Georgia Man Tells NPR: If Clinton Wins, ‘Patriots Are Going To Overthrow The Government’


Jimmy Arno and his wife Dani live in Lawrenceville, Georgia, and both say they’re deeply concerned about the direction the United States has been taking in recent years. So Jimmy decided to talk to an NPR reporter and declare that should Hillary Clinton be elected President in November, a second civil war may be necessary:
“Should martial law, civil war — whatever — break out in this country, they will uphold the Constitution and rebuild our loss. The war that’s going to break out if Hillary Clinton’s elected, if that happens. Your patriots are going to overthrow the government.”

Dani said she’s still very upset about a Black Lives Matter protest that was held at the local high school recently. And Jimmy says he cannot for the life of him understand why black people get so upset when they see the Confederate flag being displayed. He also painted a grim picture of what life in the United States is like, in his own twisted opinion:

“If you go to a movie theater, you’re liable to get shot, you go to a mall, you’re liable to get shot. If you go to Atlanta or a major city, you’re liable to be shot or attacked.”

It can even be unlearned, but that is more difficult because the individual must want to Change.

.... their interviews have highlighted racists and lunatics. They conduct the interviews "without judgment" ....but the interviews create (an accurate) picture of the SFV's supporters as hate filled bigots and/or irredeemably stupid.

Patriot! As if this dullard knows what the word even means.

As one who has been to Lawrenceville on many occasions, i'd bet the murder rate is all that different than Atlanta. No, i didn't look it up, but as someone from a small city, there were two different years after we moved there, where our murder rate was higher than any major city. All it takes is a double homicide.

And, the patriots weren't fighting over which person was ELECTED into office. They were fighting over the fact that they didn't even get to vote for ANYONE who was in charge of government.

What an idiot.

Don't let assholes like this assume the high ground and wrap their hatred and fear in "patriotism." The more this kind of shit is indulged, the more these idiots delude themselves into thinking like this.

Hint to Mr. & Mrs. Arno: The FBI keeps track of that stuff. They really do. They're adding your name to the right-wing wacko watch list right this minute, since you voiced your insurrectionist plans on the air.

they vote for sociopaths who keep them free from access to mental health services, inadequately fund education and infrastructure, and enrich the corporations with juicy tax breaks and laws that allow them to underpay and oppress workers.

Then when their lives are pure shit, these morons blame Obama, or the "gubbmint." Your Georgia government has created all of the problems in your life, and you elected those people.

But keep blaming people who have nothing to do with it, and keep threatening the rest of us with your violent, psychopathic delusions of traitorous grandeur, Jimmy and Dani. Keep telling us how you're going to go postal. You'll be the first ones the cops shoot dead, and I hesitate to say it, but no loss to the world will occur when you're not a threat anymore.

You're too clueless to breed, you two, but I bet you did anyway.

and I am quite certain the only southern, war machines we will face is SEC football. When it comes down to it, we just have too much going on no matter what your political beliefs to have a civil war. He probably only says that now because Alabama is still better than Georgia in football, and nobody's starting any shit here since it's almost time for NCAA basketball!

We only had to kill a quarter of a million rednecks to put them away for 150 years. That was before the United States had a two-million strong professional armed forces, and before they spent the past fifteen years hunting down and eradicating armed redneck bands worldwide. The United States is as well-prepared to completely destroy such an uprising as it ever has been.
