man... i dont know how we got here... some dude, driven by hate & misinformation, thinks he can just buy explosives & threaten ppl at a rally... its like, what is this world coming to? where do we draw the line between free speech & actual harm? Vandenberg's actions werent about expressing his opinion or beliefs, but about causing fear & chaos... and that's not okay. 10 years might seem like a long time, but what about the other ppl who are already hurting, already marginalized, already in danger? we need to be smarter than this, we need to recognize the harm that ideologies like neo-Nazism can do & fight against them
I mean, can you believe this guy's obsession with hate and violence? He thought bombing cops at an anti-Trump rally would be some kinda sick thrill, but what he forgot was that his actions would put actual innocent people's lives at risk . It's just so twisted to think about, like, what kind of warped thinking leads someone down this path? And the fact that he used "mortar" fireworks to create sounds simulating gunfire? That's just straight-up psycho .
I'm glad the authorities stepped in and caught him before it was too late. Up to 10 years is definitely the right sentence for someone who thought they could threaten public safety with explosives . And yeah, the neo-Nazi stuff is super concerning – it's like, come on, dude, can't you just have your own opinions without spewing hate?
just crazy how far down the rabbit hole some people can go ... i mean, you gotta respect the law and everyone's right to an opinion, but using firework "mortar" to pretend it's gunshots at a protest? that's just not cool . Vandenberg's whole anti-Semitic vibe was pretty unsettling too... how did he go from being a Navy SEAL (who's supposed to be all about honor and loyalty) to spewing hate like that? the fact that he thought Trump was controlled by Israel and Jewish interests is wild, but at least he got caught before anyone else got hurt . glad the judge had him behind bars for up to 10 years, it's a good reminder that extremism won't be tolerated
