Source: State Cops Probing Woman Who Hoped Coakley “Gets Shot”

[NJmaverick]

State Troopers are investigating talk of violence to Attorney General Martha Coakley, interrogating a woman who posted on Facebook that she hopes Coakley gets shot, a source in the Attorney General’s office confirms.

“Hope she gets shot,” a poster wrote about Coakley’s planned rally with Bill Clinton.



The source in the Attorney General’s office says the threat was taken seriously by her state trooper detail. “State troopers assigned to defending the AG are investigating and have interrogated the woman,” the source says, declining to say what was ascertained because the office isn’t supposed to confirm ongoing probes.

An AG spokesperson declined comment, and I’ve checked in for comment with the troopers.

3. I suspect this was just some babbeling fool, but you can't ignore

any threats! There are a lot of crazies out there, and it seems they're multiplying every day!

4. The hate talk show hosts are to blame. Beck, Limbaugh, Palin and their ilk.

The savagery and bigotry allowed transmission over public
airwaves emboldens the masses to join the hateful chorus.
It is truly frightening to live among such people and
the corporate network executives who encourage this
growing mob mentality should be prosecuted IMO.
