So I have been writing letters for DEMs since 2009...I have quite a reputation in our town. The Rs of course hate me. I am published monthly in our Gazette and I write for other papers..there is a guy, and I am sure it is a man, who sends me hatriot mail on a regular basis..I got a new one yesterday...I take them to the police and so far...nothing as far as apprehending him...Once I even addressed him IN a letter telling him that his missives go directly to the DA...didn't deter him..
"My Dearest Jody,
I know that you are going through so much pain knowing that here will be 6 1/2 more years of the great Donald Trump as our leader. 48% and his numbers keep going higher and higher by the day ! And you know it deep down and it hurts. It burns and the pain is nonstop and it will only get worse. But Jody I know how you can stop this unbearable pain. Pour yourself a nice big glass of Roundup Weed Killer and the gulp it all down, close your eyes and soon all of your pain will be gone. And this is the best part when you are rotting in the ground hundreds of sweet little children will gather around your silly grave and sing with glee ding dong the crazy kook is dead !! But before you do this great feat encourage other far left freaks like yourself to do the same thing it will be a hoot !!
Burn in hell you fucking lunatic !!
With all my love,_________"
then he signs using a good DEM's name...he always picks DEMS that I know to steal their identify, as if I won't figure that out....damn I wish they would catch this man....

(53,410 posts)if you have an IT friend maybe you can track down the computer or computers he sends these from. Especially if he sends them to you on your work computer.
There might be a federal crime about sending hate mail.

(21,859 posts)You should publish periodically this idiot's letters, so others can see what 'nice' correspondence that you are getting. But, post also those favorable to your write-ups . You don't of course have to post 100% of the letters but a snapshot of each that basically shows the tone of each one. I think most reasonable people will lean towards the even handed and fair minded writer vs. the gutter snipe that he's representing.
Remember, he's the 1% of the trash that the pickers, when they used to pick through our trash STILL throw away.
I think that you might have from the write up I've read, but not sure.
Or, totally ignore him. Totally. Seems to get some satisfaction in getting some kind of a rise out of you, and if you ignore him. But keep an eye out, you did notify the authorities of this person, and hopefully, this will be just an idiot w/ a pen and no more.
Take care, my prayers and blessings are upon you.

(3,975 posts)you must give the editor
Name
Address
Phone
Email....his postal letters to me are anonymous, he steals a DEM identity..paper isn't gonna print letter w/o info on the author.
One time I did include a "letter", this was also anonymous, but a different person...I cannot afford to waste my good letters doing his bidding, tho..Gazette only allows me one letter a month and 500 words....

(20,882 posts)But I get it. Once I submitted a letter to my editor criticizing bush and I got harassed for about two weeks. I can not imagine ever submitting a letter again. You have tremendous courage and my respect for your bravery.

(3,975 posts)do you know how many hands handle an envelope? they could not help, so that is when I went to the DA...nobody can prosecute an anonymous person...unless we can discover his identity it goes on....

(768 posts)Police are starting to identify suspects through DNA testing using a techniques called genetic genealogy.
A genealogy website helps crack another cold case, police say, this one a 1987 double homicide
Something to consider if things get weirder. Not cheap, though. I think it said $4000.
