John Gorham announced he had checked into the hospital and would “not be returning to the company.”

Why?

“Protected class” doesn’t mean “protected from prosecution”. Not legally, anyway.

If he is being protected, he’s being protected by the fiat of the local prosecutors. However, I believe extortion is a federal crime if the demand is transmitted across a computer system, as it was in this case. So federal prosecutors could step in any time they please, if we actually had a Justice Department interested in prosecuting anyone besides conservatives.

I am old enough to remember when a person used the word TRANNIE-—they were referring to the transmission in a vehicle.

Why are you calling the man “she”? It was born with a frank ‘n beans.

she approached the Gorhams for money, saying she planned to take the story public.

Blackmail, anyone?

Is it a felony? (if you don't have a "Get Out of Jail Free" card or two)

Most states treat blackmail as a type of extortion or coercion, which involves threats of violence or other harm in order to compel a person to do something. Blackmail is generally classified as a felony, which could result in multi-year prison sentences and large fines.

Dk...maybe plausible cover of a “nervous condition” for the public sin of confronting a black trannie making inciting texts about destroying your business?

Here in central Kentucky, if you call someone a “Trannie” or “Transy,” it doesn’t refer to sexual orientation. It means the person in question went to our oldest college, Transylvania University!

Congratulations on your 1000th, nwrep ... notwithstanding that you have angered this morning’s admin-mod cop. How will you ever repent for your overt mis-demeanor you little ol’ rule-breaker you? Cheers!

Thanks. Not sure why the AdMod is upset. I put this in Front Page because it was a story on the front page of a major metropolitan newspaper here in Oregon, and thought it belonged on the front page.

Cheers.

Us too. We left PDX and headed to TX. We were just so sick of Portland/ I-5 corridor politics. But they do have some great restaurants.

These restaurants were his life’s work. He must have spent years working hard to build them up. Probably is a good liberal. Now all ruined by a crazy trans sicko person. What a shame.

More proof that miserable people want others to be miserable too. Misery loves company.

So, to hoist the liberal creepozoids on their own petard, shall we now change the name of every city, county that starts with ‘San’ or ‘Santa’ (San Francisco, San Diego, Santa Barbara, etc.)? After all, evil religious people named these places after evil Christian saints. The list of micro and macro aggressions is endless: Christian, white supremacy, white privilege, Western culture, and on and on.
