The media and the left will literally do anything to run protection for NFL anthem kneelers.

That, unfortunately, includes some sick people literally threatening people for merely choosing to mock the kneelers.

According to the Worcester (Massachusetts) Telegram, a jeweler in nearby Sturbridge is receiving threats over a billboard that gently chides the kneelers with a joke ...

I'm with the jewelers. Everyone needs an advertising angle. And while all those brave SJWs can tweet threats from the safety of the bedroom they've lived in for 30 years, the 31-year old gal who runs the jewelery store is one tough cookie.

Interestingly, the "Reverend Laura Everett" who publicized the billboard as racist is a member of the United Church of Christ and is married to another woman.

Reverend Laura Everett, a "Christian" Pastor

A very tasteful ad.

Whomever thought that one up deserves a promotion or a raise or both.

The left has traded their sense of humor for an enhanced sense of offense.

I think it’s a cute ad. “Kneeling as a statement” has been mainstreamed. It’s nothing sacred. On the other hand, I was surprised a vendor took that risk. It will probably come down soon, or some unemployable Dodo Bird will try to destroy it.
I say ‘Lighten up!’, no pun intended.

This is why conservatives need to get off their fat asses and elect a pro-2nd amendment, constitutional sheriff in their counties. This sheriff has the legal and armed muscle to investigate and arrest the Marxist goons making threats. After these Marxist goons get three to five years in state prison, the threats will end.

This is particularly interesting because the ad is about a marriage proposal, love.

More of the same type threats and bullying from the denizens of safe spaces, in order to gang up and punish those with "wrong thinking". Is this not the same element that demands that "Love Wins", "Love Trumps Hate"?

In this day and age, truth (and kindness and love) will get you killed.

Matthew 24

9 Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake.
10 And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another.
11 And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.
12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.
13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.
14 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.

The good news (gospel) of the kingdom is that those who endure through all of this - never foresaking the love in their hearts - will be saved. Pretty basic concept.

Holding to the character of a gentle, loving person (the nature of Christ) in spite of the iniquity all around, or reverting to the nature of a savage predatory beast [to retaliate or whatever]...

Chose wisely folks, don't take on the mark (character) of a beast. Perhaps many don't see the times because we are right in the middle of it.

Love really does win. The Redemption message is coming straight from the haters themselves who pervert words to their opposite meanings. It's how curses are turned into blessings.

In Hebrew, the word knee and the word blessing are closely intertwined, being of the same root/concept.

There’s a good one with the Nike sweatshops, too.

I respect Scott Adams for addressing this. It is great for getting attention, but they’re utterly failing to DO good with the plan. OK, we protested, so how do you address “black violence” or “police brutality”? Not with “we demand data collection so we can identify solutions”. Not “rehabilitative justice” or amnesty.

No, he tells kids to 99.99% literally screw up their lives by just doing sports and risking safety and death, go stay in the high-crime ghetto and hope you do nearly as good as the guy in the ad.

Kids jumping skateboards on rails doesn’t keep them out of trouble, prepare them for employment or make communities less poor.

This story's been carried for a couple of days on the local Boston Fox affiliate.I don't watch the other local stations (or read the Globe) but I bet they're leaving this one alone.

Up in Massivetwoshits, the sheriff’s have pretty much no law enforcement powers. They act as bailiffs, and transport prisoners, and maybe serve court orders
