They know very well they are lying and so does their audience
It’s enraging to see them disappear their history of violence, intimidation and murder like this. I don’t know how we can survive as a culture if they can get away with it.
And by the way, it’s not just abortion clinics. These threats and acts of intimidation and threats have been happening all over the country in just the last year!
Last night, an Idaho health department meeting to discuss and vote on COVID-19 mask mandates came to an abrupt end due to safety concerns over protesters raging in the parking lot of the health department building as well as at the homes of some of the officials in attendance.
According to Boise police, three of the officials at the meeting had protesters gathered outside of their homes during the meeting. One health board member, Ada County Commissioner Diana Lachiondo, interrupted the meeting after a phone call to inform her colleagues that she needed to leave.
Astonishing video footage showed the moment Tennessee anti maskers screamed abuse and threats at officials after a school board reinstated mandatory face mask rules.
One enraged looking man was filmed following an unidentified man who had spoken at the Williamson County Schools Board meeting Tuesday night, and roaring: ‘We know who you are, you can live freely, but we will find you.’
Another man stood beside him was filmed telling his pal to calm down, before himself saying: ‘You will never be allowed in public again,’ to the official as he got into his car with the help of a sheriff’s deputy who was escorting him.
The people kept showing up at the small Northern California office where Natalie Adona and her co-workers help run elections. Three days in a row, they came to try to push a petition for recall elections, refusing to wear masks despite a mandate and physically pushing their way into the office, according to legal documents.
Adona and her colleagues asked for a restraining order against the three people, worried about the trio who they say kept showing up to harass them at their jobs. A judge granted it, then later extended it for one of the people, finding “clear and convincing evidence” that the same person “engaged in unlawful violence or made a credible threat of violence.” An attorney for the trio has denied wrongdoing.
The elections office briefly shut down walk-ins. Adona, who is an assistant clerk-recorder for the Nevada County Elections Office, said she has experienced several panic attacks. She still worries about her colleagues.
“It was a really unfortunate incident that led to me and my staff feeling pretty afraid,” Adona told The 19th. “Certainly, I think that having a restraining order is an extreme way to settle a problem that I would have liked to have sort of settled by other means. But the circumstances and our county counsel felt it appropriate to go in that direction.”
Across the country, election administrators such as Adona are facing increasing harassment and threats of violence ahead of the next midterm election — a lasting effect of the lies told by former President Donald Trump that the 2020 presidential election was rigged against him. (It was not, according to multiple courts and Trump’s own administration.)
Most of those election workers — nearly 80 percent, according to survey data released last year from the nonpartisan Democracy Fund — are women. But while some states are passing laws that decrease the power of election officials, others are considering legislation designed to protect them against these increasing threats.
How dare these right wing assholes wring their hands over some peaceful, non-threatening protesters at Justice Alito and Kavanaugh’s houses. How dare they.
