Ferguson 'activist': 'I know the National Guard is going to shoot to kill'

The curfew has been lifted, but the Missouri National Guard is arriving in Ferguson, Mo.

Gov. Nixon: Guard's scope is to provide protection and ensure the safety of Unified Command Center. #Ferguson #KSDK pic.twitter.com/4oSS14wca6

As Twitchy reported, public reaction was exactly as expected: a barrage of F-bombs against the National Guard. The wild rhetoric has escalated, unfortunately, with one “activist” telling MSNBC’s Zachary Roth that he’s “prepared to fucking die tonight.”

"I am prepared to fucking die tonight, because I know the National Guard is going to shoot to kill," says one activist.

@zackroth serious question:: where is the activist from? And what is his/her form of protest? @JamilSmith #Ferguson

@zackroth This is exactly what we do NOT need tonight. Stay home if you care about #JusticeForMikeBrown and #Ferguson

@zackroth @charlesjaco1 insightful or inciting quote? I always get those mixed up

Inciting.

@zackroth Do you still get to be called an "activist" if you're seemingly out only to escalate tensions?
