Over the weekend, a screenshot of a Facebook post by an Illinois man that threatened lynching against Rep. Frederica Wilson (D-FL) made the rounds online.

According to the Chicago Tribune, police in Des Plains, Illinois are investigating Tom Keevers for the alleged post. Keevers claimed that he did not make the post, and that a “meme-maker” made the post instead to smear him.

The creator of the post claims they need “ten good men to help carry out a lynching,” and that “rope will be provided.” Below it is a photo of Rep. Wilson, who has been the subject of attacks by President Donald Trump and White House Chief of Staff John Kelly in recent weeks following a reportedly disrespectful call with a war widow.

Another post that appears to be a screengrab under Keevers’ name claims “This congresswomen [sic] is a disgusting pig. Someone should take their boot to her face.”

One of his "friends" is a disgusting racist woman who proudly displays her hate daily.

How can these people put so much energy toward hating people of a different race?

As a white person, they are not "super human"—they are going to die, too.
And on that last breath (or those five minutes after the brain realizes the body is dead), they can reflect on how much energy and time they wasted in their pitiful hate-filled lives—when they could have done so much more by taking a positive approach to life.

Crazy stuff, from crazy people.
