Fulton County D.A. receives racist threats as charging decision against Trump looms
Monday marks the opening of the three-week window Fani Willis set for a potential decision on whether former President Donald Trump should face charges over his alleged conduct after the 2020 election.
District Attorney Fani Willis warned Fulton County commissioners this weekend they should "stay alert" over the next month, according to emails obtained by CBS News.
She pointed to a threatening email she received last week with a subject line reading, "Fani Willis = Corrupt N*****." The body of the email said, "You are going to fail, you Jim Crow Democrat whore."
Willis said the message was "pretty typical" of what her office has been receiving and said she is aware of "equally ignorant voicemails" that have come into the county office and to her own office. She said she expects more over the next month. The Atlanta Journal-Constitution first reported Wills' warning to the county commissioners.
Wait... Jim Crow? How does that make sense...
Which is pretty on brand for ignorant racism if we're gonna be honest.
They see their GEOTUS being held accountable for his crimes as a transgression against their race, and all the "wokeness" as just as much of a civil rights issue as when people were subjugated based on the color of their skin. Add in the fact that the Democrats were the racist party 100+ years ago, and you get the tortured logic that Democrats now are just as bad as they were then.
We're not exactly dealing with geniuses.
That confused me as well.
Yeah, this is why I don't like being civil with right wing individuals.
Exactly. Tolerance is a two way street. It is not a doormat to do whatever the fuck you want with my rights and I have to take it
Yes I'm sure that will make her see the error of her ways
Jeez what a strong woman
Aren't there any laws in the US that threats against a government official are a crime or felony? Make the police earn their pay and send them after the culprits.
As if the cops weren't either among these assholes or at least on their side.
Yes. And it's likely that the police and/or FBI are investigating. But, this isn't a TV show. Investigations take time and there is no magic that let's the police discover the sender withinthe first 40 minutes to allow another 10 for an overly dramatic court room examination.
Real life is messy, and it's quite possible that there just isn't enough evidence to locate the sender. Let alone actually prosecute them. Most crimes in the US have really low closure rates. Honestly, I'd be surprised if they mange to locate the sender.
I'm well aware that they won't catch all, or anyone in the short time frame. But whoever they take off the road is an improvement for society. Even if it takes months.
The internet never forgets. Neither does Ms Willis. Most of these trolls will FA and FO when they order takeout and discover the DoorDashers wearing a badge and an warrant
Since a former president is involved seems like she should be deserving of federal protection.
