The mother of a Michigan man accused of threatening President Biden and other prominent Democrats has been charged with making false statements when purchasing firearms later found in her son's possession.
Prosecutors claim in charging documents unsealed Tuesday that Michelle Berka, 56, knowingly lied when she bought five guns and said they were for her, when really they were for someone else. The indictment does not say to whom Berka gave the firearms, but her son was arrested in March with four of the same guns. Randall Berka Il was charged earlier this year with illegally possessing firearms after having been involuntarily committed for mental health treatment in 2012 and deemed legally incapacitated, which barred him from possessing guns or ammunition. He is also accused of making death threats on YouTube toward Biden, Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D) and members of the L***Q community.
He allegedly wrote on social media that "biden
deserves to die" and that he was "more than willing" to k**l Whitmer. The younger Berka also wrote, "we have to k**l the politicians, theres nothing wrong with righteous violence and death," according to the FBI. In March, Randall Berka was ordered detained ahead of trial. A bond for $10,000 was set Tuesday for Michelle Berka.

Not necessarily. But it has been my (admittedly personal) experience that people who look at evidence before they draw conclusions, especially conclusions they feel truly strong about, tend to migrate to the right. People who see the world not as it is, but through their own personal lens, people who see and recognize evidence only when it backs up their world view or chosen narrative, those people tend to move to the left.
There are, however, such people on both sides of the spectrum. We see some of them on the right, those who support Trump without seeing his faults, unlike the majority of us who support Trump IN SPITE of his faults, because his positives outweigh his negatives.
Narrative followers tend to be easily led around because they are looking for people to validate their beliefs. That's what the Democrats do. No limits. Do what feels good, right or wrong, just or injust, legal or illegal. We will support it. I think a lot of people find that emotionally appealing. As we can see, too many such people are dangerous.
