One Sunday after church, Jeff Mullin and his wife were in line at the Western Sizzlin steakhouse here when a man, fists clenched, threatened to beat the hell out of him.
My first thought was just to kind of try to keep things calm. Otherwise, it was going to be two old guys rolling around on the floor of the steakhouse, and that would be pretty unseemly, recalled Mr. Mullin, 64, the mustachioed senior writer for Enids daily newspaper, The Enid News & Eagle.
The dispute was not personal. It was, of all things, editorial.

(28,246 posts)2. Remember eons ago, during the campaign.....
when every newspaper of consequence in the whole freaking country---blue states, red states, and every shade in-between--- endorsed Clinton, giving us yet another indication that she'd walk into the White House without even breaking a sweat? And now Trump goons have emerged from under their rocks and are threatening newspaper employees. If you're not outraged, you're not paying attention.
