It's time to take these threats of violence seriously. We are in a vulnerable condition.

TLR these threats are not political hyperbole covered by the 1A. They are terrorist threats and you can help stop this, change the course we're on. Scroll to the bottom to find out how. I don't want the US to become a terrorist's paradise and you don't either. As demonstrated by the title and interest of this sub, if you are reading this, you are probably already aware of the association between the US Republican party and the potential for violence. I've seen a wide variety of responses to the increasing trends towards violence and terrorism from the right in this sub, both threatened and carried out. Among the responses I have seen here, What I have not seen is an concerted, focused effort at prevention. Every single one of you has the ability to help prevent violence and terrorism, you can help stop these violent threats from becoming reality. The right wing claims they are persecuted for things they say. The right wing claims their first amendment is being violated. They continue to threaten the prosperity of the US, the peace we have within our borders and the lives of American citizens. The violent rhetoric I see too often is not acceptable, there's no excuse for it and I've had enough. This is all being done under the guise of political speech. This is wrong and it's given them the false confidence to continue to be more vocal in their threats. This has gone on for too long. The potential for a serious terrorist incident happening is very high and it can happen soon. It may even directly affect you or someone you love. Sarah Palin's call for violence and civil war was the last straw for me, and it should be the last straw for all freedom loving, peaceful Americans. This kind of speech is not acceptable, it is not covered by the first amendment and it absolutely is a threat to life and freedom. LEAs, DAs, public safety officials and elected representatives are not special, they do not have superpowers and they are not extraordinarily heroic. They need the public to pressure them into doing the right thing. This is where you come in. You have the power to stop this. You can do something. All it takes is a little percerverance, a couple minutes and a belief that you can help make things better. This is what you can do. Contact your House Representative: https://www.house.gov/representatives/find-your-representative Contact your Senator: https://www.congress.gov/members/find-your-member Be specific in your concerns, provide links to the violent threats. Contact the FBI: https://tips.fbi.gov/home Give them the who what where when how and why. Again, be specific in your concerns. Contact the Department of Homeland Security: https://www.dhs.gov/see-something-say-something/how-to-report-suspicious-activity This will walk you through the steps on how to report these threats. Many states also have methods of reporting these crimes. Just do a Google on "report terrorism threats (insert your state here) Please, this is an urgent plea for you to do something, don't convince yourself it isn't worth your time or that nothing will come of it. If we don't do anything, then nothing will change.
