The Downers Grove Public Library in Illinois canceled a drag queen Bingo event after they received threats, WGN 9 reports.

Downers Grove police say the library received a letter that contained a bullet and a return address that said, “Your Friends at MAGA” with a confederate flag sticker on the back of the envelope.

“F– lover commies. More to come for Downers Grove Library,” the letter read according to a Facebook post from Downers Grove Mayor Bob Barnett.

1. If federal agents can find out who sent that letter, the bullet should guarantee some prison time.

Kind of hard to claim that the letter wasn't meant as a serious physical threat.

2. Oh, I hope they can! And I hope you're right about the prison time.

Sounds like a hate crime charge may be in order!

If that return address was the sender's actual address, I'll laugh my ass off. They sound stupid enough to do that.
