OT: Stupid Idiots plotting to overthrow the gov't get caught by FBI. [LOCKED]

Submitted by JamesBondHerpesMeds on October 8th, 2020 at 12:14 PM

There's no other way, really, to describe a bunch of stupid neckbeards gathering in a field to try and overthrow the Governor, then getting caught by the FBI trying to do it.

As smitten with the Mitten as we all are...these boys are dumb, and they should feel dumb.

[Locking this up.  I just took a quick 3-minute scan thru 6 pages and it's obvious the thread had long-ago degenerated into mostly mud-slinging.]

Multiple videos clearly showing Caserta with an anarchist flag in the background. Has strong anti-government rhetoric and clearly doesn’t support the POTUS. So thankful this plot was was found out and prevented. That guy is a lunatic.

The intellectual dishonesty in here is astounding. These whack jobs are not antifa leftists. This is the same group of people that trump encouraged to liberate the state. 

Btw nice job by all the people trying to make a thread about an actual kidnapping plot of the Governor into a referendum on antifa.

Did you watch the videos? The rhetoric is anti-government and there is an anarchist flag in the background. It doesn’t matter with whom or idea this guys associates with. He’s a lunatic and we’re all happy his plot was foiled.

You called him a lunatic and cited his anti-government / conspiratorial rhetoric as evidence that he is off his rocker.

I am asking if you feel the same about POTUS who delegitimizes the FBI, CIA, military, press etc, etc as they are all out to get him and there is a deep state conspiracy against him. Can you not see that when the leader of the country actively subverts its institutions, it emboldens and validates the tin foil hat folk?

He's a lunatic because he was a part of an evil plot to kidnap another person and harm police. Domestic terrorism has consistently occurred in the United States. Recent examples are Tim McVey, Kyle Aaron Huff and Ted Kaczynski.

Sorry but this is not “dumb.”  
 

This is deadly dangerous fucking insanity.  It is also what happens when a President openly promotes this kind of agenda.

Here's one of the neckbeards, the aforementioned Brandon Caserta,  I recognize the anarchist symbol on the flag on the left, but I'm not certain what variant of the US flag is shown on the right.  Anybody know what it represents?

I am a life long Republican or third party voter. And I have yet to hear one argument from one person whimpering about Whitmer which is much more than weak partisan crap equating valid safety inconveniences with smothering of "rights". Rights they invariably know nothing about.

 

It's laughably transparent. 

 

If she had an R by her name, these Whitmer hating nimrods would be finding some Democrat somewhere to gripe about.

 

Health and safety measure inconveniences are nothing compared to what the spreading of the virus would mean to everyone. Which we know would happen without these measure.
