Death threats after shop owner reveals immigrant’s hiding spot
East Bay Times ^ | August 1, 2018 | Lori Rozsa

Frank Gonzalez has quietly operated his auto repair shop here since 1980. He employs his son and 13 others, working on cars for customers who have come to them for decades.

“We’ve never had any trouble,” said Gonzalez, 62.

That is, until this week. On social media, people he’s never met are calling his family Nazis, comparing them to the people who betrayed Anne Frank during World War II. In phone calls and emails, people threatened to kill Gonzalez, kill his family and firebomb his business.

Gonzalez and several of the shop employees are now carrying guns.


Good for you. Ironically Gonzalez is an immigrant but a legal one.

Too bad the Fee-eye guys aren’t chasing these dangerous anti-American radicals.

Apparently, the pee-pee papers are more important.

What does that paragon of integrity, Jim Acosta, think of this?

I’m sure the ACLU is on the case. Preparing to protect those who threatened Gonzalez and his family. SMFH.

FBI is looking for every Russian girl attending a gun show or prayer breakfast, given the dangers they pose to us.

So he was expected to HIDE a child from authorities, and now has the Brownshirts after him because he didn’t?

Is this where we are now?

The East Bay Times is our local rag here in Central Contra Costa County, California. So why is it carrying a Florida story? Answer: Just to stir up $hit here!

We are at war. Most folks on our side don’t even have a clue.

I noted the article posted says little about why or motives for the trouble. It seems to be baiting people to click on that intrusive site.

And it doesn’t matter what his sympathies are.

I just wrote a private message to a FReeper friend. Each day I wonder if we have seen the ultimate lunatic act on the part of some Leftist or another. Then the sun comes up and nope, the craziness is ratcheted up yet another notch. I just wonder when they are going to completely implode.

You still reading that rag. Gave that up ten years ago.

Now when the Lesher’s owned the paper it was worth reading, but not now.

Nah, I haven’t taken the COCO Times since Dean Lesher died. I go so far back here that I walked precincts in Concord for a Assembly candidate with Maggie Ryan, a single mom who at the time was knocking boots with Senator John Nedjedly. When Lesher’s wife died, changed her name to Margaret and married her.

I went on a tour of the Anne Frank House Museum years ago. I was shocked to learn that there were hundreds of "diaries" written during the occupation, with the intention of publishing them after the war. (to make money from their suffering). Anne's was the only one published, and it was chosen because it was the best written (limited need for editing).

The Nazis, Japanese, and Russians and all other enemies could only dream how America is being battled rather successfully.
