A Tavares road patrol officer is being investigated after threatening comments about President Obama appeared on her Facebook page Thursday night around the time when the president was giving his acceptance speech for the Democratic nomination. Police Chief Stoney Lubins said the department received an email Thursday night about the comment on Officer Sarah Coursey's Facebook page. It was posted about 10:15 p.m., about the same time Obama was giving his acceptance speech. Coursey was near Tavares when the following comment was posted: "Where's Lee Harvey Oswald or John Wilkes Booth when you need them!?!? " Lubins said the statement was "alarming" and the department will be doing an internal investigation. A spokesman with the Secret Service said the agency is aware of the incident.

I suspect we only hear about a fraction of threats said online.

I know this because only a very few of them say what they really feel.
These are very ugly, fearful, hateful, uncivilized people at heart. Make no mistake, it is very difficult for them to keep quiet when they aren't among like-minded animals, but they manage to pretend to be civilized most of the time.
