After controversial Charlie Kirk post, Ohio councilman in hiding

[Jilly_in_VA]

A local northern Ohio councilman says he and his family have gone into hiding at the advice of federal officials after getting more than 500 threats over his Facebook post criticizing Charlie Kirk.

John Impellizzeri told the USA Today Network's Akron Beacon Journal that he's in fear for his life after his post following the conservative leader's assassination was shared nationwide by "Libs of TikTok" and other right-wing groups.

The threats escalated after the post was shared on X on Sept. 12 by Stephen Miller, the Trump administration's deputy chief of staff for policy.

"I'm in physical hiding for fear for my life," Impellizzeri said. "The police department is getting death threats."

1. And if he gets murdered for saying something "controversial", the same people who are so up in arms about

people allegedly "celebrating" Charlie's death will in turn celebrate his murder and say it was well deserved. And they won't be getting fired for it either.

3. Absolutely right!

They say that Kirk was killed for exercising his free speech, but they want to see people get fired for exercising theirs. Typical RW fundy Christian hypocrisy.

2. At this point in time.....

I would not trust the feds..

Hopefully the police are OK.

And who are the violent ones?

The Right.

4. Once again, it ain't the libs causing this shit.

But they’ll claim we somehow forced them to act this way.

5. Trump is advocating this violence by stating he doesn't care.

8. But have you seen all the trucks for his beautiful Predators' Patio?

It's just tremendous.

10. If I were the next President, that's the FIRST thing I'd have torn out.

And the beautiful green lawn restored.

Then I’d take all that cheesy gold swirly shit off the walls and the fireplace in those photos (in the Oval Office, I assume?).

And anything else he had installed to make himself feel like a king. OUT TO THE TRASH it’d go.

6. Yep, I'm in hiding at home after daring to repost some Instagram posts about Charlie Kirk.

Hiding from my own family. To them just saying anything non worshipping about Ssint Charlie is celebrating and heinous. My own atheist son was espousing Conservatism and family values so much that I asked "So you've been going to church a lot lately?" Oops.

9. "Missed you in Sunday school last week."

An often-heard public humiliation spoken to me as a child by Southern Baptist adults. Off-topic, I know, but ?

[txwhitedove]

11. I know he ls aetheist, don't care, already know he's a very moral man who used to be Democractic

leaning. I don't go to church either. He was talking so strangely. This Charlie Kirk murder got them all riled up and buying Trump's bullshit to the point they were mad at mom/grandma who is such an empathic pacifist I don't like the death penalty,

13. Thank you for being here, txwhitedove.

I appreciate you.

[calimary]

14. Maybe it'll help to focus on your "DU family" instead.

We’re with you! And as I think Skittles once said, “someone’s always here.”

[txwhitedove]

15. Yes indeed, that's what I'm doing. DU has been my port in the storm for almost 20 years.

7. Mr. Impellizzeri likely made the mistake of expressing truth.

Truth is considered hate speech by the right, so they never use it themselves.

12. christo-fascists egged on by those 6 hate-slugs on the SC

Hope we can turn things around. These mf'ers are committed.

[Bluetus]

16. Why isn't Stephen Miller under arrest for making death threats?

And this just points out the fact that this killing was part of the Civil War WITHIN the Guardians of Pedophiles Party (GOP). The Nazi wing is going after the Groyper wing while the Christ-fascist wing tries to carry on its own grift.

[yellow dahlia]

17. And who are the violent terrorists?

[Jilly_in_VA]

18. A bunch of Nazi keyboard warriors

hiding behind their screens, mostly. Except for lizard people like Chaya Reichik ("Libs" of TikTok) and Laura Loomer.
