    A teacher’s ‘kill Kavanaugh’ tweet gets her placed on leave

    A teacher in Minnesota has been placed on paid leave after posting a threatening tweet about Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh.
    "So whose gonna take one for the team and kill Kavanaugh?” read the tweet, which was posted on Saturday, the day the Senate voted to confirm Kavanaugh, according to WCCO, a CBS affiliate in Minneapolis. The tweet and the account that posted it have since been deleted. The FBI and the local county sheriff’s department have said they are aware of the incident.
    “Over the weekend, the district has received a complaint regarding an employee,” Mark A. Zuzek, the superintendent of Intermediate School District #917 said in a statement. “The employee has been placed on paid administrative leave pending the outcome of the investigation.”

    Ok that is going too far. Politics are getting out of control. Reminds me of Sarah palins Crosshairs and Gifford. People need to take a breather. Too bad they gave her tweet so much public attention. People need to chillax on the violence.

    There is absolutely no similarity between that Tweet and Palin's campaign ads.


    It is ridiculous to even try to compare the two.

    Why too bad? Good Lord son, WFT are you saying? That after what you guys have done, rioting in the streets, screaming names and accusing Kavanaugh of vicious crimes, we should handle this quietly? Bullsh!t!!!
    She needs to dragged through the streets behind a beater Volkswagen, aired on TV.
    Now your side is threatening to kill a supreme court justice. Why shouldn't it be made public? You demand transparency, but really don't want it, at least not from YOUR side.
    We've had just about enough of this tomfoolery from you and your ilk.
    ......yeah, take one for the team............sorry-assed losers

    To protect the guilty, her name has not been released.

    Lol, "paid administrative leave". So she gets rewarded for this abhorrent behavior. Typical. Should have been summarily fired.

    Well I hope the investigation is quick and the taxpayers save some money when she is canned. The Professor from Georgetown "wishing 'miserable deaths' and castration on GOP senators" should be canned as well rather than being on research leave.

    The only thing that I know for sure and its because Liberals on the forum told me, is that its not the left that threatens and becomes violent, it is most certainly just Trump Supporters.

    A Scramble To Control Narrative Of Tucson Massacre

    https://www.npr.org/2011/01/12/13283...ucson-massacre

    Gun rights advocates and right-wing radio talkers have accused their critics of exploiting the massacre in Tucson, Ariz., for political gain.
    Firearms control activists have responded to the Saturday shooting by decrying the right's increasingly mainstream theme of "Second Amendment" solutions to "government tyranny"


    ... and Sarah Palin's online 2010 campaign map, which featured gun-sight cross hairs over targeted districts.
