The Former Guy threatens Death and Destruction if indicted

  The Former Guy is upping his threats, upping his call for violence - specifically, he is calling for "death and destruction".  I don't think we need to be hesitant to say that this man is a violent fascist anymore.  There is no nuance here.  He called for the violent overthrow of the duly elected government, and now he is calling for "death and destruction" of law enforcement and the New York DA.  


"What kind of person can charge another person, in this case a former President of the United States, who got more votes than any sitting President in history, and leading candidate (by far!) for the Republican Party nomination, with a Crime, when it is known by all that NO Crime has been committed, & also known that potential death & destruction in such a false charge could be catastrophic for our Country? “Why & who would do such a thing? Only a degenerate psychopath that truely (sic) hates the USA!” Trump wrote. 

And he included a photo of himself holding a bat ready to strike DA Alvin Bragg.

I hope this is just a cornered maniac trying to get others to risk their freedom and their lives to save his corrupt skin.  I hope his cult sees the prison terms of those who answered his call to violence January 6, 2021 and tried to violently assault Congress and overthrow the election.  

To paraphrase a Vietnam protest slogan - What if they threw a revolution and nobody came?

By the way, this tweet in and of itself is a felony.  Legal expert Norm Eisen tweets:


Threatening a prosecutor is a crime in NY. In fact MULTIPLE crimes: Harassment in the first degree NYPL 240.25; menacing in the second degree NYPL 120.14; stalking in the fourth or third degree NYPL 120.45 & 120.50 And that’s just for starters….
