On Wednesday, August 16, Texas authorities announced that they had arrested 43-year-old Alvin woman, Abigail Jo Shry, for allegedly threatening federal Judge Tanya Chutkan. According to Newsweek, Shry threatened to kill Judge Chutkan since she is presiding over the trial of former President Donald Trump.
Abigail Jo Shry reportedly expressed that she is willing to harm anyone attempting to oppose Trump.
"If Trump doesn’t get elected in 2024, we are coming to kill you...You will be targeted personally, publicly, your family, all of it." Donald Trump has been indicted due to allegations that he attempted to interfere with the 2020 elections.
Abigail Jo Shry has been indicted for misdemeanor threat causing fear of imminent serious bodily injury. She is scheduled to appear for a bond hearing on September 13.
As per court documents, Magistrate Sam S. Sheldon noted that Abigail Jo Shry allegedly has a history of leveling death threats at politicians. In the past year, she had reportedly been charged four times for similar crimes, as she has been accused of threatening to commit acts of political violence. Sheldon did not disclose the specifics of the past accusations made against Shry.
In the recent filings, Abigal Jo Shry has specifically been accused of threatening not only Judge Chutkan, but also Texas Democrat Representative Sheila Jackson Lee. Texas authorities traced the threats back to Shry's Alvin home.
On August 5, officials spoke to her at her doorstep, after which she supposedly confessed to making the threats. In the comments she made, she also used racial slurs against the officials, both of whom are black.
The court documents noted that in her conversation with officers, Shry said she would not actively travel to Washington, DC, to attack Judge Chutkan. However, she added that if Sheila Lee came to Alvin, she could potentially be attacked.
Something very dramatic is going to happen. The Dems will pay for their treachery
No you did not.
Did she hold up a bloody severed head as she made this threat? Two-sided justice.
For every one of these, there are 20 antie fa types that threaten far worse stuff, and nothing ever happens.
Apparently, the story on her arrest and indictment did not include that however, her telephone call messages were transcripted, and they mention specific federal officials by name, and what she would do to them.
Since I would sense a level of false equivalency and whataboutism here, but in my case, I don’t prefer either of these extremes. One things for sure she effed around and found out… By calling, Judge Chutkan directly on the phone and the phone picked up her cell phone number in return. Play stupid games, won stupid prizes.
That’s quite an assertion, can you point me to a link or some other evidence to verify that?
human history teaches that there is only one course of action which will solve this.
sadly those who sit and do nothing and follow the train wreck will eventually end up in the train wreck.
We being peaceful for the most part are branded as nationalists, domestic terrorists, fascists, Nazis, white privileged, racist. Labeling is important to the coup and friends because it brands the opposition into isolation and freezes most in thier tracks. When you tell someone to shut up and sit down, eat your pudding or you wont get your meat, force feed thier mental illness on us all the only recourse they leave you is a fuse and a match and a reason for them to use martial law and a suspension of everything American
Mebbe so. But there will be more of these.
The other side has pushed this too far.
Rule number 1. If you are planning to commit a crime, do not tell anyone about it. Guess Noone told her.
Yes, but my point is that a lot worse was said about President Trump and NOTHING was done about that. While she SAID what she would do, afaik, she has done nothing to that end, not even prep. I tremble for the two-tiered application of the law and I tremble for the time, which is now, when speech and thoughts are no longer free.
Rule number 0, even superseding Rule 1.
Don’t commit a crime.
I doubt she had the means to carry any of this out, probably just non-aspirational. Sounds like a disordered individual drunk on their couch, yelling at the TV and not happy about what is happening. As for her reported words, seems to have a race issue thing going on. The loudest guy at the bar kind of thing.
Dumb move.
Memorize Posts 31 and 33.
That is close to the Sun Tzu rule, from “The Art of War”: “Never rattle a saber that you do not intend to use”.
To much easy info was left out, of the story, and Gun owners or Christians are the target.
Never bother to threaten
Stop trembling
