Georgia Sheriff Says MAGA Freaks Threatening To Kill Election Workers Isn't A Crime

Election workers in Georgia are facing an unprecedented number of threats from Trump supporters, but the local sheriff says that these threats of death and violence aren't actually crimes. Threatening speech is actually not protected by the First Amendment, which means that these threats are actually criminal acts, but right wing cops don't want to have to prosecute their fellow Trump supporters.

Ever since Donald Trump began claiming that the 2020 election was stolen from him, even though it was not election workers across the country have been subjected to countless death threats from Donald Trump's supporters. And as we inch closer and closer to election season this year, the death threats and other threats are coming fast and furious. And according to a new report, there is one small county in Georgia where the local sheriff tells us that death threats ain't against the law, and the sheriff's office is refusing to investigate the death threats being lobbed at their own election workers by Donald Trump's supporters. Recently, Stateline did a story on, uh, voter registration director of Douglas County, Milton Kidd, and Milton Kidd, a black man, shared with Stateline some of the threats, both just general threats and actual death threats that he's received. Uh, one of them in an email he received said, Milton Kidd is a nasty N word living on tax money. Like the scum, he is living on tax money, like a piece of low IQ n word. Then S word. Another one, a voicemail he received said this. I don't know if you're aware of Milton, but the American people have set a precedent for what they do to effing tyrants and oppressors who occupy government office. Yep. Back in the 17 hundreds they were called the British, and the effing American people got so fed up with the effing Bri, British being, kinda like you. And then they just effing killed all the effing British. Um, okay, well first of all that that's, that's actually not how that happened at all. Go back to school. But that one specifically did say, you know, death. So that is considered a death threat in the eyes of the law. But unfortunately the law in Douglas County, Georgia, uh, captain Trent Wilson of the Douglas County Sheriff's Office, well, captain Trent Wilson, who also happens to be a black man, says that these death threats are absolutely not illegal. Here's what Captain Trent Wilson, again of the Douglas County Sheriff's Office had to say it was very distasteful, but just because they're distasteful don't mean they're criminal. Look, I'm a black man, so we don't like to be called a n word, but calling someone a n word is not a crime. Okay? Sure. I mean, but we're not, we're, we're not talking about prosecuting people for calling this man the N word and other election workers. 'cause it's not just Mr. Kidd here that's getting the threats. Um, the death threats are in fact illegal. And I can't believe I'm actually having to tell this to a sheriff, but you are not allowed under the law of the United States of America to issue a direct threat of violence or other physical harm up to and including death against another Citizen here in the United States that in fact is a felony no matter where you go in this country. So you Captain Trent Wilson sitting there saying like, it ain't illegal. F Yeah, it is. Let me read you this, just so everybody's aware. Threats of violence are broadly categorized as expressions or actions that reasonably cause fear of physical harm or danger to another person in the legal arena. These threats can manifest in various forms, including verbal statements, written communication, gestures, or even symbolic acts that convey a clear intention to cause harm or instill fear, which is what these people are doing to Mr. Kidd. It continues. One crucial element in determining what constitutes threats of violence for a criminal charge is the presence of intent. Now, prosecutors must establish that the alleged threat was made with the purpose of causing fear or harm to the recipient. This requirement underscores the importance of considering the context in which the threat was made and the perceived intention behind the words or actions.
