Having already
threatened to riot if Obama is unsuccessful in securing a second term, Obama
supporters are also flooding Twitter with threats to assassinate Mitt Romney if
he wins the presidential election.
Earlier reports
said that innumerable Obama supporters spoke of their plans to provoke violence
and mayhem if Obama lost, aggrieved at fears that Mitt Romney would take away
government handouts.
However, it
seems that threats to assassinate Romney are proving just as popular on the
social network as threats to riot.
Twitchy first
reported on the death threats on Sunday but a deluge of new ones have flooded in
since, including the following:
"I swear if Mitt Romney
becomes president, I'm gonna be the one to assassinate his a**!!!"
"im telling you if romney
gets elected somebody gon have to take a L and A. assassinate romney and ryan or
B. obliterate the WH w/ them in it."
"If Romney becomes
president, hella people gonna try to assassinate him."
"Soo Romney said black
folks are free loaders n basically tryna get us back to slavery ... I will
personally Assassinate dat mf."
"If Romney Get Elected Somebody Gotta Assassinate Him" Me Duh Nigha??"
It is important
again to stress that these are not newly created fake accounts, they are owned
by people who have made thousands of previous tweets.
While some
Twitter users later backed away from their threats, others seemed genuinely
serious. Prison Planet
There have been
other threats against Romney during the past weeks. On Sunday, Twitchy reported
that liberals on Twitter continued to issue death threats against GOP
presidential candidate Mitt Romney. Examiner.com Death threats
like these violate federal law and Twitter's rules. Twitter, unfortunately, does
not appear too concerned with death threats made against the GOP nominee, but
the Secret Service tends to take threats like these a little more seriously.
Examiner.com According to
federal law, those making threats against a presidential candidate can face
fines and five years in prison. Examiner.com Given the fact
that Americans routinely riot in response to results of sporting events that
don't go their way, the notion that civil unrest could ensue if Obama is
defeated is perfectly plausible. infowars.com
