From the article:
Mark Lane owns Poppa's Fresh Fish Company in Logan Heights. He told 10News he does not have a position on the immigration crisis but he felt compelled to take a stand against the city of Murrieta when his 5-year-old son asked him why the buses carrying undocumented women and children were blocked.
"He asked me why the people were mad at the buses and I was like, it's 2014 why do I have to explain to my 5-year-old why people are mad at the buses when really they're mad at the people inside of the buses 'cause they're brown," said Lane.

"Now, we're getting death threats," said Lane. "They're going to kill me. They're going to kill my family."
He added, "They think it's OK for them to now threaten my life. They put my kids and my wife's picture on their hate sites, not even the mafia does that."

Will the karma train every come back around to visit some of their own upon the more despicable among us?

Look, Flo...there's a report that some guy is taking in one of them im'grant families. Right here in town!! Let's egg his business. No, no...I got it. Let's use Facebook and scare the guy! Yeah...that'll show 'im!!"

(146,320 posts)every controversial issue. They appear whenever someone shows any respect for humanity, and they come from people who have no respect for society. They are the products of sociopaths and psychopaths.
Internet "anonymity" is the mechanism that enables these horrid people to vent their pathological hatred. Such threats should be aggressively prosecuted. Internet "anonymity" is a myth. The sources of those threats can be discovered and should be. Every direct death threat should be met with an arrest and prosecution for terroristic threats. That's the law. Let's enforce it.

(146,320 posts)Sadly, the "common wisdom" says that people who make such threats rarely act on them. So, few are actively investigated, unless they threaten the President or other important persons.

(1,357 posts)I kept my eyes peeled for news of foster families needed for the refugees, but until now, I hadn't seen any. Border Angels are a good group. I have a feeling the refugees' movements are too fluid right now to have a firm grasp of who needs what/where.

(12,663 posts)Runs a pretty tight business (he's a fishmonger who sells out of his store and at the farmer's markets). He's had his ups and downs, but he's a good and fair guy in the long run.
Internet trolls suck. Along with all those hypocritical summer patriots and bible thumpers who talk a lot, act totally opposite from the position they claim to follow, and parade around as if that makes them better than someone who actually acts consistent to what he says and what he believes.
(Bible Thumpers = people who use the Bible as a weapon against "those others" they don't like or are afraid of.)

Thanks for the info.
