A man from Texas was sentenced this week for making violent threats against a U.S. lawmaker for several months, including telling her he would kill her and that he had a "contract" on her life.
What the actual fuck. He “doesn’t remember” making the rambling phone calls where he graphically threatens the lives of house members of color, because of his bipolar disorder and his PTSD, and when capitol police show up at his house to politely ask him to stop doing that, he offered to let them take his guns away and they said “No thank you, sir! You keep those bad boys!”
I hope, but don’t believe that he will get the help he needs while incarcerated.
