A Texas woman has been charged with threatening the life of the federal judge overseeing Donald Trump’s election-interference case, telling her, “If Trump doesn’t get elected in 2024, we are coming to kill you. So, tread lightly, removed.”
Abigail Jo Shry is accused of calling Judge Tanya Chutkan’s chambers on August 5 and leaving a voice-mail that began with, “Hey, you stupid slave n- - - - -,” according to court papers. Shry continued by saying, “You are in our sights. We want to kill you,” saying that Chutkan and her family will be “targeted personally, publicly.”
Shry then referenced Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee of Houston, who is also Black, adding that “we want to kill” her too.
Homeland Security agents visited Shry’s home days later for questioning after connecting the phone number used to make the call to her. According to the criminal complaint, Shry admitted to making the call to the agents and indicated that she had no plans to travel to Washington, D.C., or Houston to commit any attack. However, Shry reportedly added that the agents would need to “worry” if Lee traveled to Alvin, where she lives. During a court appearance, she was denied bail and ordered to be held in custody for at least a month, according to the New York Times.
What’s terrifying to me is how grown adults just follow this persons words in cult like behaviour. If someone I thought highly of was telling me to attack people I’d think they’re insane.
I can understand people who are not mentally well off being taken advantage of or swayed easily but that’s nowhere near the amount of his cult who happily follow what he says or eat it all up just to be hateful.
