2. The Russian trolls found her on Facebook

If you read the source article it's pretty obvious that's how they found her. Her Facebook page posted her location, the photos of the raccoon break-in, and the fact that she purchased a small handgun to protect herself in case the raccoon came back.

Certainly many, many Americans were targeted last year for the "fake news" emails but many were oblivious to the Russian hackers' techniques. Many people like this lady couldn't even imagine why she would be a target.

Never again will Americans be innocent or oblivious to this type of targeting. Foreign governments cannot be allowed to meddle with our elections or our political process. We have to be aware and vigilant.
