Trump Assassination Threats Mounting on Social Media
Saturday, November 12, 2016 02:21 PM

By: Sandy Fitzgerald

President-elect Donald Trump is being threatened following Tuesday's election with calls through social media for his assassination, and the Secret Service will likely investigate all threats they deem to be credible ones, according to security sources.

Secret Service spokesperson Nicole Mainor declined comment on the growing number of posts, telling The New York Post that the agency "does not provide information regarding protective services," but a security source said the Secret Service will investigate threats.

Indirect threats are not generally prosecuted, the unnamed source said, as there is a difference between someone saying they will kill a president and someone who suggests that another person should commit the act.

The posts are mounting, and also include calls for Vice President-elect Mike Pence's death, and the use of an #AssassinateTrump hashtag has not been banned on Twitter, drawing outcry from many Trump supporters, reports The Gateway Pundit.

On the Saturday before Election Day, Trump was removed from the stage during an event in Reno, Nevada after someone shouted "gun" near the stage.

Austyn Crites, 33, a registered Republican, was taken into custody but no gun was found, and Crites was released, later telling The Reno-Gazette Journal that the incident has changed his life, as there will be some who feel he's a "sellout" while others will believe he had threatened Trump.

That would make Twitter a terrorist Org. at the corporate level.

Twitter is CRAP at responding to reports. It's a bullies/instigators paradise, since chances are you'll never get bothered, and, in the unlikely event your account is frozen or terminated you can have a second one up and running in about 3 minutes.

Who's going to report them and to whom?

When it comes to leftists, they get away with threats of assassination with no reprisal from anyone.

Happened with George W., and it will happen with Trump.

As far as I'm concerned, the left is filled with terrorists of all stripes.
Character still matters.  It always matters.

I wear a mask as an exercise in liberty and love for others.  To see it as an infringement of liberty is to entirely miss the point.  Be kind.

The history of the left is one of terrorism in one form or another.

Can I just say those people are idiots. You don't threaten a president or soon to be president. The Secret Service doesn't joke around.

The day after obama was elected. Here in Oklahoma, a white man was arrested by an Oklhoma Policeman(black) for having a handmade sign in his car window stating..." Abort Obama, Not Babies"

And yes the SS did an investigation I believe.

How can twitter get away with much more?

Serious answer: Because a blizzard of snowflakes will post bad things about Twitter and impact their profits if they stop it. With no one in law enforcement willing to upset the liberal chosen, you have your answer.

If someone did arrest more than one or two WHITE people, or if they arrested any Twitter staff, The Dept of justice would prosecute the cop for hate crimes and 1A violations.

Unbelievable.  First protests and now assassination threats illustrates the ignorance and the deterioration of our society. I find this very disheartening and disgusting.  Social media allows people to spew their hatred without repercussions.  The more I read of mass numbers of people protesting Trump's nomination, the more grateful I become that Hillary lost.

I know..do they think they are anonymous on twitter...they all need a knock on the door for even suggesting such a thing.

...hmm...perhaps 'it's' from the LGBT community. I sure as heck can't really tell what 'it' is.

They'd better take every one of these threats seriously.

Some Democrats and Leftists are such utter slime. From the race card to this.

Imagine if the right did that to Obama.

What you are witnessing in all this violence and protests is the spawn of things we used to make fun of what they were doing to kids 15-20 years ago.

Remember the stories about not giving homework to kids as it makes their bags too heavy? Or outcome based education? How about the stories of schools not posting grades as it might hurt the kids self esteems? In fact, we can't do anything that would hurt their self esteems was the theme back then. At the time, I told my wife that when these kids grow up, they are going to have difficulty adapting to the real world.

Today, these same kids are now young adults who demand safe spaces in Universities.From what? Opinions they don't want to hear. Now, an election happened that they don't like and they are now under the impression that a temper tantrum will change the results.

To many of us, and in fact the majority of the country, understand that there are winners and losers in elections. These people have never, ever been introduced to the concept of losing and that's the underlying cause of why the violent protests over losing an election

I have little interest in streamlining government or in making it more efficient, for I mean to reduce its size. I do not undertake to promote welfare, for I propose to extend freedom. My aim is not to pass laws, but to repeal them.

What's now seemingly funny in a dark sort of way is all the news reports you have read regarding the millennials  in the past have painted them as the most open minded, tolerant generation.

Sure. Open minded and tolerant as long as things go their way and you agree with them
