A case of political terrorism in North Caroline (with a touch of irony thrown in)

So some crazy left wingers decide to firebomb a GOP office in North Carolina. There was also graffiti written which told the "nazi republicans" to leave town or else.

The act itself is a vile attack on democracy. And what is with these people throwing around the nazi word? This act harkens back to a pre world war 2 Germany where the numero uno Nazi, Adolf Hitler, was beginning his rise to power. Old Adolf had the assistance of a group of people known as the The Sturmabteilung. This group was known as brown shirts because of the color of their uniforms. They were bullies and violent people who used similar tactics to influence the political process in Germany in the 1920's and 1930's. Kind of ironic calling the people in this GOP office Nazis.

Just a sad commentary on what our political process has become. I guess forcing the opposition to cancel rallies due to violence was not enough. Thankfully no one was hurt.

So round them up and throw the book at them? What is the problem?

I think you'll have trouble puffing it up to what the Nazis did with the Reichstag fire, but give it your best shot.

Hyperbole is *not* your friend.

And then there is the simple fact that the hard/alt/racist/fascist right is in the Trump camp. Seems like they have a heck of a lot more in common with the Nazis than some unknown possible 'left winger' who apparently doesn't like Trump.

I'll let you get back to your frothing now.

Why are alt-right nutjobs firebombing their own place and trying to make it look like someone else did it...

 

[TheNoblePlatypus]

At this point in the election, them burning their own building down is about as likely as roaming bands of crazy Nazi liberals throwing molotovs.

[david spade voice]And this has relevance to someone spray painting that republicans are Nazis how? [/David spade voice]

Or is it because it was one small office that got burned so we should just ignore it? I could reference many more instances of violent liberals and their behavior this election but you would probably claim it was the Russians trying to influence the election.

Ahh yes. The alt-right narrative delivered straight from the DNC Office of Propaganda. Time to turn on the lights.... This thread has attracted to many roaches.

 

[sandorski]

I'll be glad when all this shit is over. All this hyperbolic bullshit is just annoying now.

Find the culprits, Charge, Convict, and throw them in jail.

 

[Sheik Yerbouti]

would I be surprised if it was drumpf supporters doing it to gain some empathy or put hillary supporters in a bad light, no. do I think that's what happened? no, probably not. I agree with sandorski 100%. It is no longer amusing it is no longer entertainment, it's a shitshow, nothing more. 2 of the least favorable candidates in modern history vying for the highest office in the land. damn.

Gofundme page raises over 10k set up by Democrats to help fix up this mess...

The town is democrat biased 5 to 1. Does that change your odds?

don't believe I laid out any odds of any measure. just a simple statement that I would not be surprised if it turned out to be drumpf supporters doing it. but I do not think it's likely.

 

[Puffnstuff]

Oh man this sounds like a late game carnival move designed to gain sympathy among undecided voters.

 

[Chaotic42]

Horrible. Hopefully they catch these jerks and throw the book at them.

Whoever did it belongs in jail. Are you getting all snugly in that mantle of faux outrage & victimhood? Maybe you should buy more guns just to feel secure.

heh...

This remake of the Reichstag fire suffers from lackluster casting and direction. Zero stars. https://t.co/ZPYtGkHXUm

Time to play conservative mindset: Someone over a Kos has noted that the swastika at the crime scene is drawn in the fashion of the white nationalists, not the straight-angled version of Hitler's Germany. Still, other people are questioning the incident:

Many people are saying Trump or his fans staged that firebombing in NC to look liberals did it. I’m not saying that. But many people are.

That's how you play the conservative blame game, right?

 

[UberNeuman]

There's no excuse for this behavior and it should be investigated and those responsible should face charges...

When the whites aren't a'feared and a'clamorin' for a Strongman enough, sometimes you have to give them a little extra scare. Like a blah man carving a B into someone's cheek.

Because Rmoneyslide!

 

[JSt0rm]

the whole world was going to end the day after obama was elected. Just look at the numbers!!!

 

[trenchfoot]

I say we put on our wide angle perspective glasses and realize that this is one specific incident that should be handled the way it should, and similarly, where other incidents of which white supremacists have allegedly committed crimes against the citizenry, refrain from painting this incident with a wide brush that paints the whole canvas red out of anger or some other agenda.

let me guess.

she did that to herself in the mirror?
