Arizona state Rep. Kyrsten Sinema recently introduced a bill that would turn civilian border patrols, neighborhood watches, and the like into felonies. Now, she claims that she's receiving threatening emails about it, and that may well be true. However, it's a standard leftie tactic to claim to be a victim and to try to portray all those on the other side as violent.
As for the article, 3TV/AZ Family must have good lawyers. The title of the article is "Local lawmaker receives threatening emails from Minutemen", which would lead one to believe that supposed reporter Claudia Rivero has actually verified the identities and affiliations of the senders. I tend to doubt that:
Many of the emails are signed by people who claim to be members of the Minuteman Civil Defense Corps. But the president of the group says they do not tolerate such behavior.

"Makes it a Crime", "to Report a Crime", is that telling you something about a non nation with no laws? "but the law of evil doers working inside government in high places?
The real threats do come from the enemies of freedom and laws and duty to the ideals of laws and rights, Mexico Like all third world countries and its people can't not understand that fact of duty and laws, and its political so called system is a joke that is here doing its evil work.

William Gheen at ALIPAC is claiming that the threats actually come from the pro-open borders crowd. As usual, Gheen offers absolutely no evidence to support his wild allegation

Funny, at first glance HB2286 makes it a crime to report a crime. All criminals, but in particular the border jumpers in AZ, must love this one. If it passes, does that mean Sinema would be guilty of a felony for reporting a "threat"? Or, only if she owns a gun at the time she makes the report?

That's so libelous and totally irresponsible, and worthy of a lawsuit.
