Joseph Sakran, a trauma surgeon at John Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, Maryland and a prominent advocate of anti-gun laws, this weekend took to Twitter saying he was threatened because of his activism. But the way he announced the alleged threat and a subsequent interview on the matter raises questions.

Gee, what ideology seems to produce fake hate crimes etc because the narrative needs to be sustained?

Fake crime by an over-dramatic anti-gun nut.

Ten bucks says it’s a hoax. If I had gotten something like that I would have immediately gone to the closest police station. The fact that it wasn’t reported to the police is telling...particularly given that he’s smart enough to know that filing a false police report is a crime.

Only an idiot MD would think to print an elaborate picture of a hand holding a gun with the threat printed out nicely.

Can anyone explain to me what the red circles/markings indicate? They don't match, from one picture to the other, and I couldn't find any explanation for them in the text of the article.

I had a blast on Twitter eviscerating this Hoaxer and the sycophants who bought it hook, line and sinker. Two days later I have yet to have a response from anyone that disputes my calling it a Hoax.

He posted a picture which of the so called “threat” under the Windshield Wiper of his Car. Yo could see the reflection of ceiling of his Garage in the photo.

Then he showed a separate photo of him holding the “threat” in his hand. He made the mistake of taking the photo before he placed it under the Windshield Wiper. The paper in his hand was pristine, while the (same) paper under the Wiper was wrinkled and dirty. OOPS...

Slight marks on the one under the windshield wiper, but not on the one he is holding in his hand. He took the picture holding it BEFORE he put it on the Car.

The reflection on the windshield shows the garage door in an up position and the ceiling of his garage. Unless they broke into his Garage to put it on his car, which didn’t happen, he is full of it.

Good odds that any tracking dots on the printout will lead back to the complainant.

Can’t speak for the red circles though.

I can’t say for sure it is fake, but I’m trying to figure out who would actually waste their time printing a stupid piece of paper, and go all the way to the guy’s house, just to put it under his wiper blade, rather than taping it to his door?

If I had gotten something like that, I would have thrown it in the recycling and gone on with my life. I’ve got a Governor threatening to come to my house and search it for guns if my neighbor doesn’t like me, and that seems a lot more serious of a threat.

In an update to the story, he said that he had taken it off and was going to throw it away, but later changed his mind, took the pictures in his house, and then took it to his garage and put it back on his car to take a picture of “what it looked like when he found it”.

Does it match the Story in his upcoming Book?

“It took Twitter about 14 seconds after he posted the image of the supposed threat to call him out on the fact that the photo was obviously taken in his garage. Now Dr. Sakran has deleted the tweets from his account without explanation.”

What serious 2A advocate would deliver this handsomely printed “threat”, ready-made for Dr. Goofball’s soap box?

That’s right.

No one.
