[Video: Crazed Leftist Wants Alex Jones Killed For “Brainwashing” People](https://www.infowars.com/video-crazed-leftist-wants-alex-jones-killed-for-brainwashing-people/)

The argument drifts into free speech, the lady’s son, etc.

It’s frightening how cool and calm she as while she casually speaks of wanting Jones executed for speech she disagrees with.

Question: What percentage of American leftists would you say share this woman’s sentiment?

I’d like to say that she an outlier, an on-the-fringe kook, but I’ve seen so many death threats to President Trump, that this sort of behavior feels like it’s been normalized in liberal communities.

Scary times, indeed.

Well, that is a point, gotta grant that. Obama never got _any_, even though lots of tighty righty sphinctoids didn’t much like him. Good catch, **GeeDubya**

Wait a minute, your sole cite for this is _Infowars_? That is, Alex Jones’ site?

What percentage of “American leftists” (whatever that is), or hell, anyone at all, give a rat’s ass what Alex Jones has to say about anything? I certainly don’t.

She’s just performance-arting.  
As is the OP, though less artfully.

Keep racking em up, Alex. I’m sure by someday you might accumulate as many threats as the Sandy Hook Elementary crisis actors have.

Man, [it’s terrible when people threaten other people with violence just for having opposing views](http://www.newsweek.com/alex-jones-threat-congressman-may-be-felony-579730).

So…no soup for him?

(Which reminds me, since **TB** asked: I thoroughly recommend [this tomato soup recipe](http://www.waitrose.com/home/recipes/recipe_directory/r/roasted_tomato_soup_with_crispy_bacon.html). It involves bacon! And it gets better if you make it the day before and then reheat it.)

Hell–I suggest a whole cookbook, much like reading the Constitution during a filibuster.

Easy Tomato Soup

2 ripe tomatoes  
2 wooden mallets  
1 plastic bucket  
1 pathetic unfuckable loser message board troll who needs to wipe his pimply shit-crusted ass and get a life

Place one tomato inside each of troll’s cheeks. Pound cheeks firmly with wooden mallets. Catch soup in bucket. Dump bucket on troll’s head. Serve with grilled cheese sandwiches.

I don’t particularly want anyone to _kill_ Alex Jones but, given all the repugnant shit he’s said about Sandy Hook, I won’t exactly be crying salty tears into my morning coffee when he finally has that massive stroke he’s been heading for. The guy is scum.
