Fomenting violence - on another front

A couple of days ago, I posted about the Washington Post's article about Trump using fear and lies to whip up his base, and remarked that I was waiting for militias to start charging the border.  I didn't have long to wait.

I was listening to NPR this morning, when a caller from Texas phoned in to say he was part of a "small militia" that was going to the border to "make sure these people don't ge into our country."  He then immediately started ranting about being "sick of you people," and they cut him off.  The NPR host said they were glad to be a part of a discussion with many different opinions, but they were not going to allow anyone to attack anyone else on the air.

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.

UPDATE:  Report on militia.
