Weeks before the murderous mob of insurrectionists stormed the United States Capitol on January 6 to prevent Congress from certifying Joe Biden’s victory, a leader of the so-called Stop the Steal movement stood before a crowd of angry Donald Trump loyalists in California and called for the “execution” of those who had supposedly plotted against Trump. Afterward, he posted video of his demand for blood on YouTube.

On December 12, Trump supporters, ahead of the official counting of electoral votes, staged protests across the country, with the main demonstration in Washington leading to violence, as the Proud Boys rampaged through the district and clashed with Antifa activists. A smaller gathering occurred in Huntington Beach, California. One hundred or so Trump devotees, some waving Trump and “Fuck Biden” flags, assembled at the town’s picturesque pier. The man leading that protest was Alan Hostetter, a police-chief-turned-yoga-instructor who last year became a prominent opponent of COVID shutdowns in the Golden State.
“There must be long prison terms, while execution is the just punishment for the ringleaders of this coup.”

Hostetter, who heads a group called the American Phoenix Project, praised the Trumpers, “as America from the ground-up fights back agains this communist takeover of our country.” Reading from a prepared text, he declared, “Both foreign and domestic enemies and traitors surround us. They are protected and enabled by a corrupt and evil…mainstream media. And this mainstream media joined forces with an even more corrupt group of tech tyrants in the Silicon Valley.”.....................


Hotsetter had a very specific idea of justice: “The enemies and traitors of America, both foreign and domestic, must be held accountable. And they will. There must be long prison terms, while execution is the just punishment for the ringleaders of this coup.” A woman at the front of the crowd yelled, “Gitmo!” Standing next to Hotsetter, thoughout this violent rant, was former GOP congressman Dana Rohrabacher, who long represented the area before losing his seat in 2018. (When Rohrabacher spoke, he vowed that the assembled would not allow “communists to take control of our government” through election fraud.)..........................

2. There have been many, many posters here who cry out

to see everyone of the insurrectionists as well as Trump et al consigned to Gitmo.

Let me be clear, those who support our democracy with clear hearts and clear heads do want investigations, fair and open trials and appropriate punishment upon conviction.

Gitmo, i.e. the Guantanamo Bay detention camp has a problematic reputation at best.

Democratic officials in our government have a clear mandate from the voting public to act decisively on many issues facing our country and I hope they will do so. This action must include a measured, thorough judicial response to those involved--directly and indirectly--with the events of January 6, 2021.

Detaining people at Gitmo and subjecting them to poorly overseen and possibly illegal and abusive treatment is not what I wish to see done in my name as an American citizen.
