Actor James Cromwell warns of 'revolution': 'There will be blood in the streets' if Democrats lose

Washington Times via Free Republic

Based upon incomplete information, the impression this guy is leaving seems like a threat.

What is the difference in meaning between the words "threat" and "warning"?

A threat seems boorish, whereas a warning sounds less boorish.  It is boorish to demand something that you must comply with, or face violence.  A warning may be vague, or it may be specific.  However, if it is specific as to consequences, then that is fair enough.

But, all the same-- warning or threatening violence sounds like they want something to which they are not entitled.  Nobody is entitled to overthrow the government.  So, this is a warning from me to those like this guy--- if unwarranted and unjustifiable attempts to encroach upon anything to which I have a stake and hold valuable, I will definitely be willing to fight.

If Trump wins, there is no excuse for political violence.  None of the sort should be accepted.  That's regardless of who wins.  However, the majority does not have the right to disregard the Constitution.  The Constitution is sovereign.  Nobody can hold power and remain legitimate without remaining in compliance with this fundamental law.

If the liberals win, they may attempt to do things that the law forbids.  That is to say, if the law actually means anything to anybody anymore in this country.  In such a case as that, you should be prepared to make it plain to these people that no such move shall be undertaken.

That is why so-called conservatives should be organizing, but they are not.  All this talk about having weapons means nothing if the government has the authority.  Government power will over-match individual powers.  It is wishful thinking and possibly disingenuous to say otherwise.

Who does this guy speak for, anyway?  He has no such standing, unless some entity elects him for something.

More circuses?  Possibly.  He cannot execute any such threat.

More info....  He is the son of a director who was blacklisted during the McCarthy period.  Is he a communist?  To threaten revolution over a lost election is not necessarily evidence of communism, but this guy is over the top.
