How many chances are they going to give Alex Jones?

This is a man whose wife cornered him during a divorce with his own material and the court essentially declared Jones unfit to have any sort of custody of his three kids.

Some of the evidence against him included a substantial number of Jones’s “greatest hits” (we’re sorry, it’s not remotely amusing) including his statements that the Sandy Hook massacre was a hoax and his claim that police smoke seized marijuana to test its effectiveness. His ex-wife attempted to introduce more but the court accepted only the above. It was more than enough.

It was enough that it would ruin just about anyone with any sort of audience, though that was before the internet and before Jones championed Trump.

We reported on the fact that Jones utterly lost it just a few days ago, screaming at Trump, screaming at the courts, screaming at the world and then appearing to end up in tears. The man was clearly not mentally well.  In case you missed it.

In between bouts of heavy breathing and over-exertion from standing and speaking, Alex Jones makes an open threat to President-Elect Biden, telling the crowd at #MarchForTrump: "Joe Biden is a globalist, and Joe Biden will be removed, one way or another!" pic.twitter.com/qMZk2f2wLK

We are known to use the occasional daring word, but we never use them in anger, only for humor (if one is into that). Jones just went on a rant that used more profanity in a couple of minutes than we’ve seen in any media, perhaps ever. Again, the man is not at all well – listen to him!

But today he took it to another level, today he took it to the point where someone should seriously consider arresting him on charges of inciting violence and-or threatening a public official, in this case, the president-elect of the United States. As we have said before, it is stochastic terrorism, say it enough and some lone wolf will act on behalf of Jones. It isn’t much different than an old quote attributed to Henry the Second almost one-thousand years ago: “Will no one rid me of this turbulent priest?”

It would appear that we haven’t come very far:

Alex Jones saying "Joe Biden will be removed, one way or another" is an unmistakable threat on the life of our duly-elected President, Joe Biden.

He should ALREADY be in police custody.

There is exactly one way to “remove” a president once in office (given that Jones says “removed,” he implies that Biden will be in office, the only place from which he can be removed), the one legal way is to impeach him. So for Jones to say “One way or another,” is truly a threat. It is akin to the “Second Amendment remedies.” Biden can resign, but for a third-party to “remove” him, it would be outside the law and that means a violent threat.

Some might say, “Yeah, he’s a kook, no one will pay attention to him.”

Wrong, emotions haven’t been this heated and dangerous since perhaps the last time people were assassinating the nation’s leaders. Many MAGA heads don’t see Biden as legitimate, they’d find it that much easier to justify “taking a shot.”

The Secret Service should make it clear that they’re not going to put up with this type of threat and nip this in the bud before it becomes the norm. It won’t guarantee Biden’s safety, but it will at least send a message to those in the “contemplation” or “planning” phase.

Peace, y’all
