Let's start this conversation by reminding readers that politicos only care about their own safety and promotional opportunities on social media and this Overland Park police report is probably a waste of time considering all the much nastier stuff out there . . .
Still . . .
The latest revelation in this case offers another reason why social media is mostly a waste of time for people who aren't selling something . . .
CJ Online: Kansas Civil Air Patrol officer calls for death of GOP legislator
Deets and money line . . .
The Kansas man who recommended Rep. Stephanie Clayton “swing from a tree” for introducing a bill to prohibit carrying concealed handguns on college and university campuses serves as a lieutenant colonel in the state’s Civil Air Patrol.
Jonathan Holder, commander of a squadron based at a Kansas National Guard Armory in Emporia, said he was offended that the Overland Park Republican proposed legislation that would undermine his constitutional rights . . .
Holder declined Monday to be interviewed at length about his perspective on Clayton’s attempt to amend the concealed carry law. In a Facebook post, however, Holder was unapologetic about his choice of words.
“I stand by what I said and frankly don’t care who doesn’t like it,” Holder said. “So, go ahead and report me, deport me, unfriend me, block me or demand that the Grand Poobah of the Exalted Order of the Mysterious Rite of the Care Bears remove me from my position as Exalted Honcho of Lodge No. BR-549.”
Clayton said she contacted the Overland Park Police Department and the Capitol Police about Holder’s commentary on social media. She interpreted his statements as a potential threat . . .
Final takeaway from this Kansas dude . . .
He says that the only people who would be offended are “intolerant social justice warriors who believe free speech only applies to their way of thinking.”
He also jumps through some pretty impressive hoops to talk about defending his constitutional rights and holding politicos accountable which might be valid IF HE DIDN'T PRECEDE THE REMARK BY CALLING HER A B*TCH. Which is just kinda vulgar, not that clever and makes it seem like this is just another angry old dude keyboard warrior in his underwear playing tough guy on the Intertubes.
Note . . . There will be a public forum on this tonight that's totally not as fun as arguing with people and losing friends on FB.
But again . . . There are far worse threats circulating online and JoCo shock over tough talk from a pumped up boy scout who lacks impulse control reveals that locals are far too plugged into mobile phone drama.
You decide . . .
