Georgia Tipsheet compiled the tweets.

Retweeting someone who said Romney was in Atlanta, Kalea McNeill tweeted, “Loads up watergun w/ acid.”

“Oh dey gon shoot dat man !” said another tweeter, @_itsCOKEWAVE.

“Mitt romney in Atlanta…guess its time to go mobing,” tweeted someone who goes by Y.A.M.S.

“*loads choppa*” tweeted Jada Fire.
