84 year old Arlington woman who wrote letter critical of Trumpenführer gets a threat from the KKK

[47of74]

They're coming out of the woodwork now;

An Arlington woman who wrote a letter to the Boston Globe denouncing Donald J. Trump’s initial reluctance to disavow a former Ku Klux Klan leader said she received a copy of the KKK’s symbol in the mail.

Louise Mayerson, 84, who left her native Austria as a child when her family fled the Nazis, said she received an aonmyous envelope in the mail shortly after her letter to the editor was published in the Globe on March 2.

In her letter, Mayerson described herself as “an Austrian refugee from the time of Hitler” and said the Republican presidential frontrunner’s “failure to immediately repudiate [former Klan leader David] Duke chilled my blood.”

Days later, Mayerson said, she received an envelop containing a copy of the KKK symbol that featured a square white cross set against a red backrop. The envelope was postmarked from Boston, she said.

Here's her original letter, and a follow up letter she wrote a few days later;



Fuck Trump and fuck whoever mailed that threat to that brave woman.

1. Howie Carr

yup

[Person 2713]

2. Emboldened bullies

[Initech]

3. Fuck Trumpenfuror and fuck white supremacists.

4. @&%#€

F*cking Klan. I wish they'd all live on the Moon.

5. Nah, I wouldn't want to make space into a dumping ground for asswipes.

7. +1 million

9. Or OGLE-2005-BLG-390Lb

Which is over 20,000 LY away. Or plop them somewhere in the galaxy GN-z11 (32 billion light-years from Earth).

[SFnomad]

14. GN-z11 is only 13.4 billion light-years from us

But yeah, we get your point.

The Big Bang was 13.8 billion years ago, so nothing could be more than 13.8 billion light-years away.

[sakabatou]

15. And yet the edge of the visible universe is 45 billion light years away.

Space is weird.

19. Wouldn't the theoretical limit

Be 27.6 billion light years since that is 2r?

[SFnomad]

20. That would sound logical ...

but I don't believe so. Look up 'Observable universe' in Wikipedia. There is also a difference between 'comoving distance' and 'proper distance'. I've read over this stuff several times and I'm still lost.

6. Trump seems to draw the Klan like manure draws flies.

Even when Trump kinda says he doesn't want them they come back. Unlike flies who number in the billions Neo Nazis, and Klan are vastly out numbered by those who would celebrate their demise.

[sakabatou]

10. Shush, you're insulting manure.

[Aquavit]

13. And flies! nt

26. AND Maggots! nt

8. Courageous lady - especially with that second letter.

I would love to send her a belated valentine.

12. I wrote a letter to the editor in my local paper and this guy harassed me online for two weeks

This was during the bush years. I have been hesitant since then to write letters. My husband told me I was a coward to not use the power of the pen but I was nervous about the threat from the bush supporter. Who is probably a drumpf supporter now.

22. Our local paper used to insist on publishing the addresses of people who wrote in.

We've tried to tell the editor local paper that was pretty damn stupid to do that but he was insistent on putting in the full street address. Even after letter writers were getting harassed, getting obscene mail, pictures of themselves mailed to them, and so on. Finally this boneheaded editor changed the policy down to just putting the street the people live on. I suspect he was going to continue putting the full addresses in but either the police or the newspaper's lawyers told him that needed to change. I still have stupid people sending me crap every time I write a letter, I just send it to the circular file without even reading it.

16. Arlington, Texas?

21. Arlington, Massachusetts, where they know a thing or two about resistance to tyranny...

Bloodiest fighting of April 19th 1776 when the town was called Menotomy

Brava to this tough minded woman for not being cowed by cowardly threats.

17. Donald Trump Wins Ku Klux Klan Presidential Nomination

This pretty much happened. Satire is so close to reality these days.

Donald Trump Wins Ku Klux Klan Presidential Nomination

DIXIE (The Nil Admirari) - Earlier today, Ku Klux Klan (KKK) chapters in the South confirmed Republican presidential frontrunner Donald Trump had unanimously won the contest to be the KKK presidential nominee. Trump, who was also given the newly-created KKK title "Grand Imperial Giant Cyclops Wizard," announced he hoped to wrap up the GOP presidential nomination by the end of March.

"Donald Trump has won the Ku Klux Klan presidential nomination. We were just waiting on results from Alabama and Mississippi, both of which are routinely late and have an archaic nominating process called a 'hollerin' caucus,'" declared a masked man in a white robe wearing a pointy hat.

24. Yes it could.

Der Trunpenführer loves these people.

18. We're never really free of them, are we?

23. They make up 20% of Dumps base.

Currently he is supported by the neo-nazis, KKK, WIM and probably idiots like Blue Tarp Man (rip).

He begs his 'audience' to react violently against protesters. Cannot stand criticism of any kind.
