Death threats for some Florida Lawmakers who opposed the law today

[moobu2]

"Lawmakers who opposed the bill said they'd received death threats - and Sen. Frederica Wilson said she'd contacted authorities out of fear.

"I am afraid," she said on the Senate floor. "We're talking about the sanctity of life, and you're threatening my life. And I want to live for my children and my family."

Senate Minority Leader Les Miller said he'd asked his family to take precautions and had asked his mother's nursing home to make sure only family and friends were allowed in to see her."

5. They need to be rounded up under the Patriot Act and held

indefinitely. The legislators should insist.

13. Absolutely - I hope to see a pile of fundies in jail before long

They need to follow our laws or move to Pakistan or Saudi Arabia where violence against common sense is permitted.

14. Agreed

I have been hoping for such a test case....

However, at the end of the day, I would still resent the gubment for such patriot act style actions.

11. If....

If lawmakers and judges received death threats today from someone identifying themselves as a muslim, mad about the death of over 100,000 Iraqi's in the war in Iraq, the Terra alert christmas tree would flip to red and we'd have 24/7 media coverage of "America Under Seige".

12. You are correct.

I hope these threats are taken seriously, and something is done about the people making them.

8. Oh man, you know this is going to be a rough Easter weekend...

SOMETHING is going down, and someone is going to go down as well.

These crazies are likely to do most anything.

"Jesus loves me, that's no lie
If you don't believe that you must die"

There's a storm coming, and the re-thugs are going to be there fanning the flames once the winds start to blow.
