Evidence and traced? Unlike social media death threats, a letter should be allowed into court as physical evidence to prosecute. Is there not a law adsimst death threats. If I sent a letter to Dump threatening to MAGA by ending him, I would be in custody within a day. I know, justice for us is a completely different rule.

I love her attitude, but maybe she should have saved the mail or maybe turned them over to the FBI or their lawyer.

Making threats through the US mail.

It’s one thing if they’re just name-calling. That just qualifies as nuisance stuff. But if there are actual or insinuated threats, not a lawyer here but seems to me that’s evidence and should be turned over to authorities. Preferably after copies are made so the evidence can’t be destroyed or otherwise made to go away.

though harmless, but a small percentage could be followed by some kind of violent action to person or property. Having those letters could help law enforcement find the culprit. Meanwhile, even if the threats aren't acted upon, if they are hostile and intimidating, the person could be held accountable in a court of law. Best not to let such people get off easily. If they have to face some kind of consequences, they hopefully will be less likely to do it again.

But if I were her I would keep them in a box. They may turn out to be evidence.

I am stunned that anyone would send hate mail to Col Vindman...absolutely stunned and disgusted with how low so many people have fallen.. I think there are millions that would gladly anoint Trump as dictator for life...

Sadly, even many of our fellow vets detest LTC (Ret) Vindman but would never show the moral fortitude that he did in standing up to the CINC.

And, by the way, thank you for serving.

I love him. I love his brother.

I would love to tell them so to their faces. Failing that, by mail directly. MAGAts make that impossible.

They won't be satisfied until they have taken ALL the joy out of EVERYONE's lives.
