‘Shoot a couple, the rest will go home’: Far-right groups are sharing scary messages ahead of ‘No Kings’ protests

Far-right groups are sharing violent messages ahead of the “No Kings” protests this weekend to coincide with President Donald Trump’s military birthday parade.

Accounts associated with extremist groups are also sharing detailed information about protest organizers, including names and where they work, The Wall Street Journal reports.

Protests in more than 2,000 cities are scheduled to take place Saturday.

“Shoot a couple, the rest will go home,” one meme circulating on a Proud Boys Telegram channel said.

Another meme posted in the channel depicted four armed men. “HANG THE TRAITORS, EXPEL THE INVADERS,” it said.

Obviously you follow and thereby support the far right more than. Most Republicans

How does a group organize, advertise, develop signs and organizers nation wide in less than two weeks?

No kings? Yeah, it isn’t nationally funded and certainly organic.

Never, that is their MO. They didn’t learn after the last election. No reason to believe they will ever learn.

The dangerous rhetoric that got these two people shot was from the Right.

 

[essentialsaltes]

Obviously you follow ... the far right

It's certainly one of the reasons I'm here. To keep an eye on rightwing Christian extremism.

How does a group organize, advertise, develop signs and organizers nation wide in less than two weeks?

It didn't. This has been planned longer than that, and the first NO KINGS protest was on Presidents Day in February.

No one is claiming that the coordinated 2000+ protests against Trump today are not coordinated and organized. The primary organizer is a group called "50501" (fifty-fifty-one) spun up recently and "Indivisible" which has been around and challenging Trump for 8 years. The planning has been going on since Trump announced his birthday parade.

I wouldn't even respond to this part in this thread, but the timing of this assassination seem quite clearly intended to intimidate participants in the "No Kings" protests, in addition to disrupting the partisan control of the MN legislature.

I hope they find this guy and soon, before he hurts anyone else.

It sure seems that way. I hope they release his manifesto. These people are crazy. There are crazy violent people from all sides of the political spectrum.

When I heard about the No Kings events I immediately became concerned about what was going to happen. I do think most of them will be peaceful, but there are Hotspots where I fully expect riots and violence.

Indeed, as I've said, there are nuts on both sides of the political spectrum. The hate speech is heavy in Minnesota, particularly with Walz. We don't know who the shooter is, but it's a good guess this was politically motivated. The violent rhetoric against conservatives resulted in the opposite effect.
