Hardcore Donald Trump supporters are calling for riots, insurrection, and assassination after a Manhattan jury found him guilty of 34 felony counts of falsifying business records.

Trump became the first US president to be criminally convicted on Thursday, but said he would “continue to fight” the decision. He will have 30 days to do following his sentencing on July 11

There is no doubt about this and it's quite expectable that hardcore Trump supporters will call for riots and violence and they have done it in the past on numerous occasions. At one point they did storm the Capitol proving these threats can materialise. From the comments made online some of his supporters called for attacks on jurors, the execution of the judge or outright civil war and armed insurrection.

The Independent & Reuters have reported on the comments with some of them given in this article

In messages seen by The Independent, and others reported by Reuters, Trump die-hards on social media are calling for violence in the wake of the verdict.

“Find the jurors. All of them. Take no prisoners,” wrote one user on a Trump-focused message board.

“Just give them the rope,” said another, in an explicit reference to lynching. “The time for talking has long gone. Let them swing outside the courthouse.”
