Trump supporters call for riots and violent retribution after verdict

May 31 - Supporters of former President Donald Trump, enraged by his conviction on 34 felony counts by a New York jury, flooded pro-Trump websites with calls for riots, revolution and violent retribution. After Trump became the first U.S. president to be convicted of a crime, his supporters responded with dozens of violent online posts, according to a Reuters review of comments on three Trump-aligned websites: the former president's own Truth Social platform, Patriots.Win and the Gateway Pundit. Some called for attacks on jurors, the execution of the judge, Justice Juan Merchan, or outright civil war and armed insurrection. “Someone in NY with nothing to lose needs to take care of Merchan,” wrote one commentator on Patriots.Win. “Hopefully he gets met with illegals with a machete,” the post said in reference to illegal immigrants. On Gateway Pundit, one poster suggested shooting liberals after the verdict. “Time to start capping some leftys,” said the post. “This cannot be fixed by voting." Threats of violence and intimidating rhetoric soared after Trump lost the 2020 election and falsely claimed the vote was stolen. As he campaigns for a second White House term, Trump has baselessly cast the judges and prosecutors in his trials as corrupt tools of the Biden administration, intent on sabotaging his White House bid.

To be fair, I don't think it is for the vast majority.

But Trump has a knack for motivating the worst of his extremist supporters to commit violence for him.

It's sad, really.  They risk a lot for him, and he risks practically nothing.  And then, when they're sitting in jail, or out on bail, expecting a pardon from their ringleader...crickets. 

And then the inauguration went on, anyway.  They accomplished nothing except to make criminals of themselves, for a criminal who doesn't give two shits about them.

Other pro-Trump protesters joined in on telling the anti-Trump protester to leave, with one of them grabbing and ripping up one of the anti-Trump signs

This was at the Trump trial.  Trump supporters got violent, and destroyed property.  As reported by Fox News.

And, as the article states, it's Trump supporters calling for violence.

So you hold that 'conservatives' destroy property on certain occasions.

But you believe 'the left' does it every time something does not go their way.

What a bizarre alternate reality you have devised.

Another point.   Why is it that some are constantly viewing reality in terms of groups (labels)?   Everything to some is a stereotype.   'Conservatives' behave one way.  'Liberals' behave some other way.  'The left' (whatever you have imagined that to be) behaves a certain way too.

That is naive and faulty.   All conservatives do NOT have the same mind and same behavior.   Same for 'the left'.   Stereotypes are an excellent way to grossly oversimplify reality and impose confirmation bias through the use of labels.    

It is cheap and errant analysis which leads to routinely getting things wrong.

OOOOOHHHH...tore a sign up. Such a violent act s/.  Maybe that person should have attempted to burn down the courthouse to be on par with a liberal.

"it's Trump supporters calling for violence."

Calling for and acting on it are two different things. The left is well known for the latter.

Was the sign property?

It was.

Was the Capitol building property?

It was.

Reuters recently documented   the most sustained spate of political violence in the United States since a decade of upheaval that began in the late 1960s. To date, the news organization has identified at least 232 violent incidents fueled by political motives since the storming of the U.S. Capitol by supporters of former President Donald Trump on Jan. 6, 2021. The events range from riots to brawls at political demonstrations to beatings and murders.

The incidents involve violence emanating from across the political spectrum, including dozens of cases of substantial property damage by leftists at political demonstrations. But of the 22 fatal incidents among the total tally, involving the deaths of 44 victims and 11 attackers, most were attributed to assailants, like Aldrich, who expressed beliefs associated with the extreme right, Reuters found.

In 15 of those attacks, in which 38 victims and seven attackers died, the perpetrator had articulated far-right beliefs, many of them targeting racial, sexual or other minorities. Only one fatal incident – the 2022 stabbing of a journalist by a public administrator in Nevada – was carried out by an assailant clearly identified with the left.

Pretty much. Can't think of any time they haven't.

Then you have a reality filter that you should lose.

Recently, the SCotUS denied Jack Smith's request to rule on Trump's immunity claims because he predicted this would end up in their laps eventually.   (He was correct.)  The SCotUS required this to first be handled by the DC Court of Appeals.   So, after the lower court ruled (not in Trump's favor), this matter came back to the SCotUS.   Instead of accepting the lower court ruling that of course Trump is not 100% immune, the SCotUS decided now to take the case.   They heard it 6 weeks later and we are still waiting for them to state the obvious:  Trump (no PotUS) is 100% immune from prosecution for his actions while PotUS.

This (I am very disappointed to say) is the SCotUS (which used to be our last bastion of objectivity) intentionally delaying the Jan 6th case just like judge Cannon is intentionally delaying the classified documents case.   Both agents will likely prevail and the US electorate will not know if the GOP nominee is guilty of the crimes outlined in the respective indictments before they consider their vote.

Where is 'the left' rioting and storming buildings (e.g. the Supreme Court building)?   

Here is one recent and critically important case where 'the left' "havent't".

Are you then disagreeing with Joe Biden who said that Trump should be given the opportunity to appeal his conviction? You do understand that any appeal will go to the New York Court of Appeals first. That is considered a higher court than the court that found him guilty. He can also appeal up the ladder, all the way to the Supreme Court if he wants to. That is the hallmark of the American legal system.

Strange that you would disagree with Biden.

President Biden said Friday after former  President Donald Trump  was found guilty in his New York criminal trial "he'll be given the opportunity, as he should, to appeal that decision, just like everyone else has that opportunity." Biden says Trump 'should' have opportunity to appeal conviction, grins and ignores questions | Fox News

The State of New York has three levels. The trial court where Trump was found guilty is a trial court. As Biden said, Trump can appeal that decision to a higher court. Not sure why you disregard this.

