PBSO said a driver in an SUV breached two security points outside President Donald Trumps Mar-a-Lago, and law enforcement officers fired their weapons at the vehicle.
It's just a matter of time IMO before someone decides they have had enough.

(102,509 posts)even for that fraction of a moment, I'd encourage all to remember that the ultimate "wet-dream" for the RW is to have a "martyr" of their own to use much like a cudgel against us--and to lionize for the next three decades. For all his faults, they believe that that is what JFK's loss did for Democrats. That's why they constantly try to appropriate him in a ludicrous attempt to claim he'd be a Republican today. Ditto for MLK.
SO, I dearly hope if there are loonies who might go after Trump and his ilk, that the SS DOES promptly and completely identify and block them.

I'll go down fighting, thank you.
NOBODY on OUR side wants violence. But sometimes the tree of liberty must be watered or it will die. We may be facing that line in the sand that THEY have drawn...
So be it.

I see too many concerned responses that, essentially, say violence is off the table. It is not.
I believe THEY will start it. But once it starts, we better be prepared to fight. Because they would take delight in WIPING US OUT!

(11,760 posts)If you want to start a thread about an "upcoming civil war" then that is valid.
The OP reported someone potentially trying to commit and act of violence against the president. I admit that I would not be saddened in the least if say Trump fell in the bathroom impaling himself on a toilet plunger in a humiliating way and that was his natural demise.
You are talking about choosing a side during a civil war. The OP is about a person seeking to do violence and create a martyr where only a disgusting now exists.
We cannot be like conservatives and exist in a binary choice world. There is nuance and complexity in this situation.

(6,254 posts)A mother and daughter reportedly drove a Jeep past several concrete barriers at security checkpoints near President Donald Trumps Mar-a-Lago club before making it across the bridge to West Palm Beach, a law-enforcement official familiar with the incident told The Palm Beach Post.
Law enforcement opened fire on the the Jeep within the secured zone at Mar-a-Lago. Still, the vehicle made it over the Southern Boulevard Bridge to a hotel in West Palm Beach, the law-enforcement official said.
The Jeep weaved past several concrete barriers at two security checkpoints before following the curving road in front of Mar-a-Lago to the bridge.
A black Jeep was seen behind yellow crime-scene tape in the parking lot of the Studio 6 West Palm Beach hotel, just north of Palm Beach International Airport.
