This isn’t politics, folks.

The U.S. Bureau of Land Management is warning its workers in Utah to be on alert after two men threatened an agency wrangler on Interstate 15 about 90 miles south of Salt Lake City. The BLM says the incident occurred on I-15 near Nephi about 11 a.m. Tuesday when two men wearing hoods pulled up alongside a marked BLM truck and held up a sign that read, “You need to die.”
KUTV-TV reports one of the suspects held what appeared to be a handgun. The BLM worker slowed down and let the dark blue Dodge truck with an extended cab pass before exiting the interstate at Mills. He says he couldn’t get a license plate number because it was covered in duct tape. Authorities are looking for the truck.
Holding random federal workers personally responsible for the issues surrounding the Bundy Ranch protest is beyond radical. It’s right in line with Timothy McVeigh’s vision of revolution.
This is not normal politics. In fact, threatening random federal workers with death is not politics at all.
