Did a Trump bodyguard once call an attorney and say "If You Keep Fucking With Mr. Trump We Know Where You Live?" Probably.

When Donald Trump’s casino business went bankrupt in 2009, a lawyer whose clients stood to lose more than a billion dollars told police and the FBI that he got a menacing phone call from a man with a thick New York accent who threatened his family. 

“My name is Carmine. I don’t know why you’re fucking with Mr. Trump but if you keep fucking with Mr. Trump, we know where you live and we’re going to your house for your wife and kids,” the caller said, according to the account that the attorney, Kristopher Hansen, gave to the Holmdel police department in New Jersey. Hansen speculated that the caller was Trump’s bodyguard. 

According to FBI case notes, the phone call to Hansen was made at 2:05 p.m. on Feb. 18, 2009, from a New York City telephone booth located across the street from the Ed Sullivan Theater, where Trump was a guest that day on The Late Show With David Letterman. Three former employees of the show told BuzzFeed News that guests were asked to arrive in advance of the 4:30 taping, though accounts differ on just how far in advance.

The incident, which has never before been made public, came at a time when Trump’s signature mix of celebrity glamor and ruthless business tactics was on stark display. The implosion of his flagship casino company, Trump Entertainment Resorts, left many investors and contractors empty-handed. But Trump walked away from the wreckage, gilding his public image and largely denying responsibility. “I wasn’t involved at all in management,” Trump told Letterman. Trump had been chairman of the board until five days earlier, and his daughter Ivanka had also been on the board.

After receiving the phone call Mr. Hansen was so shaken that he notified both the police and the FBI.

Of course there is no definitive proof that the phone call was delivered by a Trump bodyguard, or associate.

But I think we all suspect that is most likely the case.

Remember that incident with the Rolling Stones promoter back in 1989? 

“One of two things is going to happen,” Cohl told Trump. “You’re going to leave the building and, at 6:40, The Rolling Stones are going to speak on CBS News, or you’re not going to leave the building and I’m going to go on and do an interview to explain to the world why the pay-per-view was canceled” 

Then, while literally telling Donald Trump “You’re fired,” Cohl noticed Trump’s “three shtarkers he’s with, in trench coats, two of them are putting on gloves and the other one is putting on brass knuckles.” 

Cohl signaled his head of security, who “got 40 of the crew with tire irons and hockey sticks and screwdrivers,” effectively sending off Trump and his goons.

As you see, there's a pattern.

Now do you understand by Trump feels such an affinity for thugs like Vladimir Putin and Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte?

In response to belligerent and aggressive open carry advocates Texas House of Representatives installing panic buttons.

In the wake of increasingly large and frequent protests by the open carry movement, the Texas House of Representatives approved rules that would allow for the installation of panic buttons and give representatives the power to have “hostile” citizens summarily ejected from their offices, The Houston Chronicle reports. 

The day before these rules were passed, members of Open Carry Tarrant County spent time visiting the offices of lawmakers who opposed House Bill 195, which would overturn the state’s 125-year-long ban on openly carrying handguns. 

Two Democratic representatives — Poncho Nevarez and Celia Israel — claimed that members of Open Carry Tarrant County harassed them. A Facebook post by group member Kory Watkins bears out Nevarez’s claim:

Post by Kory Watkins.

Did you hear all of that? 

I swear the guy behind the camera phone, this Kory Watkins character, sounds like he is just looking for a reason to shoot somebody.

These idiots are proving everyday why it is important to have stricter gun control laws in this country.

Former Marine who was harassed by Open Carry activists forced to change his phone number after it is revealed in video posted on YouTube.

I am sure that most of you remember the video of Marine veteran James Henry being followed back to his car by Open Carry demonstrators after he started filming them.

Well this is what happened afterward:

After the confrontation, the activist posted a video to YouTube of Henry returning to his SUV, which had his company name and phone number printed on the side. Soon after that, he started receiving harassing phone calls. 

“One said you’re going to wish you had a gun boy when I fill you with holes,” he said. 

Open Carry Tarrant County spokesperson Kory Watkins, however, insisted to KDFW that the group had filmed Henry for their own protection. He said that women and children were participating in the firearms rally, and the group felt threatened. 

But in the end, it was Henry who was forced to change his phone number. He has also started carrying his pistol for protection.

Gee, you know these Open Carry guys might actually succeed in their goal of increasing the number of Americans who are carrying weapons around in public.  Of course the reason will be to protect ourselves from lunatics like them.

I am surprised that nobody has been shot yet, but I think it is only a matter of time before there is an exchange of gunfire. And when that happens this will move from simply being an annoyance, to a serious public safety concern.

Rand Paul cannot bring himself to condemn head stomping by one of his supporters.

Look you little weasel this is not exactly brain surgery.

Here let me help you, this is what you need to say:

"If you are one of my supporters DON'T FUCKING STOMP ON ANYBODY'S HEAD!"

There now was THAT so hard?

What kind of pansy ass cannot even stand up to his own people and demand that they not injure people on his behalf? 

And color me surprised, I did not even know that Joe Miller was renting his "Drop Zone" goon squad to Rand Paul.
