MAGAt death threats are absolutely out of control

[Takket]

Something needs to be done about this. People just performing their jobs and living their lives don't deserve to live in terror from these psychopaths. Congress/DOJ need to do something, either strengthening laws or adding agents to make these people easier to find and prosecute.

1. Absolutely.

[Joinfortmill]

2. Garland's DOJ will not back down. People will go to prison.

[IronLionZion]

3. These are terrorist threats

and should be treated as such by law enforcement.

[JudyM]

24. This. No leniency.

[Evolve Dammit]

4. x1000!

5. We need an effective TV ad about this because it's getting out of hand

Show photos of Judges, Doctors, Nurses, FBI agents, election workers etc, who have gotten death
threats from MAGAts with a "Is This How You Make America Great Again?" caption/quote.

More ideas here........

7. No, we need to see some arrests -- a lot of them

These threats are not just "free speech." Specific threats of death and bodily harm, arson, bombings, etc need to be prosecuted. Much worse than yelling fire in a theater.

18. We need both

We need to shine a spotlight on this terrorism, and we need consequences worse than house arrest.
We don't need to wait for laws or law enforcement. The Party can start buying ads slanted to protect poll workers, for one thing.
For example: LE slow-walked the paperwork so that the armed guy threatening Pramila Jayapal's house had to be released from prison.

(he was eventually charged)
We should be blasting events like this all over the media, and buying ads if they won't cover it.

Similarly, the Party should be making it clear that the terrorism experienced in Georgia by poll workers Shaye Moss and Ruby Freeman will not be tolerated. Just patting them on the back and praising them is a pathetic response. Poll workers need to know that they will be protected. Waiting, and then responding to disaster, is a losing game plan. I don't see the FBI or DoJ holding pressers and saying that threats and intimidation will not be tolerated. Don't wait for the wheels of justice to grind fine. Take action.

6. There are laws against death threats

I don't understand why people don't go to jail for this.

If you threatened to kill your neighbor, you would be seeing police knocking at your door.

8. in a nearby thread, it was "explained " that procedure

must be followed before any indictments of TFG. Essentially, expect 3 fucking years after the nuclear documents were stolen, there might be indictments.

my father hinted that he met a few people from the Manhattan Project.

On behalf of his infantry and armored infantry services in WW2 and Korea, i am pissed off at water carriers of DOJ procedure.

9. Generally it's because they'll say "I hope someone disembowels your entire family" type thing

Not "I'm going to disembowel your entire family".

They know they can get away with this, and do.

[gristy]

14. Hmm. Don't be so sure.

I expect that the more 3rd person assertion is also illegal. But I just don't know.

10. Shoot them!

No more 1/6
This time it's Claymores and hand grenades.
This is not a game!
My oath is stll in place even after 50 years.
Yes, I own a 1911. So?

12. It seems to me that this is a very appropriate time to pass law(s)

related to tele-terrorism (or other some legally/formally appropriate title). This is just as terroristic as IEDs, snipers, etc., just as oppressive as groups like the Taliban or ISIS, and needs to be treated as such. These people need to be put away. We also have a big, mostly empty holding facility at GITMO.

13. Losers go violent once they know they have lost

I hope we have enough space to jail them all.

[orthoclad]

19. We have an epidemic of rage

And rage seems to be addictive.

[Initech]

15. It's truly insane to me that their first resort to everything is always murder.

Even worse is that MAGA elected officials (like Marjorie Trash Garbage for instance) casually drop hints that they'd like to murder, jail or publicly execute their political opponents. It's fucking crazy.

16. The man's a lightning rod for evil.

Most of these people are just despicable, evil little trolls who get off on inflicting pain and fear. They don’t care whose lives they ruin for the thrill of feeling more than impotent and they don’t have the potency to actually work for whatever change they think is worthwhile. But a few might act, might want to be “heroes” in that despicable crowd. That’s what the others are counting on, that the real monsters will let them get off on faux power.

I’m so disappointed in humankind.

17. All talk no bite

Been threatened like this and then dare them to try it. Don't act afraid of these people. They are all talk no bite

[orthoclad]

20. They don't need to bite.

How many honest poll workers have quit since 2020?
I leave when a dog has teeth bared and hackles up.

21. No appeasement Radical extremists/Terrorists

Recognizing what we’re dealing with is sobering, realistic but very useful advice for dealing with MAGAts.

23. Thank you. That's much easier to read!
