Indiana Official On Wisconsin Protestors: ‘Use Live Ammunition’

Jeffrey Cox is a deputy attorney general for the state of Indiana, and he has some strong views about the protests in Wisconsin. In response to a Mother Jones tweeted back: “Use live ammunition”:[br />



Cox remained steadfast in his position that the protestors should be killed when confronted on Twitter by Mother Jones’ Adam Weinstein, writing that “against thugs physically threatening legally-elected state legislators & governor? You’re damn right I advocate deadly force.” (There have been no reports that the protestors have physically threatened any elected officials).

Mother Jones contacted the Office of the Indiana Attorney General, and a spokesman told the magazine that Cox’s statements were “inflammatory” and that there would be “an immediate review” Cox’s online statements. “We do not condone any comments that would threaten or imply violence or intimidation toward anyone,” he added.

8. Free Republic website have been calling for armed counterprotests

Is this what it is coming down to?

Meanwhile, the Atlanta Journal Constitution’s Jay Bookman reports that right-wingers posting on the Free Republic website have been calling for armed counterprotests in Atlanta today. In response to a pro-labor SEIU rally, one Free Republic user anounces that counterprotesters carrying arms will attend “with the usual accoutrements.” Reviewing the comments section, Bookman writes, “A couple of posters advised against bringing firearms to the rally, but that point of view did not seem to carry the day.”

14. Unfortunately

Throughout American history it seems that there has to be bloodshed before real action is taken.

15. Yeah it seems that is how change really comes about

We do a lot of talk about initiatives and ballot box measures but real change comes from the street up and it is usually bloody. And seeing how so many liberals have been afraid to use the word fascist over the years now we are really going to have to deal with it.
