You can't know that a threat isn't empty until it's too late.

- pacoWebConsult 7y agoOr you could realize a sitting state senator in the chambers of their congress literally has no means of harming them besides their fists due to the security force of the state?
- mikeash 7y agoHow do you know they didn’t bring a gun? There’s no reason to feel safe around someone who recently made a credible murder threat.
- davidw 7y agoThere were rumors he wanted to bring his gun to the capitol, which is apparently legal. No, I don't think he would have actually done anything, but it's too bad he couldn't have been dealt with in a fair and calm way in order to ensure her concerns had been assuaged. It was kind of a maddening sideshow: in normal times, he would have been reprimanded in some way, and she would have been made to feel safe, but they were in a crazy rush to finish.
- DuskStar 7y ago> she would have been made to feel safe Personally, I find it interesting that the focus here is on her feeling safe, and not actually being safe - because she already was.
