One day we will wake to his obituary :-)
I guess death threats and swatting is what you get if you speak out against the orange messiah. Have we had enough yet? Do you think this type of thing has gone too far on both sides?

The elderly mother of a former cop who risked his life defending the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6 was "swatted" after her son spoke out against former President Donald Trump, NBC News reported Wednesday morning.
 
The Koch Brothers' political group was actually teaching a course on how to swat political opponents. It really is attempted murder.

Why do you think she was swatted and not Fanone? :thinking:
 
A fake note — purporting to be from Fanone — had been emailed to a number of people, claiming the writer killed their mother and planned to go to the recipient’s school to shoot others. It provided the home address of Fanone’s mother. NBC News first reported the incident.

Fanone said the swatting — a form of online harassment involving the reporting of fake crimes to draw an emergency law enforcement response to target a victim — is frightening.

The swatting email “is sending law enforcement officers into a situation where they are acting under the assumption there is an active shooter in progress,” Fanone said. “It’s inherently dangerous. All it takes is one misinterpretation of someone’s actions — my mother in this case — and it could go catastrophically wrong.”
