Mission Accomplished!

After blaming the tea party for the mass slaughter on Saturday one tea party leader is receiving death threats. The sheriff’s office told Tucson tea party leader Trent Humphries to stay home.

The Tuscon Tea Party leader started receiving death threats since the shootings at the Safeway on Saturday.
Talking Points Memo reported, via Free Republic:

Trent Humphries, the leader of the largest tea party group in this mourning southern Arizona city, has nothing but praise for the way President Obama has led the nation through the aftermath of Saturday’s mass shooting at a constituent event for Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D-AZ). But Humphries won’t be there tonight when Obama speaks at a memorial rally intended to unify Tucson after six people were killed in the tragedy.

Humphries says he’s been getting threats at his home from people who seem to hold him and his organization partially responsible for the shootings Saturday.

Humphries told TPM he’s called the Sheriff’s department more than once in the past few days to make them aware of threatening phone calls.

“We got a not-so-veiled threat,” Humprhies told me. “The Sheriff’s deputies told me to stay away from public places.”

The Pima County Sheriff’s Department did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Humphries said the threats have coincided with Saturday’s shooting and began nearly right away.

“We had people say, ‘too bad it wasn’t your family that was killed,’” Humphries told me. Other angry calls have come in as well. “‘The blood of that little girl on your hands,’” Humphries recalled one message saying.

But it was a new call that came in this week that Humphries said had him staying out of public view for a while.

“It was something like ‘we hate you and we’re going to stand against you and we’re going to use our First and Second Amendment rights to stop you,’” Humphries told me.

Nice work, Sheriff Dupnik.

    We sure it isn’t the good “sheriff” himself behind this?

    Unfortunately, this is probably just the beginning. If we want our nation, some of us are probably going to die for it.

    The sheriff’s job is to protect the citizens, it is plainly clear he has only succeeded in fomenting mindless hatred on the left, he has helped cause the very atmosphere he has supposedly condemned and should be fired for it, politics and baseless accusations are not part of his job description.

    Don’t hide from these punks. Call them out. Bring them out.

    Demand they make their best move. And then respond in kind.

    The best way to deal with bluffs is to call them on it. And if they’re not bluffing? Take them out.

    It’s time we start treating this as it is. A mob mentality that needs to be put down.

    #6, rbosque –

    Unfortunately, the good “sheriff” is an elected official. He can’t be fired.

    jimg, yeah, I have to tell you I would probably put on a bulletproof vest and go about my life anyway. What are they going to do? Keep him so scared he doesn’t dare go to work? Sometimes you just have to grab your bootstraps and do what you have to do . . .

    I’m going to be as delicate as possible here but it looks to me like this is a concentrated effort on the left to take out the right. I would not go so far as to say planned but I will say that it looks like it is working and I’ll bet there’s a similar incident sooner rather than later.

    This is more evidance that Jarrod is an assassin working within a broader political conspiracy of public employee union THUGS who are using their choke hold on the media and local police department to cover up what is really going on.

    And the term “blood libel” was somehow ignorant? Looks like it was spot on accurate. Of course as per usual Palin is 100% correct while the bed wetter keep on wetting themselves.

    Olm is right. There is going to be violence perpetrated against the right, real soon. Allee Bautsch-style. Rahm-Chicago-style. For no other reason than the already-mentally-insane among us are addicted to their televisions, and beieve everything that emanates thereout.

    Did you not see the Twitter “Palin death threats” video yesterday or today?

    What they have done — WORKS….

    …and 1/3 of this lost nation are their drones.
    —-

    Sad. The Left (MOST LIKELY, given what we know about this case, and about OKC, and about the Crisis the Dem’s have SAID they need, and about what we know about the murderous Soviet-typified history of what Prog-MoFos are capable of, and DESIRE,) uses one of their own to take out a Dem-HATED Lieberman-style Democrat and a Federal Judge who is about to strike down TWO key provisions in the Obama Heathcare bill, and then convince the 1/3 of this United States that is most gullible and detached from reality that the CONSERVATIVES are responsible.

    Nothing at all good can come of this.

    Told y’all before the police have duty to protect you.
    They are law enforcement officers not body guards.

    Well this just came out of right field now didn’t it.
    I certainly hope Mr. Humphries and his family will be ok.I would advise him to arm himself and be alert and for God sake, if any of these whack jobs actually does attempt violence on him and his family…..Don’t miss, every dead center hit will lessen the country of human sewage.After the last few days, that sewage is reeking.
