I was no more, no less concerned about the threats received by those people. I think it unlikely that anybody will actually try to kill anybody, despite the example of the guy who shot Scalise.

If you want to go back further, Gabby Giffords was also shot. Crazies on both sides.

But Giffords was shot by a straight up crazy, not a politically motivated one. Certainly not one motivated by bulls-eyes.

Just saying people who actually would carry out a death threat based on politics are few and far between.

I think Ford and Tlaib are as safe as Turley - which is to say, pretty safe.

I was far more interested in the movement to ignore or downplay those threats to Turley, while I think any threats to the other three professors would be made much of.

I haven't heard of any threats to the other three. Have you?
