‘Put on your raping shoes and find this b*tch': Abby Martin is the latest target of crazed Chris Kyl

Source: Raw Story



Fans of “American Sniper” Chris Kyle have threatened to rape and kill former RT anchor Abby Martin for criticizing the deceased Navy SEAL and creating a T-shirt they find offensive.

“Some psychotic Chris Kyle fan just doxxed me & my family’s personal information on a bunch of sniper forums. If anything happens to me or them you know who to blame. These are the real f*cking terrorists,” she wrote on her Facebook page.

Martin had criticized Kyle in the past for describing Iraqis as “savages” in his book. She also described the American Sniper movie as “dangerous propaganda that sanitizes a mass murdering psycho.” But it was her shirt that appears to have set off a campaign of harassment against her.

This week, conservative websites posted a picture of Martin wearing a “F*ck Chris Kyle” shirt. She had uploaded a photo of the shirt to her Instagram account last week. One website, which incorrectly identified her as a “liberal artist,” called on readers to “publicly shame” her for her “treasonous actions.”

<snip>

The reaction on social media was even more visceral. Users of Twitter and Facebook have mentioned raping and beheading her, threatened to murder her, told her to kill herself, and bombarded her with misogynistic insults. Addicting Info reported that one person called on American Sniper fans to “put on our raping shoes and find this b*tch.”

“F*cking c*nt. How dare you disgrace his name like that. He gave his life so you can have yours. F*cking b*tch. Don’t worry I know where you live thanks to your ip address. And don’t worry I’m a Marine,” said Jamie Lugo in a message shared by Martin. “So u won’t see me coming. I’m going to cause you pain beyond your imagination.” He later added: “Tic toc times running out.”

topics that our MSM media won't touch with a ten foot poll.

She's young, and extremely intelligent, does her homework too.

She should NOT take those threats lightly.

If our media was not owned by Corporations, journalists like Abby Martin would be sought out because of their diligent dedication to facts and actual news.

Instead most of our real journalists have to either outside the country or to Independent or Foreign media.

I would definitely be worried if I were in her position.

And she's probably taking them seriously, and she's probably worried. Her own "if something happens to me. . . " statement suggests that.

But, she's not cowering over it either. That's pretty tough stuff, there.

They seem awfully easy to provoke. Try bringing up gun control or inoculations. Probably have the same inbred genetics as the yahweh or allah woreshippers.

Much as I think living in a land of freedoms, I think that attrition of "stupids" by lack of finding smart mates, is a good thing.

THis doesnt mean all people in the military are good or bad or anything or all pentagon either.

It means we have fucked over lots of people in lots of places, and when we refer to human beings as savages, like this prick did and Geller is doing now, we deserve negative attention.

was to chime in your agreement with the position held by the guys threatening to rape her, i.e. "leave American Sniper/Chris Kyle aloooooone!"

you didn't have anything to say about the actual rape threats and harassment, which is the only important aspect of the story

No criticism of the perps, only the victim.

Pretty obvious, actually.

killers like him. And clearly she was right, since she has attracted some of them simply by telling the truth.

Have you seen anything on the MSM criticizing our Foreign Policies and producing killers like this, some have committed suicide unable to deal with what they were asked to do in that quagmire?

Just glancing at the coverage of this Sniper, all I saw was reverence for what should surely not be condoned in any civilized society.

Nothing about my life or my freedoms has ever been anywhere near Iraq or Afghanistan. The US is there to secure profits for the oil industry and we the people are picking up the tab. This is national policy bought and paid for through the institutionalized corruption of our election system. My freedoms? Kiss my ass.

...from their worries about their penises. There's an undertone of rape-as-function-check here that I don't believe is entirely coincidental.

No one anywhere is threatened by a t-shirt dissing the deceased, but a woman doing so is doubly intolerable, so some dumbass somewhere was probably bound to whip out his metaphorical dick to prove...whatever it is a terroristic threat proves.

Sad people.

Fri May 8, 2015, 02:52 PM

Most states in the US have laws (dating back to the 1950s) prohibiting "terroristic threats" (meaning those things said meant to alarm, put in fear, cause terror in the person or persons against whom the threat is lobbed) ... that includes FEDERAL LAW too. As such, those threatening to do so, over a medium of exchange could be found and charged with a felony.

One may have freedom of speech, but speech has consequences for the speaker ... always.

You want to talk about someone who is dishonoring his memory, then let's talk about his wife who has refused to honor the promise he made to the men in his unit. Kyle promised to help them with the proceeds from his book, and that promise was buried with him!!!

typical redneck, an embarrassment to humanity and to America from the time his kind got off the boat in 1840.
From the time the rednecks landed on our shores, they have been willing whores for the powerful. That is there
history. They supported the oppressive British Monarch via North Ireland. They brutally kept slaves in line for the master.
Today, they vote to keep the powerful in charge.
