I am concerned about the mental health of my colleague from Georgia and would like ⁦
@CapitolPolice⁩ to address her dangerous threats in my workplace.

Just as we would in any school or job site, we cannot let calls for gun violence go unchecked.

What will this woman claim?

Freedom of Speech. It was just words that drove someone to harm a colleague.

Just see how the SORE LOSER and his ilk are trying to cannonize Ashli Babbitt -- the terrorist who was shot while trying to climb into the Capitol. Or they were until her violent past came to light recently.

Once again we come to a “if I did that” moment. She has to be at very least censured, it’s a slap on the wrist but it’s a slap instead of nothing.

Go, Haley, go!

Every. Single. Time.

Exercise second amendment rights. File every single piece of paper required to have this threat investigated.

Target, crosshairs, killshot, destory. I repeat. File every single piece of paper required to have this threat investigated.

Not only with Capitol Police. Make sure the report of the threat is sent to every relevant federal law enforcement agency. Post the reports on their website. Call their hometown newspapers and make sure this is reported in their districts and states. Talk to newspaper editors and encourage them to publish editorials calling these terrorists out. Because that is what they are: terrorists.

From the Patriot Act: A person engages in domestic terrorism if they do an act "dangerous to human life" that is a violation of the criminal laws of a state or the United States, if the act appears to be intended to: (i) intimidate or coerce a civilian population; (ii) influence the policy of a government by intimidation or coercion; or (iii) to affect the conduct of a government by mass destruction, assassination or kidnapping.

Every single republican who spouts violence and implicitly endorses threats and intimidation, like thos emichigan idiots and the yahoos at the Capitol ought to be held to this standard. They all supported it when Scary Brown Islamic people and "Lefties" were the targets.


Prosecute them and use this. Make use of Gitmo for these terrorists.

I am tired of the angry, loud, violent minority.

Fortunately the Domestic Terrorism Unit recently has been formed at the DOJ to handle this type of activity. Will it?

We (and she) are keenly aware of how attentive the GQP crowd is in discerning not-so-subtle dog whistles. She should be held to account for any violence that breaks out in the wake of these highly incendiary comments.

She would have been escoted out by security and visited by the local police (who might sympathize with her -- if just to keep up appearnces).

That people in Congress get away with this and have no real consequences.

Aren't there laws against threatening members of congress.

Has this woman even read the 2nd amendment? Because last time I checked, it mentioned the right to "keep and bear arms," not the right to kill people.

Asking for a friend.
