1. But the 2nd half of the 2nd Amendment is more important than public safety and health.

So too bad.

A Texas man has been charged in federal court with making threats to former Baltimore health commissioner Dr. Leana Wen over her support of COVID-19 vaccines.

An indictment against Scott Eli Harris, 51, was unsealed Tuesday in Maryland U.S. District Court, charging Harris with using a cellphone to send threatening messages to Wen in July.

“Never going to take your wonder drug. My 12-gauge promises I won’t,” Harris allegedly wrote. “I’m a 5th generation U.S. Army veteran and a sniper. I can’t wait for the shooting to start.”

He also allegedly used racial slurs and other offensive language against Wen, who was born in China. Wen regularly appears on CNN as a medical analyst. She could not immediately be reached for comment.

The indictment was handed up on Sept. 29, and unsealed Tuesday after Harris was arrested in Texas, where he will have his initial appearance. No attorney was listed in court records.

3. How Can All These Tools Be Snipers?

Getting into sniper school is very hard.
Getting through it is harder. How many ex-military snipers are there.
Geez, I used a Springfield 1903 with no scope and hit a 6" target at 100 yards. That doesn't make me a sniper.
Besides, he's 51.
What major skirmish would he have seen action in, with his "unparalleled" shooting skills?
I say the guy is also a liar.

13. A sniper with a shotgun. Okay.

[dchill]

17. Exactly this!

[Grokenstein]

14. He's a (video game) sniper.

THIS is how messed up humans are: TESTICLE SHOT MONTAGE.

[haele]

19. Maybe Gulf War 1. Or arming the Contras will Ollie.

Snipers weren't used a lot in Gulf War 1, though.

[Mysterian]

20. A lot of phony vets and rear-echelon vets

will know better than to claim they were Rangers or Seals, but will claim they were "snipers" because they think that is some hot shit.

[LeftInTX]

21. He has a drug possession record from 1995 and an arrest from 2001

He would have graduated from HS in 1989.

I'm calling BS on the sniper stuff...

I obtained the 1995 info from one of those subscription services.

4. He may be a "sniper"...but he is a ....VERY STUPID SNIPER"...so stupid that he doesn't know that

it is illegal to write letters like this..He will have some time to think about it..

[dalton99a]

5. And he sent them from his cellphone

Very, very smart

[Omnipresent]

8. So your telling me, that he isn't a political genius...

Like the Washington crowd on Jan 6th?

[louis-t]

6. They love killing people.

No other explanation.

[Probatim]

10. They love the idea of killing people - especially unarmed people. More so for minorities and women.

My guess is that for a lot of these folks (and me too), the shitting starts when the shooting starts.

[Prof. Toru Tanaka]

16. "The shitting starts when the shooting starts."

Very catchy! And very true, also.

Threatening a woman who is trying to simply do her job and help fellow citizens...this guy is a gutless creep and he might end up shitting himself in prison if he tries to play tough guy with a hardened con with nothing to lose.

I agree with other posters that this guy is likely a big-time liar and wannabe tough guy who is as stupid as the day is long.

11. Justin was just reporting that threat

The jerk’s name is Scott Eli Harris 🐀

[spanone]

12. read it wrong 😕

[rockfordfile]

9. Now he's just a 51yr old un-American pos arrested.

[NBachers]

15. A week of voluntary non-reporting home confinement will really punish him!

[dchill]

18. Sniper or not, he's made a name for himself now...

Idiot.
