    Meh, not much of a death threat. I've seen worse on here.

    It was stupid to say, I guess technically its a “threat” or threatening, but I think calling it a death is a bit of a stretch...

    This is not appropriate for an elected official. Excusing it is enabling it.

    so you think it's appropriate for a voted in congressman to make those sort of comments? Let's just ignore it and laugh it off eh?

    What if this leads to some crackpot shooting O'rourke? Farfetched? Not in todays society.

    I agree it's not appropriate.

    Not excusing it.

    I just don't think it meets the legal definition of a death threat.

    Yeah
    I don’t like the comment either, it’s provoking. Unfortunately that’s where the two parties are at, seems it easier to blast each other rather than look for common ground.
    A young person wearing a “youth for Christ Shirt” gets threatened, screamed at and touched, downtown Pdx, that’s the culture these two sides are breeding. And it’s grtting bad in the schools too according to teacher friends.

    I know, I can't believe @Natebishop3 is still allowed to roam the pages of this forum.

    um, doesn't sound like a threat.
    Seems more like a statement of fact. Perhaps a reminder.

    Quite obviously not a serious threat. Stupid article with a misleading headline.

    Um...yeah, pretty much.

    Pissing and moaning about trivial shit contributes nothing to society.
