Guys, it’s getting bad out there.

This week, the FBI arrested a Tucson Unified School District employee because he threatened U.S. Rep. Martha McSally of Arizona.

Remember when Arizona Congressperson Gabrielle Giffords was shot by a would-be assassin who had paranoid schizophrenia? Well, that was really horrible and tragic. In her case, the shooter didn’t have a political agenda.

Well, McSally serves in Arizona’s District 2, the same district Giffords served. However, McSally’s abuser told police that he was upset at her for supporting President Donald Trump. In other words, her constituent decided it was perfectly fine to escalate his political disagreements to the level of… murder?

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. If we do not get the political vitriol under control in this nation, someone is going to die.

Tucson.com reports on McSally’s situation:

FBI agents arrested Steve Martan, 58, in connection with three messages left on the congressional office voicemail on May 2 and May 10, according to a criminal complaint filed May 12 in U.S. District Court in Tucson. Martan is a campus monitor at Miles Exploratory Learning Center in the Tucson Unified School District. He was placed on home assignment and told not to come into work as the district investigates the allegations. The voicemails contained threats to McSally, including that she should “be careful” when she returns to Tucson and that her days “were numbered.” He threatened to shoot her in one of the expletive-filled messages.

May this be a wake up call, America.
