I'm going to continue to call out hatred, bigotry, intolerance, and discrimination -- death threats or not :)

Note how he uses religion to justify his hate.

Robert Foster, a Republican former Mississippi state representative and failed gubernatorial candidate Friday night launched an unhinged assault on transgender allies, calling for their death by firing squad. After online outrage, he doubled down Saturday morning.

The Mississippi Free Press reports Foster is "using his social-media platform to call for the execution of political foes who support the rights of transgender people."

Friday night Foster tweeted: "Some of y’all still want to try and find political compromise with those that want to groom our school aged children and pretend men are women, etc. I think they need to be lined up against wall [sic] before a firing squad to be sent to an early judgment."

Saturday morning Foster, a farmer who runs an agritourism business and calls himself a "Man of Faith," and a "Constitutional Conservative," doubled down, attacking his foes and defending his hate-filled remarks.

Would these firing squads use muskets?

Anti-gay rhetoric was as violent for decades, and the rhetoric was acted on often. The anti-marriage equality rhetoric was not quite as violent, but it was extremely strident. “They” we’re going to destroy marriage, donchaknow.

The haters are running low on groups they can get away with openly hating. This time they are not protecting marriage. They are protecting women’s sports. Of all the unfairness in the world, it seems odd that rises to the top of the heap of things that need protecting by the full force of legislatures all over the country.

I mean, aren’t there minorities that get treated unfairly? Or women? As Governor Cox of Utah pointed out in his veto message, all this over one single trans girl in Utah HS sports?

The legislature responded by overriding his veto, so they thought the answer was yes, all this over a single trans student. They will move Heaven and earth to protect the sanctity and fairness of girls high school sports.

As if they cared in the past.

Doesn't a mustard seed move them? Always on the lookout for people to use as political sacrificial victims to their jealous and vengeful God.

They used to make the same threats against interracial couples.

That sounds like the famous "That low-down scoundrel deserves to be kicked to death by a jackass, and I'm just the one to do it."
