Trump: Shoot Refugees who Throw Rocks!

[_Kevin Graham]

Trump, suggesting that U.S. troops dispatched to the border could shoot migrants who throw rocks: “We will consider that a firearm, because there's not much difference when you get hit in the face with a rock." Keep in mind that soldiers in Iraq weren't allowed to do this IN A COMBAT ZONE.

Speaking of rhetoric, I just got this spam email in my inbox:

America’s Southern Border is under attack! The so called "Caravan of Refugees" continues their march towards America.

The caravan that is being used by criminals and terrorists blending in with all the others. MS-13, ISIS. Nobody knows who is in the caravan and the Democrats don’t care. The Democrats want to welcome them with open arms, house them, feed them, care for them with YOUR TAX DOLLARS. The same Democrats that won’t take care of American Veterans, American Schools, or America’s Greatest Generation.

President Trump is protecting America and our borders. He has sent troops to the Border to stop the invasion! This is a strong show of strength that makes American Patriots Proud.

American Patriots need to Stand with our President. The media continues to criticize the President for his strong leadership. For Protecting America.

We must get the real news out. We must let the American Public know the truth about our President.

American Patriots Stand With President. I Stand With President. Will YOU Stand With President?

DONATE NOW so we can tell the world Patriots Stand With President.

DONATE NOW»
For America,
Suzzanne Monk
Chairman
Stand With President PAC

What's crazy to me is I'm not subscribed to any Conservative newsletters, blogs, or anything that could generate this kind of email. What the hell? What the heck is "Stand With President PAC"?

So, of course I google Stand with President PAC and I get this hit from opensecrets:

https://www.opensecrets.org/pacs/lookup ... cycle=2018

This committee is a so-called Carey committee, a hybrid PAC/super PAC.

What the heck is a "Carey committee"?

Carey Committee: A Carey committee is a hybrid political action committee that is not affiliated with a candidate and has the ability to operate both as a traditional PAC, contributing funds to a candidate's committee, and as a super PAC, which makes independent expenditures. To do so, Carey committees must have a separate bank account for each purpose. The committee can collect unlimited contributions from almost any source for its independent expenditure account, but may not use those funds for its traditional PAC contributions.

According to opensecrets Stand with President PAC has only raised ~$5700. Can they really spam email accounts for only $5700??

Dude, you can spam email 50,000 addresses for less than $400.00 and that size email list can easily cost as little as $1500, but the same price can get you as many as 1 million opt-in email addresses.....so yeah, they can.

It is all over national news, but if you have your head buried in FOX and Breitbart then I can see why you wouldn't know about it. On the other hand, I'm shocked that you would miss a presser from your Lord and Savior.

Here is the only Right Wing outlet I could find that had the balls to even report on it.

"Anybody throwing stones, rocks — like they did to Mexico and the Mexican military, Mexican police, where they badly hurt police and soldiers of Mexico — we will consider that a firearm because there's not much difference," Trump told reporters during a press conference at the White House Thursday evening.

"Because there's not much difference when you get hit in the face with a rock," Trump said.

Gee, so what he's saying is there is really no reason for anyone to buy guns since rocks are free. Just keep a pile next to your bed in order to fend off intruders. Funny how guns are awesome and the only way to defend yourself when they need to be, and then they're just like rocks when they need to be. Depending on which political button you're trying to push.

Thanks for the citation : The left wing media has been letting Trump live rent-free in their heads for so long, clearly balls are not required.

No, what he is saying is what is exactly what you quoted...what you "think" he is saying is that other absurdity about rock ownership you write in order to "spin" his words for some desperate political position. But good to know that if someone is assaulting you with rocks you believe you do not have a right to use a firearm to defend your life...kinda makes your rebel uprising unfavored in the over/under for successful revolution.

Can't help but wonder why they don't seek asylum in any of the other countries they have been allowed to peacefully walk through? I mean these are the same countries that so many people believe are NAFTA worthy, correct?

This is what peaceful asylum seekers look like that just want to come to America and mow Kevin's lawn.

And remember, many of the rocks they are throwing are covered with smallpox and leprosy.

Gee, I wonder why you are unable to provide any photos of rock throwing migrants along the US border? I mean, it isn't for a lack of photos to choose from. The US has had far more immigrants cross its border illegally than all the central American countries combined over the past 40 years.

The fact is the caravan of 7,000 is dispersing every day and has already dwindled to fewer than 4,000 before they even made 10% of the journey. Based on historical analyses with traveling caravans military officials estimate that only a fifth are actually determined enough to make it to the US border. Meaning we're likely to see only around 1,400 who are desperate enough to make the trek. And Trump is talking about sending as many as 15,000 armed troops because it appeals to hair-fire morons like you.

ETA: Worth noting there is no context behind these photos. Reuters only says it was a "clash" with Guatemalan police but that's all. Thousands of migrants and only 2-3 photos of someone throwing rocks? That's it?? Were they shot by rubber bullets and were responding with a rock because, as our idiot Prez said, there're not much difference?
