Part time dumbass
I work in a government building that deals with a lot of crazies, druggies, and criminals on the regular. I'm very aware of death threads, bomb threats, mass shooting threats, etc. We get them all the time. Some are taken more seriously than others depending on the person.
When I read through the article it sounded like the local population upped their threat game from the usual crazies and extremists and it was considered a credible enough issue that she decided to step down. That's bullshit. They voted her in, go ahead and vote her out. Don't resort to threatening violence.
I don't think she should have armed guards that hunt down people threatening her, because I also don't think normal, sane people who voted her in should be threatening her, they should just write her a letter letting her know if she continues down that path then she won't be getting votes next time.
And if those people were in the minority and had no way to vote her out, then they need to accept the will of the general population and deal with it rather than trying to change things for the few despite the many through violent threats. Exactly the same way I accepted Trump as my president when he was elected, and exactly the same way I was unhappy with his policies so I complained and then didn't vote for him in the last election. If that's disconnected from reality, then we're closer to mob rule than I thought.
You do realize we have an amendment in place that guarantees we have the right and ability to use arms against our government should it become tyrannical, correct? As a government man you should understand the documents that all of our lesser governments were originally founded in accordance with. The 2nd exists for no other reason.
