It seems to me that if someone threatens you with death for your opinion, are they not risking the same fate? At the very least I think a person can do time for a death threat. The closer the threat gets, the closer you get to a right to self defense.

The left engages in all these outrageous behaviors and the thing that concerns me is average Americans don’t assemble in anger against these miscreants.

Same goes for “apologizing” because someone insulted Mohammed. As an American citizen my God given right is to say whatever I damn please. Don’t go apologizing for Free Speech. And damn well don’t start talking about executing me for it!

Thank you. I was thinking the same thing, but having a hard time articulating it into words. Why aren’t we countering these bastards with the same level of threats if they attempt to silence or jail us or worse. They need to know that they will be met with force if they try any of their BS.

In the parts I came from, openly discussing killing or kidnapping someone was a good way to get your own lamp blown out if they heard about it. People are funny that way,,,

That's just the way I see it. However, the enviro-whacko commies have already gone far beyond threats. Many of them are entrenched in government agencies that are stealing land, shutting down businesses, destroying jobs, fining people for bogus reasons, and otherwise causing real harm to productive citizens.
