'rip you apart limb from limb'

We get a lot of hate mail at Public Citizen. It seems to be getting even worse — perhaps not surprisingly given the increasingly violent rhetoric coming from Donald Trump and his adherents. Here are just a few examples: - “I would rip you apart limb from limb if given the chance.” - “We hope and pray you die.” - “The real patriots will set things straight soon.” - “I hope Trump ends you all — in the literal sense of the word.” - “I will kill you without remorse.” - “You should be run over by a car.” - “You all deserve a bullet.” - “What’s really sad is that no one has killed the twisted morons at Public Citizen.” - “You should die slowly, in horrible pain.” - “We will eradicate scum like Public Citizen.” - “The FBI should lock you up and anyone who supports you.” - “Get the f*** out of my country.” - “Your day is coming, sooner than you think.” That’s all in addition to anti-Semitic remarks directed at me personally, like “Should have guessed you’re a f---ing Jew.” While I certainly wish we didn’t have to face comments — and the threats implicit in them — like these, I do think it’s important to take note of the vitriol directed at the work you and Public Citizen are doing together. Of course, we have no intention whatsoever of backing down.
