http://winningdemocrats.com/trump-fan-threatens-to-beat-hillary-like-a-man-before-shooting-her-and-obama-screenshots/George describes himself as a business owner on Twitter. A Google search for his name pulls up Midland Auto Repair in Columbus, Ohio. A post by his wife in July advertises that they need an experience mechanic who is encouraged to call the business imediatly.
It is unclear if Mr. George employs any African-Americans who would not appreciate his use of the word n*gger, but one thing is for certain he will be voting in November.
Agent Mike, you know the drill.

Nice education you got there, John George!

Why give them any reason to either not hire you or do business with you?

(783 posts)I don't think you can just cross your fingers when you say something and be legally relieved of responsibility.
What about that admonition that you can't legally "cry FIRE in a crowded theater" ? Does it become legal if you say, " pssst: This isn't a threat or a warning, people, but) -- I smell FIRE! FIRE!! F I R E ! ! ! F IIII R E !!!Run, the place is on F I RE ! ! !" . . . ?
See, I think not. I think that if one makes a plausible threat and then says "just joking" that probably doesn't make it okay. It is for a court to decide. But the court can't decide until the authorities pick him up and charge him. Or are we doing citizens arrests now? Maybe reporting it to the authorities would be the best course. Let them investigate. Of course, multiple such reports might encourage them to do so...

(21,555 posts)he made multiple threads about physically attacking "demoncrats" and i don't think we should let this go. let's use the power of strength in numbers and overwhelm twitter until they have no choice but to ban him. when you report, report that "They're being harmful or abusive" then "Threatening violence or physical harm" then that the abuse is targeted at "Someone else"
twitter then lets you select 5 tweets as evidence. there are plenty of threatening tweets to choose from. Make sure you also include the threat tweet referenced by the OP. might need to scroll down a bit to find it.

(14,853 posts)... a "redneck" bar not far from me a few years ago. I "blacked out" (knocked out) after leaving the place and woke up with a HUGE bump on the back of my head and a bloodied/bruised face.
I shared the story here:
