Right after Milo Yafuckface opines that reporters oughta get killed, this shit happens

I don’t think that we’re dealing with creeping authoritarian under Trump, it’s more like full blown third world sprinting despotic authoritarianism.

How soon until we get the “death squads?”

Anybody?

Like the pizza-gate guy. Of course, if he's a white guy with a MAGA hat he won't be called a terrorist.

I think that there are groups and individuals that believe they have license to kill. I also think that it's possible that "private security firms" may soon be employed by the administration to with organized, non-violent opposition, if Trump remains in office.

http://thehill.com/homenews/media/394715-milo-yiannopoulos-my-call-for-shooting-journalists-was-just-a-troll?amp&__twitter_impression=true Conservative provocateur Milo Yiannopoulos on Thursday insisted on Thursday that he "wasn't being serious" when he recently told two reporters that he "can't wait for the vigilante squads to start gunning journalists."

Yiannopoulos's comments Thursday came shortly after a gunman opened fire in the Capital Gazette newsroom in Annapolis, Md., leaving at least five people dead and several others seriously injured. Authorities have taken a suspect into custody, but have not yet released an identity or a motive.

"You're about to see a raft of news stories claiming that I am responsible for inspiring the deaths of journalists," Yiannopoulos wrote in a Facebook post. "The truth, as always, is the opposite of what the media tells you."

"I sent a troll about 'vigilante death squads' as a *private* response to a few hostile journalists who were asking me for comment, basically as a way of saying, 'F---k off.' They then published it," he continued.

For "demonizing" about Dear Leader. They are sickening.
