Threat maker seemed to enjoy himself as "Macho Man" played in the background.
Alex DiPrato at Channel 7 reports State and local police in New Hampshire are investigating an incident in which guy came up to him and his cameraperson outside the Orangefest in Londonderry yesterday and threatened to blow up the two "motherfuckers," maybe that night.
This man approached us the first time outside the Trump rally, left, then came back a second time while “Macho Man” was playing. #machoman pic.twitter.com/6fIB1Ne8wg

You left out the last part
somebody said "buy that man a beer!" immediately afterwords.
That meatball ain't no aberration, this is his loyal base. The hoods are off and they are proudly letting us all know exactly who they are.
It's a death cult fueled by racism, fear, and lies.
Gives the Village People a
Gives the Village People a bad name and THAT sucks. Damn good classic party song.
California, two weeks ago.
I believe Beverly Hills, but not sure. Sorry, Swirl if that isn't 'proof' enough for your high standards.
So, we have rainbow flag racists, American flag racists, Black racists and none of them have Molotov cocktails or anty-faa shields and masks.
They look like they're having a good time. Face it, people aren't buying the violence that the left is selling.
Crazy that for as long as you've been defending Trümp
You're still not very good at it.
That event's small crowd size doesn't support your claim
According to the Daily Mail article were this photo came from, the pro-trump crowd at this major-urban-area event may have numbered "as many as 400". That's pretty darn small these days, compared to events attended by people with opposing views. It's good that our country continues to celebrate the right of people - regardless of viewpoint - to peacefully march/protest. But I'd be wary of drawing any kind of conclusions about the flow of public opinion from a picture of a minor event.
Nor would I brag too much about the relative levels of violence "being sold" by the left/right, when we've just seen a young proud Trump supporter fatally shoot several people on camera.
Wrong links
Neither of your Twitter links work.
The links are correct.
The Tweets have seemingly been deleted. Can't find them on DiPrato's timeline.
Well...
...that tweet didn't last long. Anyone get a copy of it?
It was just one loud mouth, mouthing off
Picture the mob in DC harassing people attending the RNC and it's pretty much that--except it was just one person misbehaving and there was no physical assault.
No justice, no peace.
"pretty much that"
Can you point us to where Biden supporters made a bomb threat to a member of a local news station?
Not to metion this wasn't Jim Acosta who got threatened, this was some unknown local Channel 7 News guy (no offense) just trying to do a quick live shot for the 6 o clock news that would have aired for all of 4 minutes and just go home. The poor guy is just doing his job.
And this stable genius had to waddle over and get in the guys face while mentioning bombings all while egged on by the crowd.
Yeah, it's "pretty much that".
Actual assault--not just verbal threats
Per your request, link to Biden supporters assaulting people.
https://twitter.com/i/status/1299163851322273792
You verified all those people are Biden supporters?
Also what happened before some of those videos? We don't have all the context, for all we know that older white man might have assaulted someone and its mentioned in that thread.
Isn't that the typical response when the optics of a video don't meet your narrative?
No true Scotsman
You are asking such questions about the example I was asked to provide but you don't ask these questions of the original video. We're just surmising what's happening in both videos.
>Typical response when the optics of a video don't meet your narrative
Oh, most definitely--you did just that.
Get a grip
In relation to this threatening bully in NH, It doesn't matter if Biden (or Trump) shot someone on Fifth Avenue. The story is about a trumpster bully who threatened a channel 7 reporter, saying he was going to be bombed. No amount of both siderism changes the fact that this guy made a dangerous criminal threat.
Your example isn't pertinent and doesnt back up your claim,
But thanks for trying.
Also the shoehorning of the "no true scotsman fallacy" makes it clear you learned a new phrase and can't wait to tell everyone about it.
A bomb threat is not a joke
I watched the people harrassing Rand Paul in DC. I didn't see or hear of anyone threatening him with death by bomb.
So the comparison is like most right wing propaganda...false.
There's more than one video
If the police weren't there to push back the angry mob of Biden supporters do you think maybe the outcome would be different for Rand Paul?
Here's what happens when you are not afforded police protection and the Biden mob chases you: https://twitter.com/nieto_phillip/status/1299163851322273792
The video I get a kick out of...
...is the one where the crowd of leftie democrats is shouting "Say Her Name!!'' to Senator Rand Paul, the author of the Justice for Breonna Taylor Act.
Scumbags.
Saying "leftie" and "democrat
Saying "leftie" and "democrat" in the same sentence shows how fucking clueless you are about politics.
No. A bomb threat is NOT a joke.
They're not funny, and the perpetrator of a bomb threat could also be responsible for the death of people, as well. A person could drop dead of a heart attack, a stroke, or an asthma attack, or could have an epileptic seizure.
I agree with you here, anon. Speaking of bomb scares:
I still remember the day, years ago, when there was a bomb scare at Lincoln-Sudbury Regional High School, which I attended from the fall of 1965 through the spring of 1969, and graduated from that June.
It was an icy-cold day, in the middle of January 1967. I was a Sophomore at my high school back then. In the middle of the morning, the high school was evacuated. It started out like a regular fire drill, and we were all milling about out in the cold without our winter coats. After being outside for so long, we all had to assemble in the high school gymnasium. The school Administration sent everybody out, gradually, by group, to our respective school buses, instead of sending us home, while the police, the Sudbury fire department, and the school administration searched the high school. Sending everybody home would've increased the chance of the perpetrator of the bomb scare doing it again, so we all sat on our respective school buses for a few hours, until it was okay to go back in.
The perpetrator of the bomb scare, a fourteen or fifteen year old Freshman at the high school, was caught fairly shortly thereafter. Since he was a juvenile delinquent, and was a white kid who lived in Lincoln, MA, a suburb of Boston, he spent the better part of a year in the Billerica House of Correction. We all learned of it, because it was announced to everybody over the school intercom.
The whole sordid state of affairs was rather incredible, and not funny.
Criminal threatening
There's a distinction between being just a loudmouth and threatening criminal assault. Were members of "the mob in DC" threatening the RNC attendees with being bombed, they would also be committing a criminal act.
In DC there were physical assaults
Which is worse.
Citations needed
All the video that I have seen says otherwise, honey.
Got some video from Spain to share as "proof"? How about an RU quote? Da!
Certainly, here you go!
https://twitter.com/i/status/1299163851322273792
Because there is nothing to see?
I don't want tweets, dear - I want actual validated source video. And nothing from Spain or France or Belarus, honey.
You need to up your game or STFU. I'm tired of seeing "this is PDX now" bullshit only with EU license plates and German street signs.
You are either a gullible reactionary or you think you are fooling people only you aren't.
This whole post is about a tweet
Talk about being obtuse. This whole post is about a tweet and then suddenly when a tweet doesn't fit your agenda, tweets are unreliable?
You sound as unhinged as the Trump supporter.
"And please try to be civil."
You actually think you're the Tone Police, don't you?
Sorry
Didn't know that was your job here.
Oh look
It's Pee Wee Herman.
Rand Paul
He gets the Susan Collins Profile in Cowardice award, given to the legislator who throws the most dramatic pity party over being "threatened" by citizens "using their words" and petitioning for redress under the 1st Amendment. Scary stuff, being bumped by a bumbling cop who fell backwards after shoving somebody.
You know that Amendment that comes before the 2nd Amendment? Might want to read it sometime.
Gawd, you are funny.
You might want to read the Amendment that you so self righteously cite.
Clue..."...peaceably..."
We've been subjected to a summer of rioting, arson, looting and murder.
That's not covered by the First Amendment.
As far as Senator Paul, he survived a mass shooting where a gunman specifically targeted Republicans during a softball game. He survived being attacked by a left of center neighbor. Hell, he survived C-19.
People are getting sick of the violence. I saw an arrest spread a week or two ago. Twelve people arrested.
All white.
You might want to take your own good advice and stay in your own lane. Your thinking is so twisted left that you have no idea, or worse, are intentionally blind to the basic truths out there.
The videos are real. Denying them just makes you look foolish.
Murder? You mean the ones
Murder? You mean the ones committed by blue lives matter supporting Trump voters? Or the cops themselves?
Meet some of the dead.

