Stochastic terrorism is a form of political violence instigated by hostile public rhetoric directed at a group or an individual.
“Is there anybody here who’s going to vote for lyin’ Kamala?” Trump asked his rally attendees. “Actually, I should say don’t raise your hand, it would be very dangerous. We don’t want to see anybody get hurt. Please don’t raise your hand.”
Trump is fully aware that his supporters will engage in political violence, and that what he says (or refuses to say) has an impact on said violence. DoJ, take note for when he encourages another mob to engage in violence on his behalf and then acts like he wasn’t doing exactly that.
Edit: In case I wasn’t perfectly clear, this statement by Trump is admissible evidence that Trump knows that his speech is capable of encouraging violence, even something as otherwise harmless as “Is there anybody here who’s going to vote for lyin’ Kamala?”
I’ll be at my local polling place with my concealed Colt .45, with my AR in the truck.
Let the red hats fuck around.
Libs: Time to stop pointing fingers and clutching pearls. Be there! It will be wild!
(I’m no badass, but I’m experienced, know the local laws and can shoot quite well enough. And I will be scared shitless, but I’ll have some up-close conversations with anyone seeming to intimidate voters.)
Where’s our law enforcement in all this?

Oh, Merrick is busy trying to get Trump re-elected for his Federalist society masters, you know… for tax cuts.
Liberals: ACAB!
I know. Been there, done that. And I’m a white boy.
Liberals: Fascists are taking over, right in our face!
I’m well aware. Sometimes morals override personal safety. That is what it means to love your country.
Liberals: Give up your guns and call the police!
A convict should watch his language regarding a former prosecutor. He hasn’t been sentenced yet.
