School board member resigns after threatening to shoot any mask-less person who comes near her
Wow. Wonder if she was in favor of a Red Flag law? She is a Doctor and has a concealed carry permit. Seems that she is unhinged enough that they ought to come for her guns (if Pennsylvania has a Red Flag law).
Quote:A board member of a Pennsylvania public school district resigned her post in the wake of criticism over her Facebook post that threatened to shoot anyone not wearing a mask who got within six feet of her or her family.
Quote:Rager-Kay, a doctor who ran unsuccessfully as a Democrat for an open state House seat last year, wrote “I find it interesting that the largest group of the participants in the anti-lockdown protest and refusing to wear masks in public as they see it as a violation of their constitutional rights are among those against a form of gun regulations.
“As a concerned carry-permitted gun owner, if you refuse to wear a mask and try to come within 6 feet of me or my family, I will exercise the same constitutional rights to shoot you.”
Ahhhh, Karen, that's not how it works. You don't have a Constitutional right to shoot somebody just because you don't like them or disagree with them or are scared of them because - GASP! - they aren't wearing a mask..
Then she apologized - sort of.....
Quote:I would like to publicly apologize to anyone offended by my recent post regarding the hypocrisy of those who refuse to wear face masks yet walk around openly carrying guns.
I am in a profession where the threat of someone approaching me not wearing a mask while in the midst of a pandemic is equivalent to the threat against my life. Just as it would be if they approached me with their gun drawn and pointed at me.
As a wife, mother and physician, it is my job and responsibility to “do no harm” and the constant barrage of protests and defiance to public health reached a boiling point for me, thus the reason for my overly dramatic and exaggerated post. My words demonstrated how constitutional rights can be misinterpreted, and were meant to serve as an example of extremism.
Not really. You're just an unhinged nutcase.
Quote:The “apology” concluded by referring to those who refuse to wear masks as “bioterrorists”: “[It’s] a real threat and refusal to prevent and/or the intentional release or dissemination of biological agents by not wearing a mask during a global pandemic is a clear example.”
Rager-Kay answered those calling for her resignation by writing on Facebook “My post was described as hateful, but hateful suggests a lack of love. And to me, lack of love is demonstrated by refusing to wear a mask out of love for those you encounter.”
Two days after the purported apology, she had changed her mind. “l have received threats against my personal and professional wellbeing,” her resignation letter reads.
Gosh, who could have seen THAT coming. Unhinged nut threatens to shoot others. Other unhinged nuts with guns threaten her life. Karma. Well done, Karen. You have a stunning lack of self awareness and recognition of cause and effect. (Not saying it is right to threaten another citizen. Just saying....)
Quote:Hilariously, the PennLive story notes Rager-Kay’s Facebook page includes a photo from last week showing “a parade of fire equipment” for her son’s birthday, which includes a firefighter giving her son a gift. Neither is wearing a mask.
Everything she said goes against everything I have ever been taught concerning guns and self defense. As a handgun carry permit holder, I'm quite ashamed of her.

Same here. She is among the type that give responsible gun owners a bad name.
