An Emmy Award-winning journalist at a Denver television station has quit her job after receiving death threats, Mediaite reports.
Heidi Hemmat explained her departure from KDVR Fox 31 in a letter posted to her website Thursday.
In a piece titled, Why I left KDVR and TV news, Hemmat details the downright terrifying reason for her decision.

A Conservative White Christian Male would have been ID'd in the first paragraph, and Trump would have been in the headline.
Is Heidi a snowflake?
He owned “American Vacuum, Sewing and Typewriter”. Making or selling typewriters doesn’t seem to be a good business model.
“Is Heidi a snowflake?”
NO!
The appearance is this: Her network didn’t offer any support at all, or even request a full explanation as to why she was leaving. They just wilted, folded to the pressures of looking PC.
Once the reporter realized she was on her own, and the network was not going to stand by her, it was wise for her to just leave the position. That was hard to do, because she had her heart and soul into that job, advocating for the consumer. I’ve met people like her before. They are willing to take many risks, but we all have a point of saying ‘enough, it’s not worth any more of my life.”
Don't know, do know it's difficult to pro actively defend yourself from any leftie, prog, doper, protected class, or Muzzie in Colorado, everybody government and media is in the tank for 'em.
Agreed.
Colorado ping.
Keep a good record.
Carry a nice little .38.
Snowflake—yeah, I’d say to..
Her former boss was a total dirtbag for not taking the threats against her life seriously.
A good issue for Hannity to address.
Getting a 404 Error on that link.
Here’s another ...

“KDVR reporter had investigated a local businessman over alleged fraud
She claims he threatened her life after consumer fraud charges were laid”
“Hemmat, who has won six Emmy awards, claims to have received ‘downright terrifying’ threats from a businessman she investigated at length in 2015 over his alleged dumping of customers’ documents. “
“’Shortly after he learned about the charges against him, that were a direct result of me, I got a call from his psychiatrist.
‘She told me he was ‘homicidal’ and was planning to kill me. The psychiatrist thought the threat was so credible, she broke HPPA laws (the laws that protect medical records of psychos, such as the theater shooter - James Holmes) to warn me.’ “
Thanks. I think the link at the Daily Mail did a good job of reporting the story.
No surprise, someone noticed that they named a Muzzie criminal.
Psychiatrist had a “duty to warn” if a patient is making a credible threat to kill someone. There are several cases in which Privacy/Confidentiality must be broken. Homicidal ideation with a plan to carry it out is the one time a shrink must contact an individual not just an enforcement agency, I believe.
Link is bad
No, the psych didn’t break HIPAA laws. Any credible threat of homicide or suicide MUST be reported, as per HIPAA.
Bad link, have a better one?
