I think terroristic threats are illegal just about everywhere in the U.S., and that's exactly what that was. These fuckers are going around to school boards all over the place and making threats if they don't get their way. It needs to be stopped. She's talking about taking loaded guns to a school, for Chrissake!

That was a direct threat, including time and place. She will likely be getting a much needed visit from the feds.

If she had put it in writing or email, it could be considered a class 6 felony with up to 5 yrs in jail.

Can we give them some land and they can live amongst themselves?

is, for them, a power game. But I cannot imagine how they can feel so strongly about mask wearing (and I HATE HATE HATE wearing a mask) that they threaten people like this. It's sooooo important to this woman that her child not wear a mask that she is willing to go on the record threatening a school with a mass shooting. I mean, I get protecting your child, but masks are not dangerous.

The same with airline mask rebels. You planned and paid for a trip to London, did all the trip prep it takes to go on an international trip, and then you force the airplane to turn around because you won't wear a mask? It boogles my mind. If I couldn't stand wearing a mask on a plane trip across the ocean, I just wouldn't go!

We have a mask mandate in Oregon, but some few people are just fucking morons. They need to be told, put on your mask by the store staff. I told one myself. He threaten to punch me out, said he wore his ring for that reason. I'm over 50 years older than him. Then he stalked me around the store.

Which is exactly right. And this is clearly a criminal threat. Has she been arrested yet? If not, why not?

Crazy is as crazy does.

Get ready for more of those fascist Dipshits to come out of the woodwork.

See, "these" are the types of fucking parents Mcauliffe said he didn't want coming into schools telling teachers what they can teach.

This story is how these ignorant fucksticks win.

In the story, it mentions that multiple parents, in fact a MAJORITY, spoke in favor of the health and safety protocols, but you see who is getting the most coverage.

Would Democrats ever show up at a fucking School Board meeting and threaten to kill people unless they got their way? Would Democrats ever go to a School Board and say; "you better fucking teach accurate American History courses, because "we know where you live"?

But sure, both sides are just the fucking same.

Maybe I should say "these are a majority of the people that just swept nutbags into every statewide office in VA".

I get tired of folks saying "this is not who we are", when every piece of evidence suggests this is precisely who we are.

I know I sure as hell wouldn't get any consideration for that kind of shit.

But make yourself a darling of right-wing nut jobs who are in positions of power, and they might just grant you some of their own far-more-considerable latitude under the law than regular folk get.
