(8,753 posts)Evidence and traced? Unlike social media death threats, a letter should be allowed into court as physical evidence to prosecute. Is there not a law adsimst death threats. If I sent a letter to Dump threatening to MAGA by ending him, I would be in custody within a day. I know, justice for us is a completely different rule.

(81,318 posts)Making threats through the US mail.
Its one thing if theyre just name-calling. That just qualifies as nuisance stuff. But if there are actual or insinuated threats, not a lawyer here but seems to me thats evidence and should be turned over to authorities. Preferably after copies are made so the evidence cant be destroyed or otherwise made to go away.

(47,501 posts)though harmless, but a small percentage could be followed by some kind of violent action to person or property. Having those letters could help law enforcement find the culprit. Meanwhile, even if the threats aren't acted upon, if they are hostile and intimidating, the person could be held accountable in a court of law. Best not to let such people get off easily. If they have to face some kind of consequences, they hopefully will be less likely to do it again.

But if I were her I would keep them in a box. They may turn out to be evidence.

(370 posts)I am stunned that anyone would send hate mail to Col Vindman...absolutely stunned and disgusted with how low so many people have fallen.. I think there are millions that would gladly anoint Trump as dictator for life...

And, by the way, thank you for serving.

(6,890 posts)I love him. I love his brother.
I would love to tell them so to their faces. Failing that, by mail directly. MAGAts make that impossible.
They won't be satisfied until they have taken ALL the joy out of EVERYONE's lives.
