TKC QUESTION: FREE SPEECH OR FACEBOOK THREAT AGAINST ANTI-GUN POLITICO??? KANSAS CIVIL AIR PATROL DUDE CLOWNS SOCIAL JUSTICE WARRIORS AFTER WRITING 'THAT B*TCH SHOULD SWING FROM A TREE' ON FACEBOOK!!!



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 . . .

UPDATE: THE DUDE IN QUESTION REPORTEDLY RESIGNED SO I GUESS HE MIGHT REGRET IT AFTER ALL . . .

  3. I disagree with him, but have to admire his refusal to apologize for speaking his mind. We need more of that kind of backbone.

  5. t wasn't a threat - period! He did not recommend anything. CJ does not know if he was calling for anyone's death or not. This is just a perfect example of the God Damn wannabe drama queens in the press trying to spin shit into gold. Look at the guy's quote and actually show me where there is a threat.

  6. What a nut. Scary to think someone like that is out there in a role with the public in any capacity. Even if he isn't dangerous, he could show a little humility. There is such a thing as respect for other human beings.

  7. We need another protest!

  8. So, "should be swinging from a tree" is impolite and gives his opposition glee to label him an angry white man. Still, he's made no direct threat. Was he implying she's a simpleton primate and should be swinging branch to branch? It's paltry compared to Madonna's declaration that she's thought an awful lot about blowing up the White House!

  9. So if someone says the inbred asshole should be stabbed repeatedly until he bleeds out, that would be OK? Not a direct threat, and certainly not Madonna. That's the kind of discourse we seek to normalize when someone disagrees with our views?

  10. He resigned. Story is over. He should do the right thing an apologize.
