Think about it, If you died from torture then you were innocent (maybe), if you survived the torture then you were a witch and you would be executed. Either way, once you were the target of their paranoid conspiracy, you were going to die. That made perfect sense to the religious zealots behind those barbaric acts of cruelty, and it makes perfect sense to the religious zealots behind these modern day death threats. I worry that if they get back in power we will see a modern day replay of those atrocities of the past. Religious zealotry is religious zealotry.

"You better choose what side you are going to be on..." is not a direct threat. He could say he was simply trying to warn in order to protect the person he called. And he would certainly find at least 2 or 3, if not more, people who would buy it.

The day after that I told my boss either you do something about this or just fire me. Because I am not quitting but I am also not working in this kind of environment anymore.

In short, she made it comfortable for me to stay on until I left for better options, which took a couple of years. That is exactly what I told her I wanted from the beginning.

When the caller would not pay up I went back to court and had their salary garnisheed and/or their property seized and auctioned, proceeds going to me as settlement. I want EVERYONE to know that no one has a right to threaten another with death. It is a State and Federal crime. If you walk away, quit your job then they win.

      That’s like the mom who blamed beavis and butthead when her kid set the house on fire. Don’t bs. No news network makes anyone do anything. We have biased news on both sides and for most people fox is the only conservative option. That’s not balanced with the number of left wing news outlets. Any time one of them gains some popularity, leftists harass the advertisers and cable companies until they drop them. When you equate your political ideology with morals, that’s the result.

    Trump gave his supporters something no one else would; permission to be their worst selves.
    That's why they will never abandon him.

      He said “peacefully make your voices heard”. If people instinctually default to violence, Trump didn’t bring it out of them. He’s just used as an excuse for rotten people. I voted for him and would never participate in any such nonsense. Because above all, my nature and my upbringing and my conscience dictate that I don’t hurt others. Don’t forget, Maxine waters told her supporters to form a crowd and “push back” on politicians at gas stations and grocery stores. Let’s not pretend that her rhetoric caused people to dox scotus judges and gather in front of their homes. They would have done it anyway. Maxine is just a scapegoat for people incapable of empathy or kindness.

    Not only is this crazy, it’s sad. These people keep quoting news stations, and why wouldn’t they believe the news. Journalistic integrity has fallen so far. Fox News and many others should’ve been fined or taken off the air years ago.

      Both CNN and Fox only sprinkle in like one or two actual news anchors the rest are political personalities. If cable news is your main news source just admit you're a bias idiot. It's sad that you get more accurate American news from European news networks than big US news networks.
