Lawmakers Want Funds for Personal Security

"SNIP.............


“House of Representatives lawmakers want $25,000 each to hire private security right away to protect them in their home districts, an unusually quick, bipartisan response to the shooting of a Republican House leader and others at a baseball practice,” McClatchy reports.

“A House panel has approved providing an immediate $10 million for the rest of fiscal 2017, which runs through Sept. 30, for that purpose. Representatives could use the money to pay for an off-duty police officer or private security guard at town halls, fish fries, meet-and-greets or other public events in their districts.”

Here is a fabulous thread where the Dopes of the Dump shoot first, aim last.

So, we kick the responses off with the O- so-predictable...

3. Burn in hell!
 
You can reap the consequences of your sick and heartless policies!

No security for you Mr. Rebuke congressman. You deserve this hostility.

(stupidmonkey has a better chance of winning The Duggie than The DOTY but there is always next year.)

5. I want gun control laws and better background checks for personal security.
 
If they give me what I want, they won't need extra funds for personal security.  :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant:

Truth of the matter is Dummy milestogo really wants free government handouts for life but is willing to settle for the revocation of our rights as spelled out in the BOR.

A cameo by ma-lazy...

14. Better link.
 
It's actually where the OP came from:

Democratic Rep. Emanuel Cleaver of Missouri is one of the members who would like to see heightened personal security for members who want it, at least when they’re in their districts. He estimated it would cost about $45,000 to $50,000 a year to hire a personal security guard to protect a member in their home states during weekends and congressional breaks.

Even before the shooting, Cleaver felt threatened at times. He’s received death threats and racist screeds. A Missouri man firebombed his district office in 2014. More recently, an angry voter screamed at Cleaver at the airport.

“I don’t want to overstate the threats,” he said, “but we only talk about it after a tragedy, and if nothing is done now the next time it happens – not if it happens again – then people will say well it’s probably time for us to do something.”

Guess what Dummy Blue true is going to call Democratic Rep. Emanuel Cleaver of Missouri at his next town hall meeting? If you answered idiot then you guessed correctly.

Ummm, see the quoted post above by your own xrubicon.
That is why you're vulnerable, your liberal buddies made it that way, not the NRA.
Then-Chief Justice John Marshall observed, “Between a balanced republic and a democracy, the difference is like that between order and chaos.”

John Adams warned in a letter, “Remember democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. There never was a democracy yet, that did not commit suicide.”

All they need is some lunatic left control, start locking up BLM and antifa for a start, then start checking out the dump.
Life is tough and it’s even tougher when you’re stupid

My guess is US Ambassador Chris Stevens, USFS officer Sean Smith, and CIA contractors Tyrone S. Woods and Glen Doherty would have loved some of that "personal security".

Why not go all out and just make murder illegal. Then no one will ever be killed again!
