lol @ these idiots. Enjoy incoming unemployment, if they were employed to begin with. Some no doubt about to get friendly neighborhood FBI visits as well.
The creator of the page, Charlie Gillett, admits the “group has spun out of control” and told Metro Times he shut down the page to avoid repercussions at his job as a machine tool electrician in Sterling Heights if his identity is revealed in this story. (He’s listed publicly as the administrator and creator of the page on Facebook.)
One story from the conservative site Outraged Patriot falsely suggested Slotkin “admits her full allegiance to Qassam Soleimani,” the Iranian general who was killed in a U.S. airstrike.
Member Merek Smith suggested Slotkin “should be burned and raped.”
“Off with her head,” wrote Joe Hackett, whose main Facebook image is a handgun.
“She needs to be hung in the streets for treason,” Mike Repke responded.
Many of the threats are very specific. More than a dozen members, for example, called for violence against Tlaib at an event that she was expected to attend this weekend in Livonia. (She is not attending the event.)
“I hope someone is waiting for her a few hundred yards away with a scope ready to make that pink mist spray from her skull,” Michael Buschert posted on Wednesday.
Dan Hester responded, “we should hang out, i will train you……”
Robert Heidorf chimed in, “Dame like your thinking and many more in them cross hairs to.”
Members also raised the specter of violence at the Iraqi Consulate in Southfield, where Muslims where gathering this week to mourn Iraqi victims of a recent U.S. bombing of an Iranian general and others.
“This is the type of shit they should shoot up instead of churches lolol. Yeah I said it,” Coterie Chapel wrote.
Nellie Snookie Detwiler responded, “You say what many of us think but bit our tongues lol.”
Danny Stray chimed in, “Burn them and their mosques!”
Lonnie E. Root agreed: “Just kill them all.”
Fred Thornell went even further: “Fuck it blow them and Detroit up doesn’t bother me none if we loose them both.”
LGBTQ communities also are targets of hate.
“People that are gay have a mental sickness and should be treated,” Zach Eddy posted. Brian Schulz added, “Them lgbtqp queers have the highest suicide rate cuz they’re so confused. If we leave them alone they will follow their own demise.”
Members were furious about a news story about Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson considering adding a third gender option on driver’s licenses.
“I really don’t know how much more i can take of this bullshit,” Sarah Loach of Flint wrote. Bloodpressure rises every day. I am about to go postal.”
Muslims are the most common target of threats and calls for violence.
“Bomb Dearborn!” Chad Kenworthy posted on Friday. Bruce Botwright agreed: “Blow the fuck out of dearborn now.”
Under a video showing Muslims praying at a Six Flags theme park, group members expressed outrage.
“Umm BOOM, rebuild 6flags .…. simple,” wrote Rick A. Steele, whose Facebook profile says he’s the CEO and owner of Mill Creek Taxidermy in Redford.
Albert Viotti added, “So long Six Flags! A big bomb would be bad ass.”
