Ted Cruz crowd loves blogger’s jokes about opening fire on cars with California plates

Aside from the creepy psychopathic overtones, I have to laugh at the idea of the world's fifth largest economy migrating to fucking Texas. Hey Whittle, I think California is actually managing OK with their socialist nanny state.


A conservative blogger drew big laughs at a rally for Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) when he suggested that Texans open fire on cars bearing California license plates.

...

Whittle told the crowd at Saturday’s “Freedom Rally,” sponsored by Texans for Freedom and Liberty, that the issue he wanted to discuss should involve the state Highway Patrol, the National Guard and private citizens.

“You will see a lot of cars coming west heading east on Interstate 10, and they’re going to have California license plates on them,” Whittle said, as the crowd begins to laugh. “Now, if you see these cars pull into rest areas or hotels or restaurants, that’s fine; wave goodbye, make sure they go out on the Louisiana end.”

“But if you see them pull off into residential areas, you need to open fire on these vehicles immediately,” Whittle said, as the crowd laughs appreciatively and applauds loudly. “Immediately. Not with 9mm or AR rounds; you need to put mortars on those things, you cannot take any chances.”

After the crowd quiets down, Whittle reminds them that he is from Los Angeles and says that Californians are trying desperately to move to Texas to enjoy its “awesome job opportunities, the incredible economy and the conservative government.”

My husband and his family, lots and lots of friends and family...not one of them wants to move to TX. Not even as a joke.

For the record, many of those CA friends and family would shoot back...and not miss.

I don't comprehend why they think jokes about killing people for no reason are remotely funny.

6. Wasn't Governor Good Hair trolling around California trying to lure businesses to TX?

So maybe these militants need to take it up with their beloved governor if CA cars start turning into residential areas.

What is wrong with people anymore? Just shoot and/or kill anyone you don't like

There's no connection that would ever be likely to hold up in a court, but this kind of violent talk raises the probability of the few truly violent nuts actually becoming violent.

9. At least, it's not this kind of violent talk that will 'attract' them more moderates...

Nope. They'll 'violent talk' their future into complete oblivion.
