Rhonda Fields gets threatened

[Zundfolge]

I need to be sure to state it up-front - THIS IS PURELY A HYPOTHETICAL QUESTION! (that follows). I am in NO WAY suggesting ANY actions to ANYONE, but am curious about something.

Disclaimer now stated.

What would be the reaction to having some targets printed up with photos of our 'favorite' Dems in place of the normal photos?

If someone were to take videos of target practice on such modified target, would it (could it) be perceived as a threat of any sort?

I think of it as the contemporary equivalent of pasting a photo on a dart board - BUT - with all the paranoia running rampant, I wonder if LE would consider it harmless or threatening?

Is there any precedent?

That is such an unbelievably bad idea I'm surprised some anti gun groups haven't staged such videos yet and posted them on youtube (Racist rednecks with guns shooting Rep Fields in effigy! Film at 11!)


Hell, Republicans were pilloried for using posters with gun sights over targeted congressional districts in other states and said posters used to blame them for the shooting of Gabby Giffords.


For Chrissake, I wouldn't be surprised to see Democrat activists murder their own Democrat politicians as a means of discrediting conservatives, libertarians and the gun rights movement.

We certainly don't need to feed the beast with our own discussion of even thinking about symbolically shooting pictures of Democrat politicians.

The ends justify the means. This is how the Democrats (CPUSA) operate. Anything, and I mean anything will be done to further their agenda.

Yeah - probably so. I have those (unbelievably bad idea) from time to time.

Still, I couldn't help but conjure up the image of the dart board I mentioned earlier - only with a thematic twist.

I'll tuck my tail and skulk away now, duly chastised . . .

Edit to Add: For the record, the image I was conjuring had absolutely nothing to do with race or gender. The particular Dem I had in my imagination is the same race and gender as me. Just want to be clear.

You probably aren't the only person to think of it I bet. Don't skulk too far away.

correct me if I am wrong, but as the United States was declared a Battlefield by the 2012 NDAA, aren't we shooting traitors under Article I?
As far as I know, wartime suspends article III trials (Constitutional) regarding treason.

A crime? Shit you should be mandated to threaten politicians at every opportunity that is presented, maybe they wouldn't be so cocky if they had to abide by the laws they pass, people could carry a gun around them without being prosecuted, etc.

I won't pass any judgement until they put up what was written. At this point in time I don't trust a single one of the polticians.

Good idea, this guy could be a plant by the (D) to garner sympathy and strength for their anti-constitutional activities.

they just said on koaa ch.5 that they had just received the arrest report and there were several and explicit threats and racist remarks threatening her and obama, they would have more on tonights news after they went through it. below is a cut and paste from some of it. it don't make him or us look good if it is true.

“I guarantee there is not enough law enforcement or military to stop an all-out overthrow of this government if you or that n—– president tries to take our guns,” one e-mail dated Feb. 13 reads. “Guarantee we will make World War I and II look like child’s play, many will die. Be prepared.”
Another e-mail expresses hope that someone would “Giffords” both Fields and Rep. Beth McCann, an apparent reference to the 2011 mass shooting that nearly killed Arizona Rep. Gabby Giffords.
The paper letter attributed to Sain states, “There will be blood! I’m coming for you, n—– b—–.” The letter was postmarked Feb. 16.

I very much doubt he's a plant but I'll wait to see what exactly the "threats" were before passing judgment.

As far as DHC's hypothetical goes, incredibly bad idea, even posting it as a hypothetical plays into the antis' efforts to label us all as deranged whackos bent on solving differences of opinion with violence. Use your standard bad guy and zombie targets but do NOT put up pictures of political leaders no matter how screwy you think they are. I'm sure some people may have some difficulty telling the difference between a zombie and Harry Reid or Nancy Pelosi but just look for the green skin.
