I get actual physical threats in my community by commenting things like “Maybe prez. #45 didn’t have the best interests of the American people..” And local police laugh it off when I try to file a complaint because of the seriousness of the intent. Physical violence, both the acts and the threats have become normalized and much more frequent since the reign of the Orange Horror Clown. His modus operandi of: “It’s alright to use violence to accomplish your goals, the rule of law is for suckers and losers”, has taken deep root. When freedom of expression turns to threats of assault and assassination , it’s no longer protected speech. If congress can’t stop itself from this vile behavior, maybe it’s time the DOJ to investigate, file charges, and see how the courts handle this. If I lived in a civilized county (or perhaps country, for that matter), I would expect to be prosecuted for telling someone that I was going to brutally assault and kill them, especially in public. It’s not locker room talk, it’s not a joke. It’s just wrong.
In what other job could you, even in jest, threaten the life of coworkers and not be fired? I’m so tired of republican’ts talking about “the elite” – frankly, our elected representatives are the true elites. They make me sick.

Gosar’s family have been disparaging his (so-called) character, and they should know.

Maybe someone could/should make a video of Gosar (& Marjorie Taylor Greene) as targets of a PIE HIT (remember those form the ’70’s?)
