    “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.

    Imagine having so much to lose for your opinions, that you hope the people that you’ve oppressed carry out your sick fantasies.

    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."

    I feel like America is encouraging the wrong attitudes. When it arrests peaceful protestors on Gaza, but won’t touch the guys threatening to shoot up “leftys.”

      Because the guys threatening to shoot up “leftys” are the same ones who would be doing the arresting.

      You can’t arrest yourself.

      The Gaza Protests were only peaceful from the pro-palestine side. It was an orgy of violence from the Israeli side.

      I suspect we’ll see this pattern repeat itself, as cops stand shoulder to shoulder with fascists and their sympathizers, in stocastic terrorist campaigns.