I have a good one for ya
Proud Boys in Seattle were acting up recently. They looked like they were having fun.
Their head is Hispanic.
Just in case anyone was still wondering
why first cousins can't marry each other, here's exactly the comment you should read: the white supremacists in Seattle are having a grand old time! Also they're not white supremacists, because *mumble mumble something about a Hispanic guy*.
Troll harder, guy.

Caught on camera
So where is the video? As super official and real as a twitter post is there not a video? I guess if it’s on Twitter it really happened so no need to proof. Trump people bad. Rioter and loot people good.
The reporter removed the tweet
But not before thousands of people saw this man accost a complete stranger and threaten him.
He apparently thought a local news reporter was Anderson Cooper. This is what happens when Trump calls a free press "The Enemy of the People".
Sounds like it was pulled down
Which could be for a number of reasons, including law enforcement request.
Yeah
Law enforcement requested that this video be taken down before everyone figured out which town's police department he worked for
I saw the video. it's not either / or
I don't know why it's been taken down, but I saw the video early this am. The guy threatening the reporter is a jerk. Possibly a criminal, too. I didn't listen to the end, but if he made threats, I say prosecute.
The people burning and looting are jerks. And many of them criminals IMO, for doing so. I hope they're charged.
It's not an either/or. (As an ironic side note, the rioters might also help Trump win).
Look at the post above
The video is right here. As "GentrifiedOut" posted above almost an hour before you commented.
Journalism 101
I've never heard of Alex DiPrato but will he or she continue to cover President Trump after claiming to be a victim of one of the President's supporters? It might be hard to stay neutral if neutrality is still a longstanding tradition. Of course the threats should be fully prosecuted.
That sounds good, but in this
That sounds good, but in this case it would mean "thugs can threaten or physically attack reporters, and nobody should talk about it." You want people to be able to threaten the press without anyone except the victims knowing about it.
This isn't "hey look, I'm standing out there in a snowstorm." This is reporting on an attempt to interfere with freedom of the press. First amendment, remember.
The reporter in this case is the story for the same reason that Ronald Reagan was the story when Hinckley tried to kill him.
First Amendment?
He wants that one to go away so he can just go straight to the second when the pool boy isn't available.
What?
Alex DiPrato is not claiming to be a victim. He's simply sharing a video of him being verbally accosted while minding his own business and doing his job. It's the truth of what happened and it was caught on camera. You want him to remove himself from reporting on future stories about Trump because a Trump supporter threatened to bomb him? That's not how journalism works.
Is there a backup link to the
Is there a backup link to the video? I read he took it down at the request of LEO who are doing an investigation? Was it that guy was Nelson Zapata, the guy from NH who makes those scary F.B. videos on Trump and has been on the news with Donald Trump Jr. at the past NH rallies? I dont understand how hes still allowed on the platform?? Would like UHub to look into that!
Embedded video won't play
Adam edited this post to add a video, but nothing happens when I try to start it playing.

It's a screen shot of the video, not the video itself.
If things get real, fatso has about 20 seconds of fight in him.
Second 21 will reveal a lack of oxygen and stamina that no amount of adrenaline can overcome. The tough talk and threats reveal a weak and scared middle aged, suburban republicans dad.
