27. Very scary.

No one here should ever be threatened like this.

It seems that those that are in touch with her, are giving and urging her to pursue this matter with police and authorities, as it should be.

I couldn't think how the sender would have known where she lived...did she give her address to someone? BUT there is indication that she has a Facebook page and had mentioned/posted such here...probably a good source of too much personal information for many (just this week read an article of things to NEVER place on FB, including a phone number and address)...FYI, I don't belong).

All that said...it's just wrong.

Additional disturbing to me is the rabid assumption that it's some loon Bernie supporter and that makes all of us bad people. I've read vile comments about us, having just done 2 juries where posters continue to make their over the top posts, with something Bernie/supporters thrown in...it really needs to stop. I have lost all respect for a number of long term posters over their nastiness and negativity.

Things like this should go directly to the admins, instead of being publicly posted, Zorra Sep 2015 #22
They should go to the FBI if someone is looking people's personal addresses up and why not call her sabrina 1 Sep 2015 #30
