[CupWizier]

Why has this guy not been removed from office as what he did is totally unacceptable to make a death threat to a presidential candidate.

It was stupid to say, I guess technically its a “threat” or threatening, but I think calling it a death is a bit of a stretch...

This is not appropriate for an elected official. Excusing it is enabling it.

so you think it's appropriate for a voted in congressman to make those sort of comments? Let's just ignore it and laugh it off eh?

What if this leads to some crackpot shooting O'rourke? Farfetched? Not in todays society.

Really? You've gotten death threats here?

I agree it's not appropriate.

Not excusing it.

I just don't think it meets the legal definition of a death threat.

I never condoned what he said, I just said I think calling it a death threat is a stretch.

Sorry about that. Should've been green font.

Do you think the guy should be removed?

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Do you think the guy should be removed?

For that?

No.

Yeah
I don’t like the comment either, it’s provoking. Unfortunately that’s where the two parties are at, seems it easier to blast each other rather than look for common ground.
A young person wearing a “youth for Christ Shirt” gets threatened, screamed at and touched, downtown Pdx, that’s the culture these two sides are breeding. And it’s grtting bad in the schools too according to teacher friends.

I know, I can't believe @Natebishop3 is still allowed to roam the pages of this forum.

um, doesn't sound like a threat.
Seems more like a statement of fact. Perhaps a reminder.

 

[jonnyboy]

Quite obviously not a serious threat. Stupid article with a misleading headline.

 

[jonnyboy]

Let's just ignore it and laugh it off eh?

Um...yeah, pretty much.

Pissing and moaning about trivial shit contributes nothing to society.

If you truly believe that then why do you piss and moan so much in this forum?

I know right, I create so many threads airing my grievances about stuff I don’t like.

I didn't know you read that post of mine about you. By the way, the part about ringing your neck was just kidding.

Hey, he let's you roam around in here.
Me? I'm lily white.

Oh come on, who hasn't had a message from Sly? Some are quite colorful.

Okay, okay so I've been a little harsh on you. I'm limiting my hate mail to less than 100,000. See, I can be good.
