is trying to lay the blame on Rev. Al Sharpton for promoting an atmosphere of lawlessness. The nut-job actually believes that a 25-30 year old white guy in Canada pays attention to Rev. Al.

There are numerous RWNJ groups who openly advocate killing LEOs. Warnings that continuing on that path will bring about their fabled Revolution, Restoration, Martial Law /Police State fail to discourage this meme.

Because they are keyboard fascists providing support to the brownshirts who are not fooling around. They want to overthrow and nullify all agencies created by democratic processes of government.

They swarmed the capitol of WA state because the voters did not agree with their ubergun law. They threaten both public and private citizens, stalk, harrass and kill those who oppose them.

That's not what is going on in Canada, but the RWNJ clearly wants to deflect attention away from what he's really supporting.
