Virginia declares emergency Militias threaten to seize Gov.

[Bienenhalde]

dude...it's not excsluive you are right, but the methods of reporting are outrageous, "an outbreak of terrorism on american soil"

really.......someone had to check this and approve it and they DID which should speak volumes.

How is threatening a democratically elected legislature by marching around with heavy weaponry not terrorism?

Also, regardless, just because it says "opinion" doesn't give the paper a free pass to flat out publish literally fake news whenever it feels like it to sway public opinion on a matter.

Actually, if it is labeled as an opinion piece, an article can literally say anything. I actually disagree with the article as much or even more than my fellow pro-gun rights people on this thread, but I’m not going to get worked up for news outlets publishing articles LABLED AS OPINION that I don’t like. Opinion pieces are not news.

Except that its a large news agency and such opinion, pushed to the fore front, can influence people.

[Bienenhalde]

Or posted a picture from a BLM rally under the header "Boko Haram Rally Underway in Anytown USA!"

I could give it more of a pass if it was some low key, not very well followed website that was fringe but this was the The philidelphia Inquier

Yes the MSM is fake as fuck and honestly, Trump is right, they are the enemy to the common people because the stuff they spout is just...totalitarian levels of propaganda.

It would be erronious to conflate the billionare gun company executives who fund the NRA or a small number of fringe extremists with guns with the common people.

Generally terrorism refers to actual violence, not the implied threat of violence.

I'd say it's safe to say that only one guy was marching around with what would be considered a "heavy Weapon", and he clearly wasn't terrorizing anyone. So that pretty much sinks you're poorly thought out narrative here...

Also daily reminder that a peaceful protest/rally ISN'T terrorism and your hurt feelings isn't justification to call it so.

"democratically elected"

let me educate you on something: When your the governor of a province/state in a nation and then you completley go against your entire state/province just because a single city voted you in, your probably not doing your job well, not to mention.

And right-wing and/or pro-gun opinion pieces can also influence people. We can see that right-wing “news outlets” such as the Daily Wire and Fox News has HUDGE influence on people

Generally terrorism refers to actual violence, not the implied threat of violence.

Threats of violence are at the very least immoral and toxic to civil discourse, if not illegal.

so at what point do we start driving black vans in front of peoples houses and snatching them in the night? I'm just curious.

Richmond City is less than 1/20th of Virginia's population. It was a combination of NOVA, Hampton Roads, and Richmond plus its burbs that helped Governor Northram win by an 8 point margin back in 2017.

They're not immoral in the slightest, we're not engaged in civil discourse, and they're evidently not illegal, seeing as a picture of that fellow just got posted posing with a bunch of police officers.

Counter-Revolutionarys that must be dealt with in the future comrade

[Thermodolia]

Thousands of armed 2A supporters and no shooting, no rioting and no arrests. They even cleaned up after themselves unlike some.

The disappointed wails of the leftists, dems and MSM are music to my ears.

I also noted an extreme lack of antifa. I guess they don't like to play where they may end up shot.

Antifa was there. Just this time they where among the protesters and not against them

yeah, and they couldn't get away with attacking people this time either, a bit hard to show up to a 30K strong armed rally and attack conservatives.

2. Yeah, they were there in small amounts and only because they want weapons to overthrow capitalists.

That's also not the only pic of law enforcement either posing with rally goers or taking part in the rally itself.

It would be nice if we could just crack down on those troublemakers and impose law and order!

imagine being so brainwashed that you think a 30K+ people owning guns and being peaceful and asking for freedom of speech and firearms to be "neo-nazis"

I will say this, if the democrats win, we DESERVE whatever tyranny comes.
