Assassination threats against Trump flood Twitter
New York Post ^ | 11/11/2016 | Joshua Rhett Miller

The shock and anger over Donald Trump’s ascension to the White House has triggered a flood of calls on Twitter and other social media outlets for the president-elect to be assassinated — and authorities will investigate all threats deemed to be credible, The Post has learned.

Trump met Thursday with President Obama in the Oval Office, with the Republican businessmancalling the hour-plus session a “great honor.” Obama said they had an “excellent” and “wide-ranging” conversation, while urging all people to “now come together.”

But that message of inclusion was apparently lost in social media circles, particularly Twitter, where a simple search can reveal dozens and dozens of calls to gun down the next leader of the free world. Some posts called for both Trump and Vice President-elect Mike Pence to be assassinated, and there’s even an #AssassinateTrump hashtag.

If the Republican had acted like this when Obama got into office that National Guard would have been called out in a second. I wish the police would step up take care of the problem and throw these 'protesters' into prison.

The Secret Service needs to be visiting these people and throwing them in prison, quickly.

Gonna need an entire new wing adjacent to the Clinton wing in the prison. Maybe several. I’m good with that.

Each and every one of these needs to be investigated, charged, given opportunity to plead and get probation, else prosecuted, convicted, and jailed. It is time for zero-tolerance on threats like these.

Yes, and I bet morale in the Secret Service is almost back to pre-Obama levels.

Sheriff Joe is available to set up a massive tent city in Kansas.

Leavenworth is wonderful! Scenic and snowy in winter, hot and humid for growing wheat in summer. They will all be fine there.

No, they don’t shut down Trump assassination tweets. But post an unflattering Hillary meme and watch how quickly it gets removed.

The anarchist tools are relentless. They’re directed and urged on by their Communist masters such as Soros, MoveOn.org, BLM, and the Leftist media. It’s an eternal battle of good versus evil, one as old as time.

They don't want to offend their core constituency, the dumbass millennials who go around with their heads face-planted into their cell phones.

For weeks, all we heard was talk of the dangers of Trump and his supporters not accepting the results of the election, and now that the reality is the opposite, the media will have to go into hyper spin mode to control perceptions.

Man, I went to Officer Basic in Kansas in July. Talk about cruel and unusual. 1979, IIRC. Record highs. With humidity. Brutal.

These threats will never end unless the new administration makes it a point to come down hard and fast on everyone who posts that garbage.
