Wisconsin Gov. Walker reveals violence, death threats in upcoming autobiography
FOX News ^ | November 12, 2013 | By Joseph Weber

Posted on 11/12/2013 3:21:19 PM PST by Oldeconomybuyer

Protesters angry with Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker's effort to break Big Labor’s financial hold on the state in 2011 at one point blocked his exit from a manufacturing plant, then surrounded his police cruiser while “beating on the windows and rocking the vehicle.”

The episode is one of several violent threats that the Republican governor and his family have faced, and which are detailed in his upcoming book “Unintimidated: A Governor’s Story and a Nation’s Challenge."

However, the most unnerving incidents for Walker appeared to be the death threats -- specifically one in which the sender wrote about following his children to school, the street on which the Walkers lived and family members being potential targets.

At least one menacing letter was directed at Walker’s wife, Tonette, and threatened to “gut her like a deer,” which combined with the others resulted in heavy police security.

The Left is violent and evil.

But - good grief! - this piece appears to have been written by a 3rd grader.

That would be the answer to the question, “Why does anybody NEED a 30 round magazine?”

A 30 round magazine? Won't say how many, but I have more than a 30 round magazine.....

Because we know lieberals aren't peaceful loving people when they perceive their freeloading existence being threatened....

Right now, she is the clear favorite and the GOP-e is going to do everything possible to put Christie on the top of the ticket in the glorious tradition of Dole, McCain and Romney.

Yes, because they don't want to win! They can't handle the truth!

I swear Rove and the other “GOP consultants” are actually on the DNC payroll.

Thanks Oldeconomybuyer.
At least one menacing letter was directed at Walker’s wife, Tonette, and threatened to “gut her like a deer,” which combined with the others resulted in heavy police security.

This presumes that if it’s ok to have ONE, it’s ok to have many.

How would you like to have 20 five round mags instead?

Not a presumption, 30 rd mags are perfectly legal.

20 five rd mags instead? No thanks.

Are you intentionally missing my point?

I was making the case FOR “hi capacity mags”.

Just because I used the singular, in no way suggests ONE as a limit.

So, when you unnecessarily emphasized many, I teased back with the notion that “many” isn’t worth much, if the capacity is limited.

“Perfectly legal”, not everywhere....30 rd mags can no longer be sold in Colorado. (existing mags are grandfathered)

There can belegitimate reasons a person wouldn’t need a 30 round magazine. For instance, what if his weapon is belt fed?
