Bowe Bergdahl's Father Gets Death Threats

Just another WTF in today's America. We have some (many?) over-reactive sick people in the US IMO.

SALMON Idaho (Reuters) - The father of Bowe Bergdahl, the Idaho soldier released from captivity in a controversial prisoner swap with the Taliban, has received emailed death threats that authorities are investigating, an Idaho police chief said on Saturday.

The first of the death threats sent to Bob Bergdahl at his home near Hailey, Idaho, was received on Wednesday, the same day the city canceled a planned rally celebrating the release of his son, Hailey Police Chief Jeff Gunter said.

"There were four specific emails with death threats given to the FBI and they are looking into it,” Gunter told Reuters in an interview.

Authorities are providing security to Bob Bergdahl and his wife, Jani, but Gunter declined to elaborate on those measures.

Over their viewers to get their "enemies" killed. Even if those people are really just collateral damage in their war against Obama or the Democratic Party. They believe the ends justify the means. Nasty bastards.
