions that are not supported by the people you would call MAGA nor the politicians you would consider the same. When there are actual proven domestic terrorists that destroyed cities and killed people and were not only allowed to roam free but were actually applauded and stoked by sitting Democrat Congresspeople and other Democrat politicians. Not diverting attention just providing a counter to the statement made. No guilt here.
Elena_Handbasket@reddit
“Destroyed cities…” are you even reading what you’re writing? Show me the ruins of one US city that was destroyed, or cut the fucking hyperbole. There’s only one side actively trying to destroy the fabric of US society, and it sure as fuck ain’t the dems.
KillerKleavage@reddit
According to a September 2020 insurance estimate, arson, vandalism, and looting caused about $1–2 billion. I mean, I guess an entire city wasn't destroyed, so ya got me there, but I also forgot that Reddit is a Dem safe haven even in the prepping community, apparently. Would love for you to show me how Republicans are trying to destroy the fabric of US society. Pretty sure the fabric of our society is built on the constitution and seems to me they want to uphold that fundamental building block.
Elena_Handbasket@reddit
If the totality of Reddit is such a dem safe haven, then what the fuck are you doing here? Go commiserate in your heavily moderated r/conservative community or Twitter or Truth Social.
And the leader of your MAGA party is completely out in the open now, cozying up to his neo-nazi buddies. He ain’t here in good faith. But keep on simping for him and pretending he isn’t going to go full fascist on day one if he’s elected.
KillerKleavage@reddit
Gotcha. Keep watching CNN and enjoy your life.
lituga@reddit
I wouldn't say MAGA, but the vast majority of domestic terrorists ARE right wing and largely trump supporters. That's a fact
The FBI has been shutting down ~40 domestic plots a year which we don't hear about
SunshineAndSquats@reddit
This just happened this week. “The Justice Department on Monday charged two California individuals who were alleged leaders of a white supremacist group that wanted to ignite a race war in the United States and allegedly plotted to kill "high value" targets and incite its followers to carry out terror attacks around the globe.” These nut jobs were trying to incite violence against POC, LGBTQ, and Federal Officials. One of their followers killed two LGBTQ people in Slovakia.
“The threat of domestic terrorism is on the rise inside the United States, and acts of violence carried out by white supremacists is the single most lethal type of domestic violent extremism that we see in the country right now,” Assistant Attorney General Matt Olsen told ABC News Chief Justice Correspondent Pierre Thomas.”
lituga@reddit
yup it is #1. I didn't realize the extent to which it really existed here til I read a New Yorker article about it a few weeks back https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2024/08/26/infiltrating-the-far-right
SunshineAndSquats@reddit
Thanks for the article!

In California we are anxious to learn more about the motives of the San Bernadino arsonist of the Line Fire and supposedly at least 3 other fires. JUSTIN WAYNE HALSTENBERG
If he’s right wing. Ooof. Why! Just to say California isn’t raking their forests enough?

"This was the first fire that set off a string of fires and looting throughout the precinct and the rest of the city," Erika Christensen, a Minneapolis Police Department arson investigator, wrote in a search warrant affidavit filed in court this week. "Until the actions of ... 'Umbrella Man,' the protests had been relatively peaceful."
"The actions of this person created an atmosphere of hostility and tension. Your affiant believes that this individual's sole aim was to incite violence," she added
Derek Chaur said the suspect is associated with the Aryan Cowboys, which the warrant describes as a "known prison gang out of Minnesota and Kentucky." The Anti-Defamation League lists the Aryan Cowboys as a white supremacist prison and street gang, although the group's Facebook page claims it doesn't care "about a person's color."

Amazing how fast the person you're responding to deleted their comment. Wonder if it was introspection or the realization that their propaganda doesn't work on anyone paying attention.

