Gun-Nut Threatens Author Tom Diaz; Here’s His ‘Response To A Coward’s Threat’ (VIDEO)

By Randa Morris July 25, 2013

Video Description:


Wayne LaPierre has deliberately mobilized an army of haters who seek to destroy the First Amendment to save their sick view of their rights under the Second. A frequent tool in their arsenal is the anonymous threat. This is about one such threat.


The anonymous G. Wright wrote:

"Mr. Diaz,

On CNBC’s program “American Gun, Rise of AR-15” you posed a chest thumping, angry question to those who view our government as tyrannical. You asked ”Who’s face is it we would shoot?” It is your face Mr. Diaz. It is every face of every person that seeks to deny us our rights under the constitution. It is the face of politicians that moved to chisel our rights to the point where we can be provoked no more...”

"Look around Mr. Diaz. The people grow angry at un-American liberals. They will come for you someday, and you will not escape their justice."


...Diaz said to Addicting Info:

“This is not really about me. I think it’s really about the thousands of people–mothers, college kids, local politicians–who were so repelled by Sandy Hook that they decided to become active in their communities and online. I know that many of them have been threatened, some directly and some implicitly. Not to mention the threats that the President and other politicians get over this issue. I think it is crucial, not just on this issue, that we stand up to this kind of terrorism, which is what it really is.”

Reading the threat, it’s clear the anonymous G. Wright did not just threaten Tom Diaz. Instead he threatened “every face of every person” who wants to make the world safer by ending gun violence. Tom Diaz published this video, his very straightforward “Response To A Coward’s Threat” on July 24th. Watch the video to see what happens when you threaten someone who just won’t be intimidated by these kinds of right-wing terrorists.
