(35,669 posts)She ran and served for all the right reasons. We are indeed fortunate that people of her calibre are willing to take on this job.
Every day the news brings us accounts of this bullying, intimidating, menacing behavior by enraged right wingers.
The U.S. needs a societal psychiatrist.

(205,332 posts)Who would have ever thought that bullies in this country would be attempting to scare and intimidate those serving on school boards?! Only those who "follow" TFG...

when police break the law, then there is no law. Just a fight for survival. Billie Jack
If the police wont respond to threats like this in a timely manner - then maybe some somebody else or two needs to see just how skilled or even how willing the wanna be Rambo terrorists are at using those weapons against people who arent just defenseless women and children.
There are people with the skill sets needed to confront and defeat those trump loving cowards who would gladly show up to protect that brave woman, her family and their property.
Oh, and they sure as shit dont vote Republican either.

(2,690 posts)Its hard to face snarling animals snarling soiling your home, threatening you and your family, without either running away or running for your rifle.
All of the maddened, rabid mob attacking her, threatening her, and figuratively smearing their feces on her home need to be outed publicly. I mean it. Where, oh where, are the news crews to film and interview these beasts, to get them to identify themselves to their own neighbors and family? Where are the police to protect her from their threats and vicious acts against her -- walking by her daughters bedroom window snarling language fit only for the sewer.
Shes a model for all people who love freedom -- real freedom, not the freedom to shit on your neighbor -- and justice.
I hope she is able to continue, but evil has a way of wearing you down.
(Oh, and can I give a big F**k You to Tucker Swanson for encouraging these subhumans to file child abuse claims against people who believe in masks and vaccines? I know that rich twit will never be called to task for incitement. I only hope he gets caught up and drowned in the backwash of his own evil, the evil he has spewed into a tidal wave for his viewers and fellow travelers.)

They can only win by violence, and the threat of violence... by lying and shouting.
Jennifer Jenkins is a very admirable person.