AntiSonOfBitchamajig@reddit
I see multiple issues.
So, as I see it, both locally, and I am somewhat through that area particular. The things I've heard even before the debate have been wild. There are also other communities where immigrants have been "brought in" to fill jobs. Even at MY local level huge factory projects that in the beginning, promised local jobs, then brought in immigrants to fill them. Housed them on site in shipping container style housing stacked up. Larger and expanding contractors are hiring them over local youth trying to start out just because they have more of their thumb over them. There have been accidents, some really serious like the 285 truck accident that have involved companies not adhering to law / regulations using immigrants for their cheap labor. People being angry with the situation, on a base level, when that base is being taken over, just.... I feel bad for the younger adults trying to compete in that, I see many have given up.
I see the immigration being pushed by government as a solution to stave off the coming "demographics crisis" / tax base...that leads to sovereign debt crisis. Which ironically is consistently ranked lowest amongst our monthly concern polls.
Among the things I personally have seen, they DO ADHERE to their local customs, which is a totally different set of rules and lifestyle from our own. Customs from a small as cutting through properties, littering, to the food thing, I have personally SEEN LOCAL GAME WARDENS blow up on them, mainly fishing, where they will take any fish home with them. Catch them in any way they can, etc. Other animals such as geese, or cats, does not surprise me, nor do the pictures / videos I've seen as it is similar. You see videos of "appalling conditions" overseas... well, that is what they have been used to. With the life they came from, then mix in the drug problems, and crime that PLAGUE Appalachia into the midwest to begin with, it just amplifies it. Base jobs becoming a worsening issue... amplifies the problems even more for locals. The wages being sent out of state as many of the immigrant workers do, does not enrich the local community, but takes from it. Housing costs with more demand coming in from it.... worsens it even more. Add in the, I'll just say "type" of people that are down that way, you have a powder keg, a serious powder keg.
FightingIbex@reddit
Pull your lens back. There are these sorts of conflicts in most communities, whether based on race and culture or some other issue. What we have here is the artificial amplification of a preexisting issue in order to win political points. If your base is a group of rage addicts who require continuous stimulation of dopamine receptors to engage them, you must constantly look for topics, real or imagined, to stoke that fire. This is their next topic. So far most has been debunked.
AntiSonOfBitchamajig@reddit
You're not even near here and you seem to be stuck in your own narrow view.... your profile is nothing but condescending comments unconstructive to any topic.
CaramelMeowchiatto@reddit
As far as the stealing pets and taking geese from parks, though, if that’s really going on, why hasn’t anyone come forward with any kind of evidence? One would think someone would have gotten video or pictures on their cell phone, at least. And the Springfield paper reported that the Clark County combined dispatch center went through eleven months of records looking to see if any calls about that had come in. The only thing they found was one August 26 call claiming four Haitians had taken some geese. The responding officers found no evidence whatsoever in that case. It’s a tinderbox right now and I’m really afraid someone might get hurt.
AntiSonOfBitchamajig@reddit
They do get reported, but not recorded. Like the fish at local lakes and reservoirs, they get chewed out, more than officially reported when they are actually caught as they "fish" over time. The larger game, happens and officers take 20+ minutes to respond and by that time they're gone. It's similar to theft, they have to catch them in the act to really be effective with the process.
Evidence is a difficult thing, I PERSONALLY caught a thief breaking and entering my home / garage. I had them on VIDEO.....vehicle and all. During the report with the sheriff they even came back into the driveway.... saw the sheriff, and bolted, sheriff went after them and lost them. I Was still unable to convict them lawfully after we processed everything, found the car... everything. $15,000+ gone. . . just like that. So when people say evidence... I warn them it is never fully a clear cut thing, even with video and a sheriff witnessing.
As far as a tinderbox, the guys I know have been upset for years, Militia types through rural Ohio / Indiana / Michigan, almost have to be careful where you talk with them, they're monitored... Like how they caught the guys in Michigan going after Whitmer in 2020. The only thing I feel is stopping them is just confirming targets that would actually "make a difference." The whole situation, I see only getting worse due to how everything is currently structured. The base jobs thing... to afford life... is a VERY REAL ISSUE right now, when theres nothing left to sell... people will be desperate and blame will be made more publicly than what we have been seeing. It, as my other comment in another thread says, "it boils down to the money"... let me get that. : "my core belief is that it always boils down to the money. And, I believe since 2001 market downturn and especially 08, they've taken inflation to the point where the common standard of living has declined from past generations... leading into a demographics collapse. Where, politicians realize among the few solutions, immigration could slow it / pad the tax base to drag out sovereign debt collapse. The central banks through half the world are between a rock and a hard place... and the banks below them even more so. The lengths they've gone already has been extraordinary, I saw a "negative treasury bond" in the US in 2021... literally negative. Or the FED creating SPVs through Blackrock to buy securities in the stock market in 2020... sending checks and literally tens of thousands to the average man through EIDL and hundreds of thousands through PPP that were never recovered..... Saw markets frozen on multiple occasions to "prevent losses" for the billionaire brokers and private equity firms. So much I have seen in just 4 years, it has a casino feel, where even if you win "at the slots" the house can say the machine "malfunctioned" ... they'll misallocate until slowly, then all at once it fails, in the trust of the system by it's own people. Just as happened to every fiat currency the world over in the last 700+ years. The history is echoing."
Again... this is just how I'm seeing the big picture, kind of like the fall of Rome situation. Then you see a great migration to the start of the next bubble. Same cycles that happen over and over, some well worse than others.
