FReepers, there was an earlier thread which discussed a letter I received that appeared to be a threat because of my political beliefs, particularly because of the film, HILLARY! UNCENSORED: Banned by the Media.
Thanks to great FReeper investigative work, an identity was made. Because it is possible that someone else sent the letter and used someone else's identity, I asked for that thread to be pulled.
A police report was filed just in case it was not someone just blowing off steam. If I don't like someone's political beliefs, I prefer mocking to threatening.
The officer is going to try to reach the individual and give me a report tomorrow. I'll then give you a followup.
I've received threats before, but this is the first that actually had a return address. That's unique. Wait, I take that back. I once did a real estate exchange transaction involving a property in Texas. The California buyer went to Texas to inspect it. I made him aware that the neighborhood had a very high crime rate. Our property manager had constant problems. He personally acknowledged that and personally inspected it. Full disclosure in writing was absolutely conveyed. He knew he was taking on a severe problem, but he had a relative within driving distance of the property who would manage it. Well, the first time the relative went to collect rents, a tenant pulled a gun on him. He obviously never went back. The guy in California actually sent me a letter threatening to break my legs if he lost money. Just amazing.
Nuts are everywhere. Good luck with getting this one.
If it really is the person tied to the return address, I am hoping that one call from the PD will convince him to drop it.
A typewriter? Where did the perp find that relic?
I hope you cut and copied that thread.
I did not.
Doug, sounds like your moving into Larry Nichols land. Be safe, and always pray for Divine assistance and protection.
Nuts everywhere are for Clinton. The hatred goes along with the Candidate.
Watch out for the Clintons, Doug! They gas innocent children and blame it on their parents!
In my closet I have the typewriter used for my term paper in high school. It is a relic.
Wow, you’d have to be a major-league moron to have put a name or return address on a letter as obviously threatening as that. Of course, it being a Hillary supporter, that wouldn’t be much of a surprise.
Has Liddy lost his mind? (just kidding) ;^)
I think it is most likely someone frustrated to see that the truth about Hillary may cause her some political damage. True believer Kool-Aide drinkers don’t like that.
He is, of course, referring to Hillary's comprehensive health care plan.
The funniest thing on the other thread was the photo of a guy on his motorcycle. The FReeper comment was that the guy had a Hillary sticker on his helmet. His helmet had the word *itch.
CBS's 60-Minutes research team.
Good for you, Doug. It sure was amazing to see all of the research done so quickly by Freepers to help you out.
That was not a very nice line, huh?
I saw it! It was outstanding.
Sounds like Dan R. don’t it?
A crude note, written by an obviously uneducated person.
Which makes sense, since the person is a Hillary supporter.
Which makes the threat all the more credible.
You are wise to take it seriously!
Thanks for the update. I am glad that you reported it to the police and that it seems to be coming together for you.
