Do you have a better source? Or are you just pissing around because people are taking these people's word on it? Because again you really haven't shown why they shouldn't be believed
Who should be believed? What are you on about?
I’m not sure how to make this any more clear - the article does not provide anything about threats being made or an ongoing investigation.
So my original question was, based on the linked article, what would these dumb racist fucks be charged with?
Since you seem to admit the article does not provide evidence of threats of bodily injury or harm being made, and no ongoing investigation thereto, it seems only reasonable to conclude at this time based on the evidence in the article there is not a charge that can be made against these dumb pieces of shit.
That’s my only point. That’s it. Are we on the same page yet?
Pretty sure a DA can tell whether the contents of the email that we are not privy to qualify as harassment or threats. JFC what kind of stunned cunt are you?
Again, you’re injecting - she is never quoted as saying such in the fucking article you thick twat.
Your clearly don’t understand the point I am making here. It’s like I’m talking to a 4 year old.
Free speech is protected. Threats against someone are not. Given the article, on what basis would charges be made against one of the people sending these gross emails?
I’ll spell it out for you, again. NONE. The DA doesn’t say she received threats in the article. The article only quotes nasty emails, that are void of threats.
