Do you need glasses or a lesson in context?
Why are you being a cunt? Does the article list any threats or does it not? Can you read?
I’m not defending these assclowns. I don’t support racist idiots. I’m just pointing out that there aren’t any threats being made in the article, and the US has strong free speech laws - you’re allowed to call people racist names if you want to, it’s a protected right to do so. If any of these dumb fucks threatened the DA, then yes that is a punishable offense.
Just because you didn't get to read it, doesn’t mean it wasn't threatening.
Yeah, I'm being a cunt (your words) because you seem to be seallioning.
These are credible and you just seem to want to downplay it.
So glasses or a lesson in context clues?
