A Virginia man was charged with making violent online threats against U.S. Vice-President Kamala Harris days after she began her U.S. presidential campaign.

Frank Carillo was charged on Friday in federal court in Virginia with threatening the vice-president after posting a series of messages targeting Harris on the social media site GETTR, according to court records.

“Kamala Harris needs to be put on fire alive I will do it personally if no one else does," read one post cited in court documents. Another said Harris is "going to regret ever trying to become president."

The messages were posted on July 27, six days after President Joe Biden announced he would not run for re-election and endorsed Harris to take his place as the Democratic candidate.

This is the most fucked up thing they have ever come out and admitted.

And I'll never stop posting it.

I like this one too. The party that believes in only one religion, one that forbids worshiping false idols, worshipping a "golden calf".

Its this super overt shit that almost make me wonder if there IS a God, like how else can these people be SO on the nose if not divine prophecy 🤣

[–] octopus_ink@lemmy.ml 7 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Seriously. Some of it is almost like they have bent over backwards to provide the most unlikely, obvious bullshit for us to point it.

Remember the golden Obama statues? (me neither)

How about the golden Obama dildo?

Thou shalt have no dildoes before me is NOT a quote from the lord, I'm pretty sure. ;)

Can win? Do that and then violence

[–] SidewaysHighways@lemmy.world 12 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

Not even competing in something that can be won? Violence

[–] littlecolt@lemm.ee 8 points 3 months ago

Being the only competitor in a race and winning by default? Believe it or not, right to violence. Right away.