The New York court system has three levels:  Trial courts - including the Supreme Courts (unlike in the federal system), the Appellate Divisions of the Supreme Court, and the Court of Appeals , which is the court of last resort (similar to the Supreme Court in the federal system).

There's a concept. Above the law. Let's take Trump out of it to calm people down. 

Imagine a world  where "judges" are given power to enforce vague, elastic rules that are almost entirely discretionary and subjective.  The judges are very loyal to their partisan team while claiming to be objective. They use their powers to charge any behavior that is even an arguably an infraction by those not on their team. The Judges only charge  the most  egregious, inarguable violations by their own team. Some members of the team are so protected that they are never cited, no matter how blatantly they violate the rules.  When the judges do cite their own team they then charge them to the least extent possible.  An objective study of the  numbers of citations demonstrates a clear bias, with judges either only citing members of the other team or a token amount  so no objective person can  dispute the lopsided nature of justice in this world.

So , in this world, when the judges charge their opponents with subjective violations with no objective standards  while ignoring similar and much more egregious  behavior from their own team, are they actually  showing that that their opponents aren't above the law, or are they just engaging in unequal justice?

It wasn't vague, Sean.  I know you choose to think so, but it is an easily-read, easily-interpreted law.  And he broke it.  And was convicted of doing so.  The prosecution presented the evidence, the evidence persuaded the jury, and the law applied to Trump's actions.

The judge didn't charge Trump.  He presided over the trial.

Of course it is, which is why New York has never prosecuted anyone under it before despite countless opportunities. Elastic, subjective laws let the Javert's of the world run rampant and wield what power they have to enforce personal and political vendettas.  That's indisputable.  

o, but it is an easily-read, easily-interpreted law.

The fact that not a single progressive here was able to even correctly articulate the prosecution's theory (until today) as to what crime Trump committed no matter how many times they were asked and given that information belies that point.

I'm not the only one who thinks so, Sean.

"I think it's very smart of prosecutors to use this state law, whether it's been used before or not," said Jeffrey M. Wice, who teaches state election law at New York Law School.

Wice noted that two judges — Merchan and Judge Alvin K. Hellerstein, a Manhattan federal judge who rejected   Trump's attempt to move the hush-money case   to federal court — upheld the use of 17-152 in this case.

" It's a solid statute and very straightforward ," Wice said. "Just as we have to expect the unexpected from Donald Trump, we have to also expect the unexpected from prosecutors and the jury."

You repeatedly saying otherwise doesn't make it so, nor does your objection to its application render it illegitimate.

Yeah, you got me:

usiness Insider asked two veteran New York election-law attorneys — one a Republican, the other a Democrat — about the law, also known as "Conspiracy to promote or prevent election."

Neither one could recall a single time when it had been prosecuted.

"I've never heard of it actually being used, and I've practiced election law for 53 years," Brooklyn attorney and former Democratic NY state Sen. Martin Connor said of section 17-152.

"I would be shocked — really shocked — if you could find anybody who can give you an example where this section was prosecuted," agreed Joseph T. Burns, attorney for the Erie County Republican Committee in Buffalo, New York.

"I would be absolutely floored," Burns continued, "if you could find anyone prosecuting this in the last 40 years."

Two highly respected law professors specializing in New York election law said the same.

Neither could cite a time when 17-152 — a misdemeanor that's been on the state's election law books since at least the mid-1970s — had been used.

So another link that confirms what I've said.  It's never been used to prosecute anyone in the history of the state despite countless opportunities. So much for equal justice.

They know (because there’s a tape) that he made the call to find the phantom votes in Georgia; they know he cheats on his taxes; they know that he has contempt for women; they know he tried to derail the certification of the election; and they know that he took the documents and refused to give them back. They know that almost every word out of his mouth is a lie.

Trump’s Republican allies don’t want him held legally accountable for any of that. But they know he did it all. And they are okay with it.

Of course they aren't. Nothing he did was illegal. That's the issue. 

hen he is convicted in the other three cases

But by convicting him in a bullshit case that was cobbled together just to "get" him, Democrats have undercut the legitimacy of those prosecutions. That's just common sense.  And by not prosecuting Hillary Clinton or Biden for mishandling classified documents while prosecuting Trump for the same crime, they'll just make that impression stronger.

Prosecuting a political opponent should be done for legitimate crimes where selective prosecution isn't an issue.

Under our system, you aren't supposed to get convicted of a crime because your are a  bad guy.

To hide the source of the payments, of course.  That's defrauding, intentionally.

Trump called Victor Orban from Hungary "the great leader of Turkey".  Trump needs a muzzle of some sort to keep him from saying all the ridiculous things he shouldn't.  He called McCain a loser and said he wasn't a hero.  He called the dead American war heroes buried in France losers and suckers and refused attend a ceremony at the cemetery where they are buried.  He didn't want wounded veterans to participate in a parade because "No one wants to see that."  Trump said the Continental Army took over the airports from the British during the Revolutionary War.  Trump testified in a deposition that a photo of E. Jean Carroll was his wife Marla Maples.  Want more?  Because there are hundreds of them.  Trump's dementia is severe and worsening rapidly.

“No, because here’s the deal. There’s a difference. I made it clear to Putin from the very beginning that — I’m not, we’re not engaging in,” Biden answered before trailing off briefly.

As with you, I will NOT vote for someone who is so utterly unfit to hold the office of the presidency.   Seems to me you liked his policies yet have stated you will not vote for him.   But you apparently do not think I am capable of making that same separation.
