EAST LONGMEADOW, Mass. (WGGB/Gray News) - A Massachusetts bakery owner says she’s facing death threats and online harassment over cookies she made to express her frustrations with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, but she’s refusing to back down.

Snio

"We’ve gotten a lot of death threats, hoping me and all my female employees get raped and my male employees get robbed, that they’re going to lock me in the building and burn the place down with me inside. It’s just been a lot,” Moran said.

Snip

The cookies went viral after Moran posted pictures of them on social media, but so did the backlash. Threats came in quickly, Moran’s home address was posted online and she and her team implemented safety protocols, according to East Longmeadow Police. The department says a report was filed by the bakery, but there is no word on their investigation.

Despite the online backlash, Moran’s community is rallying around her. By Wednesday morning, the bakery was jam-packed with customers from near and far, all showing their support.

And, Instagram wanted me to join to go in.

Nike Moran!

[sheshe2]

9. Probably ruskie bots in large part.

[chouchou]

11. Ah..I understand.

[SheltieLover]

12. Still ridiculous

[MIButterfly]

10. I said it before and I'll say it again, what is wrong with people?

Death threats. Lord have mercy.

[SheltieLover]

13. Ruskie bots?

[haele]

14. Wouldn't doubt it

But then, there is a significant segment of the online population that are emotionally stuck as petulant 14 year olds and get all sorts of jollies threatening people that are against "their team" anonymously.

[SheltieLover]

15. True

[Deuxcents]

20. Death threats of all kinds to those they disagree with instead of finding and supporting what they DO agree with

This behavior runs so deep and I wonder if we’ll ever get back to civility

[highplainsdem]

24. Good for her, and damn the people threatening her.

[mysteryowl]

25. I like the happy ending. Yeah for that!

[eppur_se_muova]

27. Mmmmmm .... jam-packed ...

28. "Get a brain Morans" guy has a cover story now ;-/

I would assume he would support doxxing this lady (unless he has had a change of heart)..

https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/get-a-brain-morans

I thought of him just yesterday..I am feeling nostalgic for that guy, Jack Abramoff etc..good times..lies about WMD post 9/11, Iraq War, Halliburton/Erik Prince more than Google-Facebook/Palantir etc, Dick Cheney shooting a guy in the face, gay marriage bans rather than trans bathrooms, that weird church that used to protest at vet funerals etc, climate change denial rather than mere inaction, factory farming but not the even more awesome horror of ventilation shutdown, the culture wars were less overtly racial, Roe v Wade still existed, there was still a public sector…

Nostalgia ;-/

Can’t quite imagine what 2035 will look like. Either things having gotten this bad will change things..or..I shudder to think..
