The Employees Of Alligator Brewing Company Got Death Threats For Richard Spencer Protest
While many are praising the brewery, others are condemning it — the spokesperson said people associated with the Alligator Brewing event have received death threats.
According to the Miami Herald, Spencer’s team has learned of the plan. Instead of allowing community members to get tickets from the university, Spencer’s team will distribute the event tickets themselves, a method designed to “avoid the sabotage,” Cameron Padgett, a Georgia grad student organizing on behalf of Spencer, told the Herald.
The Tall Paul spokesperson declined to comment on specifics when asked whether there would be a change of plans given the new ticket distribution method.
“Just like the group has a right to free speech, the [brewery] also has a right to promote as they like. I agree with it,” Nelson Irizarry, a longstanding Gainesville resident, said in a Facebook message to Mic. Irizarry works as an Uber driver but said he will not be driving and doesn’t plan to go outside that day either, in order to protect his safety — especially given that Florida has declared a state of emergency.

Keep going, MAGATs. Just remember for every felony you commit, one of yours loses their right to vote.
