I came across this is little story today, it's not breaking news.  I suspect that a member of the housekeeping staff knows something about the bomb threat that required the sweep for weapons.

According to police in Secaucus, the bomb threat — which later was determined to be bogus — was called in to Hudson Regional Hospital on July 18. During a search, bomb detection dogs led investigators to an unlocked office closet containing dozens of firearms.

Among the weapons were 11 handguns and 27 rifles or shotguns, according to police. The closet also contained a .45 caliber semi-automatic rifle with a high-capacity magazine that was determined to be an assault rifle, and a 14-round high-capacity handgun magazine.

The arrested the guy the next day. 

What the heck do you think this guy was doing? It sounds very ominous that he was keeping those weapons there.

Well. I tried to drive but my car was set on fire because of Justice or something?

Okay. You acknowledge he said "protest" correct? 

It was "protest" but I guess if there is violence they'll call him out for not saying "peaceful and patriotically..."  Wait.....

This sounds silly

Let's face it: the ammosexuals in trump's base will take any available opportunity to whip out their big guns and heroically wave them around, secure in the knowledge that trump will leap to their defense (and pay their legal fees, too).

Ammosexuals... ??? (I've never seen or heard this before)

It refers to that subset of gun enthusiasts that confuse second amendment advocacy with testosterone poisoning (check out testosterone side effects).

You must follow him on Truth social. 

Again, PROTEST PROTEST PROTEST. NOT RIOT. Very different. Or "when you see them, you make a crowd, you get into their faces......"

You want to accuse the many dems that called for protest? Or unrest? Start with Maxine Waters

No I do not think violence of any type is okay. Do you? 

Do you condem the violence of the 2020 riots? Or nah? You had a hard time condemning the recent anti-police violence in Georga so I highly doubt it.  

How about attacks on Pregnacy centre's and threats against Supreme Court justices? Take virtue issue with that?  I condem all violence. Including violence against Planned Parenthood because I already know your come back. 

Sorry. Perhaps you woukd like it to be only given to certain people? The constitution applied to some, but not all?  The right to free speech and the right to protest? Or only that falls under your chosen ideology? 

Trump, his supporters, and everyone has the right to both. Even if you don't like them. How totalitarian of you. 

None of Trumps comments incite violence and all fall under freedom of speech. So why don't you set out and change the constitution to suite your ideology? Don't take your guns, it may be called an insurrection or domestic terrorism if you do. 

Trump has the right to say whatever he wants under the 1st amendment. Even if it causes you emotional upset and gets your feelings bent.

You're new here so you don't know that everyone condemned that violence while also noting that a good bit of the peripheral violence was not BLM or Antifa but was instead right wing accelerationists. I don't recall having a discussion about the anti-police violence in Georgia.

Do you want to compare violence directed at planned parenthood clinics and abortion centers to violence at those right to life pregnant centers?  Let's have that discussion.  

No individual's freedom to speech has been harmed or threatened. The DOJ and a good number of legal experts disagree with your assessment that Trump's speech didn't incite the violent mob on January 6th. Even McConnell and McCarthy and Lindsay Graham said that Trump was responsible for the events of January 6th, so you are in disagreement with them as well as a number of other prominent republican leaders. 

Surely you are aware that our first amendment freedom of speech does have some limitations and legal boundaries. You aren't naive enough to believe that people can simply say whatever they want without any consequences or limitations are you? Fraud, defamation, and threats are not legal speech... neither is incitement. Laws apply to everyone, right?  The laws  apply to political leaders and the wealthy even if it makes their followers feel a certain way or gets their feelings bent.

You're talking to a person who thinks it's fine for a 9 year white girl to be beaten up black a black teen because of past injustices.

Still trying to misrepresent that discussion?  Persistent dishonesty is your trademark here, eh? Or maybe you just didn't understand the discussion...
