Source: Raw Story
Fans of American Sniper Chris Kyle have threatened to rape and kill former RT anchor Abby Martin for criticizing the deceased Navy SEAL and creating a T-shirt they find offensive.
Some psychotic Chris Kyle fan just doxxed me & my familys personal information on a bunch of sniper forums. If anything happens to me or them you know who to blame. These are the real f*cking terrorists, she wrote on her Facebook page.
Martin had criticized Kyle in the past for describing Iraqis as savages in his book. She also described the American Sniper movie as dangerous propaganda that sanitizes a mass murdering psycho. But it was her shirt that appears to have set off a campaign of harassment against her.
This week, conservative websites posted a picture of Martin wearing a F*ck Chris Kyle shirt. She had uploaded a photo of the shirt to her Instagram account last week. One website, which incorrectly identified her as a liberal artist, called on readers to publicly shame her for her treasonous actions.

The reaction on social media was even more visceral. Users of Twitter and Facebook have mentioned raping and beheading her, threatened to murder her, told her to kill herself, and bombarded her with misogynistic insults. Addicting Info reported that one person called on American Sniper fans to put on our raping shoes and find this b*tch.
F*cking c*nt. How dare you disgrace his name like that. He gave his life so you can have yours. F*cking b*tch. Dont worry I know where you live thanks to your ip address. And dont worry Im a Marine, said Jamie Lugo in a message shared by Martin. So u wont see me coming. Im going to cause you pain beyond your imagination. He later added: Tic toc times running out.

(62,325 posts)be too stupid to know that by threatening her they way they have, they just proved her point.
Since they apparently know where she lives, I hope she has some kind of protection, those morons are dangerous.

(17,796 posts)hope she doesn't try to laugh off these....(honestly don't know what to call them). If they got the chance I have no doubt that they would carry out their threats.
ProfessorGAC
(64,865 posts)Not only did she get exposed to this nonsense, but she called them out on it. That's a pretty strong stance to take. No shrinking from the confrontation.
I like her for this.
sabrina 1
(62,325 posts)topics that our MSM media won't touch with a ten foot poll.
She's young, and extremely intelligent, does her homework too.
She should NOT take those threats lightly.
If our media was not owned by Corporations, journalists like Abby Martin would be sought out because of their diligent dedication to facts and actual news.
Instead most of our real journalists have to either outside the country or to Independent or Foreign media.
I would definitely be worried if I were in her position.
ProfessorGAC
(64,865 posts)And she's probably taking them seriously, and she's probably worried. Her own "if something happens to me. . . " statement suggests that.
But, she's not cowering over it either. That's pretty tough stuff, there.

(15,185 posts)They seem awfully easy to provoke. Try bringing up gun control or inoculations. Probably have the same inbred genetics as the yahweh or allah woreshippers.
Much as I think living in a land of freedoms, I think that attrition of "stupids" by lack of finding smart mates, is a good thing.

(5,018 posts)THis doesnt mean all people in the military are good or bad or anything or all pentagon either.
It means we have fucked over lots of people in lots of places, and when we refer to human beings as savages, like this prick did and Geller is doing now, we deserve negative attention.

(30,151 posts)geek tragedy
(68,868 posts)was to chime in your agreement with the position held by the guys threatening to rape her, i.e. "leave American Sniper/Chris Kyle aloooooone!"
you didn't have anything to say about the actual rape threats and harassment, which is the only important aspect of the story
No criticism of the perps, only the victim.
Pretty obvious, actually.

(30,151 posts)I was commenting on her opinion of the movie which I disagree with...
You can spin whatever you want out of it though! If you are doing it with clay I have a kiln for sale (seriously, need the fucking thing out of my garage )
sabrina 1
(62,325 posts)killers like him. And clearly she was right, since she has attracted some of them simply by telling the truth.
Have you seen anything on the MSM criticizing our Foreign Policies and producing killers like this, some have committed suicide unable to deal with what they were asked to do in that quagmire?
Just glancing at the coverage of this Sniper, all I saw was reverence for what should surely not be condoned in any civilized society.

(480 posts)Nothing about my life or my freedoms has ever been anywhere near Iraq or Afghanistan. The US is there to secure profits for the oil industry and we the people are picking up the tab. This is national policy bought and paid for through the institutionalized corruption of our election system. My freedoms? Kiss my ass.

(37,428 posts)...from their worries about their penises. There's an undertone of rape-as-function-check here that I don't believe is entirely coincidental.
No one anywhere is threatened by a t-shirt dissing the deceased, but a woman doing so is doubly intolerable, so some dumbass somewhere was probably bound to whip out his metaphorical dick to prove...whatever it is a terroristic threat proves.
Sad people.

(3,180 posts)Chris Kyle hadn't of joined up we wouldn't have went to Iraq?
Hard to believe it's all his fault.
NotHardly
(1,062 posts)Most states in the US have laws (dating back to the 1950s) prohibiting "terroristic threats" (meaning those things said meant to alarm, put in fear, cause terror in the person or persons against whom the threat is lobbed) ... that includes FEDERAL LAW too. As such, those threatening to do so, over a medium of exchange could be found and charged with a felony.
One may have freedom of speech, but speech has consequences for the speaker ... always.

(18,124 posts)as exemplified by their reaction to a person exercising her free speech rights, are the base of the RW fox snooze Party. This kyle guy didn't do anything for me by dying at a gun lodge at the hands of another Marine. Period. This country has values that are pretty screwed up.

(16,067 posts)I love how these idiots believe that Kyle died protecting our freedoms! No, he died on a firing range in Texas because he was arrogant!
You want to talk about someone who is dishonoring his memory, then let's talk about his wife who has refused to honor the promise he made to the men in his unit. Kyle promised to help them with the proceeds from his book, and that promise was buried with him!!!

From the time the rednecks landed on our shores, they have been willing whores for the powerful. That is there
history. They supported the oppressive British Monarch via North Ireland. They brutally kept slaves in line for the master.
Today, they vote to keep the powerful in charge.
