Politicians and bureaucrats are considered productive if they swarm the populace like a plague of locust, devouring all substance in their path and leaving a swath of destruction like a firestorm. The technical term is "bipartisanship".

So calling for the extermination of white people as a whole is first amendment, and declaring some judges must die is a death threat. Got it.

Now, not saying this guy isn't, what's a suitable word... Tactless? Impudent? Moron? It'd just be nice if the double standard wasn't quite so blatant all the time.

The language is certainly strong, but I don't see how it constitutes a death threat.  ???

Agreed that the words do not seem a death threat.

I'm perfuddled that they got a conviction in Brooklyn.  Would have thought that de bums dat live dere would have less sympathy for judges.

stay safe.

If cowardly and dishonorable men sometimes shoot unarmed men with army pistols or guns, the evil must be prevented by the penitentiary and gallows, and not by a general deprivation of a constitutional privilege.

Hey you kids!! Get off my lawn!!!

They keep making this eternal vigilance thing harder and harder.  Protecting the 2nd amendment is like playing PACMAN - there's no pause button so you can go to the bathroom.

They had to try 3 times to get a conviction.

evidently, he provided photo's of the judges and courthouse where they worked, and a map to the courthouse.  he used to work for the FBI as an "agent provocateur"?  if true, it sounds like he was still playing their game.

It is much more powerful to seek Truth for one's self.  Seeing and hearing that others seem to have found it can be a motivation.  With me, I was drawn because of much error and bad judgment on my part. Confronting one's own errors and bad judgment is a very life altering situation.  Confronting the errors and bad judgment of others is usually hypocrisy.
