No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

A federal grand jury returned an indictment charging a 33-year-old man with threatening to kill U.S. Vice President JD Vance during his visit to the Ohio region ‌in January, the Justice Department said on Friday.

Shannon Mathre, of Toledo, Ohio, is accused of ‌making a threat to take the life of, and to inflict bodily harm upon, Vance, the Justice Department said in a statement.

Mathre allegedly stated, "I am going to find out where he (the vice president) is going to be and use ⁠my M14 automatic gun and ‌kill him," according to the indictment cited by the Justice Department.

Mathre was arrested by U.S. Secret Service agents on Friday. ‍

The grand jury further charges that from about Dec. 31, 2025, to Jan. 21, 2026, Mathre was also engaged in the receipt and distribution of images that visually depict minors engaged in sexually explicit conduct, in violation of Title 18 U.S. Code Section 2252(a)(2). While investigating the threats allegedly made against the vice president, federal agents discovered multiple digital files of child sexual abuse materials (CSAM) in Mathre’s possession.
