I know of people in New Hampshire who have received letters saying if Trump wins, their homes will be burn down ! And that they should make sure that their homeowners insurance is paid !

It's all just sad!!! Both sides stoke division and then hatred amongst ourselves. The previous Prez did some stoking, the current Prez has had to defend his election from the start. HRC even said that Biden should not concede the results, and now they're pinning that same remark on current Prez. I rue the day when we had Reagan and Tip O'Neill working together, from different sides. 2021 couldn't come fast enough?! God Bless us all!

These are probably from some far right or far left agitators. Could be either one.

HISTORY WILL ALWAYS REPEAT ITSELF.

The Kent State shootings are exactly what comes to mind when I hear about the National Guard being called in to defend the government from its citizens (which is what they're proposing now).

The National Guard should always be ready to defend their citizens against rioting or other aggressive forms of civil unrest. Announcing the future deployment in advance is a threat, it's not a simple announcement of fact. It is a threat made by the government, against its citizenry.

I expect most, if not all, of the states are taking similar precautions. Sad !!!

I watched Lara Logan last night. Her presentation "The Socialist Invasion" was informative. I suggest everyone watch it if they can.

Look at it this way, did the burning in cities happen recently by radicals, Yes or No?

It depends on what you consider to be radicals I suppose. It's said in some "news" sources that they were started by alt-right actors who were brought in from outside specifically to create riots, so that the cities would blame the residents of starting the fires. It's also said that it was Antifa. It's also said it was the organization called BLM (as opposed to the movement, which is not an organization). It's also said it was started by residents who snapped after years of constant holding in the tension as a result of racial discrimination in every facet of their lives.

So - was it radicals? Might have been. But WHICH radicals? Radicals serving which side? The alt-right, or leftists? Or something even uglier? Or maybe it was just a couple of locals who had enough, went nuts, and the rest of the collective neighborhood picked up on the momentum and joined in.

What's more important than "who started the fight" is "why there was a fight at all."

This person wailed and pleaded for help more than 30 times as Dallas police officers pinned his shoulders, knees and neck to the ground.
“You’re gonna kill me! You’re gonna kill me! You’re gonna kill me!”

A WHITE Man by the name of Tony Timpa, who was probably buried in Potter's field burial grounds ....
Were their any destruction or burning by animals or even paid radicals after that, No!

I suggest all read about these groups. They have been traveling all over our country, doing what they do. They are not only well armed, but trained in what they want to accomplish. This is not about a small group...these are people "looking for trouble" and until someone speaks out and condemns, they will become more emboldened and dangerous.

You recal, the outrage in Philadelphia a few years ago. I believe there were 3 men armed and alone at one polling place. Not an armed and trained militia.

The left wing groups have been around, not nearly as well armed or trained but certainly dangerous, but we only condemn them

Someone is going to get hurt.

We have become Republicans and Democrats who happen to be Americans, instead of being Americans either Republican or Democrat.

i would like to add just ONE comment to your perceptive post: look up a picture of the founder of Proud Boys. he is a brother of color.

"You will vote for Trump on Election Day or we will come after you. Change your party affiliation to Republican to let us know you received our message and will comply."

And she has nothing to do with it anyway. She is NOT a problem. Not even a possible problem. So you want the National Guard to arrest her? I hope they can HANDLE her. She is pretty tough.

I could care less about the color of his skin, or anyone's for that matter.

The fact that is important to you is telling.

In my wildest dreams did I ever think, or could believe that my country would become so "third world", and while we always have had enemies, I never thought my country would be looked down on by the rest of the world, and frankly in every area you can name.

Nobody in the world believes us anymore, nor trusts us, nor even respects us.

But we are "macho" putting people in their place
