After seeing the pics of those twerps, perps or whatever the hell they are, I’m kinda surprised they knew how to operate/disarm the safety.

Regardless, they are a good argument for bringing back public executions.

Both sides are crooked and full of creeps. Everyone just fighting each other while the world looks on and thinks WTF

The January 6th protestors had fewer guns than these folks. Quite the insurrection. If the 🇺🇸 lost more respect because of January 6th as opposed to the actions of the last administration, you’ve been watching too much TV.

Crazy thing is, all of these dimwits buy into the bullshit that the media and others who sit up high, spew on a daily basis.

The ones that are quite well off financially, and fully insulated from the quagmire they've created. 

And these idiots take their marching orders like good little dupes, and ultimately pay the price for their blind allegiance to "the cause".

 

Seriously, take a good damn look at those ten idiots.

Full on followers.

Never an original thought in their entire lives.

No ambition. 

No viable life skills.

Nothing, nada, zilch.

I’d be interested to know what he’s trying to say…because, it’s not a good look…I mean, damn. 

Between this and where some people have taken the discussion in the Guadalupe thread…

Targeting ice agents is fucked up and so is starting a fire and shooting at the fire fighters.

Yes, and there are politically motivated wrongdoers on both sides.  But that’s missing the point. 

The echo chambers we have on both sides today think they are on the righteous side and the other side is the flawed group. And that type of thinking is a trap. 

Everyone on the left thinks the right is brainwashed and everyone on the right thinks the left is.   The truth is somewhere in the middle.  Both parties use this tactic and it further divides the populous. 


it just feels like a massive psy-op operation is in progress on the whole us population at this point.

Yeah well, I don't remember anyone leaning to the right, rioting,  conservative politicians calling for violence, actually committing violence, trying to barge their way into detention centers, leaving cities and businesses destroyed in their wake.

Or mayors and governors calling for resistance against federal agents. 

The list goes on and on. 

 

So enough of your passive aggressive bullshit. 

You know damn good and well what the subject matter of this thread is. 

It's about a group of fucked up leftist losers who pulled off a half ass attempt at following the orders that have been given out by numerous politicians, squad members, and bolstered by their media cohorts.

I’d have to google that one as well, also, thanks for your honesty about looking up the first one. 
 
I will say, though, those don’t answer the question at hand. Those are just nuts ( yes, there are some on this side as well ) going nuts  

I was asking for  examples of right wing leaders enciting violence. 

Sorry if I wasn’t clear.

Well, he was a transplant from shit hole California wasn’t he? Secondly, Coeur d’ Alene area isn’t exactly rural. It’s the second biggest population center in the state. It’s a city by Idaho standards. Nice try dawg but it’s pretty clear that ou don’t have a motherfucking clue what you’re talking about on this one. The question is, you man enough to admit that was a dumb fuck comment or not? Balls in your court Soggy, you gonna be a fucking real man or you gonna be a bitch that can’t admit they were wrong and keep trying to spin your idiocy to be right?

Right now…as we’re discussing…as titled…in this thread…aka, CASE IN POINT…Leftist WOULDBE & ACTUAL FUCKING ASSASSINS. FUCK! 

The Left is AMBUSHING AND SHOOTING AT I.C.E. AGENTS..

AT MULTIPLE LOCATIONS.

So…that begs an explanation to the original question asked by SMF. Which you’ve side stepped. As usual.

Right now…from the “Anti-ICE RIOTS” in L.A. and multiple OTHER BIG BLUE AMERICAN CITIES…it is all COMING FROM THE LEFT.

AND IT IS SUPPORTED BY THE POLITICAL LEADERSHIP “ON THE LEFT”.

Go try your bullshit about “it’s everyone” somewhere-else.

Pardoned Jan. 6 Rioter Sentenced to Life in Assassination Plot
Edward Kelley had been convicted of plotting to kill the law enforcement officers who had investigated his case.


By Alan Feuer
July 3, 2025


A Tennessee man pardoned by President Trump for taking part in the attack on the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, has been sentenced to life in prison for hatching a separate plot to assassinate the law enforcement officers who investigated his role in the riot.

The life term imposed on the man, Edward Kelley, came during a hearing on Wednesday in Federal District Court in Knoxville, Tenn. Mr. Kelley was convicted at a trial there in November of charges that included conspiracy to murder federal employees and threatening federal agents.

During the trial, prosecutors presented evidence that in 2022, while Mr. Kelley was at home facing charges in his Jan. 6-related case, he formed a group “that was preparing for armed conflict against the United States government” — specifically, the F.B.I. Mr. Kelley, a former Marine, had been deployed to both Iraq and Afghanistan.

He made a list of nearly 40 people who had been involved in his arrest or who had helped to search his home as part of the Jan. 6 investigation, targeting them for assassination, prosecutors said. Mr. Kelley also planned to attack an F.B.I. office in Knoxville, prosecutors said, using improvised explosive devices attached to vehicles and drones.

He was ultimately turned in by one of his co-conspirators who secretly recorded him.

Just weeks before his conviction in Knoxville, Mr. Kelley was also found guilty of assault, civil disorder and obstruction of an official proceeding by a federal judge at a bench trial in Washington for his role in the Capitol attack.

Prosecutors say he wore a gas mask and a tactical helmet when he showed up on Jan. 6 and scuffled with a Capitol Police officer, throwing him to the ground.

Mr. Kelley then used a long piece of wood to shatter a window near the Senate Wing door, breaching the building, prosecutors say. After he got in, they said, he helped kick open a nearby door, allowing more members of the mob to enter the building.

Before he was sentenced in that case, however, he was pardoned by Mr. Trump as part of the sweeping grant of clemency that the president gave to the nearly 1,600 people charged in connection with the Capitol attack.

Mr. Kelley’s lawyers sought to have his assassination case thrown out as well, arguing that the crimes he was charged with had emerged from the investigation on Jan. 6 and thus were covered by Mr. Trump’s pardon.

But Judge Thomas A. Varlan, who presided over the assassination case, rejected that argument, saying that the plot to murder law enforcement officers took place in Tennessee, not Washington, and unfolded well after the events of Jan. 6.

In court papers filed to Judge Varlan last month, prosecutors said that Mr. Kelley had shown no remorse for his crimes and “continues to believe he was justified in targeting East Tennessee law enforcement for assassination.”

The prosecutors told Judge Varlan that during a recorded phone call with an associate last November, while he was in jail awaiting trial, Mr. Kelley complained that he was being wrongfully prosecuted.

“I’m here unjustly, man,” he said. “I’m a patriot, and I’m never ever going to apologize for trying to keep your family safe. Sometimes there’s casualties. I’m one of them.”
