The county’s health officer, who had the unhappy job of imposing the state’s Covid rules on the citizens of Shasta County, was now receiving so many threats that Pontes had brought in a new threat-assessment team; he’d also ordered the bushes cut back away from her house, installed a security system and floodlights, and ordered police patrols of her neighborhood. “She still doesn’t feel safe out there,” he said. “At all.”

Everytime one of their people are threatened because of their own authoritarian policies, they use tax payer money to install added security and pay overtime to cops to patrol their neighborhoods.

That shit needs to stop. If we can’t leave the house in a MAGA hat and feel safe and we dindunuffin, then they can face the consequences of their actions.

And while we’re at it, how about stopping their paychecks from coming?
