Ron Paul supporters threaten Atlanta family with rape, death

RESIZE: AAA

Jere Brower, his wife Clara, and his 4-year-old daughter Ana, have a very good reason to believe Texas Congressman Ron Paul when he said people view his supporters as “dangerous.”

The 38-year-old Atlanta man and his family have been targeted by militant Ron Paul supporters, one of whom threatened to “kneecap” him, then rape his wife and young daughter.  Mr. Brower said he has also received death threats from supporters of Ron Paul.

The trouble started when Brower and some of his Facebook friends decided to have a laugh over Ron Paul’s ties to racist and anti-semitic groups.

He wrote a post on Facebook intended to be a joke, but some Paul supporters took it seriously – too seriously.

…

Brower said that he received a number of threatening emails and messages from angry Ron Paul supporters before adjusting the settings on his phone so as not to receive any more messages.

One of the messages read:

You are a f*****g idiot a*****e. TO stoop as low as I see you are willing is enough to gag a maggot. Keep up the s**t and drive this country into a civil war you f*****g moron piece of human trash. How about I come on over. Maybe, I will start by kneecapping you with my HK 45. Then, while you wither in pain, I will give your wife the best f*****g she ever had. I will treat her nice. Then, maybe your daughter needs to become a real woman. How would you like that. It is not too hard to find out where you live you neocon f**kwad.

Brower then filed a complaint with the DeKalb County Police, and said he contacted the FBI.

No one was availble for comment at the DeKalb County Police Department as of this writing.

Brower, a retired Army Captain who served four tours in Iraq, said there was a time he seriously considered supporting Ron Paul.

“I took a good hard look at Ron Paul,” he said, but after hearing racist messages and witnessing disrespectful behavior at gatherings of Ron Paul supporters, he thought twice.

Brower’s wife, Clara, is Asian, and the talk againt interracial marriage bothered him.  He said he began looking into the controversial newletters that have dogged Paul’s career for years and went to other meetings to learn more.

But, he said, the more he was exposed to Paul’s militant supporters, the more concerned he became.

“Good and bad – everything comes in different colors,” he said.

The two-time Bronze Star winner says he is not too worried and can take care of himself.

But the threats against his family have him concerned.

    but what else do you expect from followers of that nutjob

    • mikeymike143

      Richard Poplawski was a white supremacist arrested in Pittsburgh on April 4, 2009, for the murder of three Pittsburgh police officers responding to a domestic violence call.

      Poplawski believed that the federal government, the media, and the banking system are all largely or completely controlled by Jews.

      He also believed that a conspiracy led by “evil Zionists” and “greedy traitorous goyim” was “ramping up” a police state in the United States for malign purposes.

      One of Poplawski’s favorite places for such conspiracy theories was the Web site of the right-wing conspiracy radio talk show host Alex Jones. Poplawski visited the site, Infowars, frequently, shared links to it with others, and sometimes even posted to it. One of his frustrations with the site, though, was that it didn’t focus enough on the nefarious roles played by Jews in all these conspiracies

      Poplawski was a also member of Stormfront, a white supremacist website, where he was a frequent visitor and poster. Poplawski had reportedly posted a picture of his tattoo, a “deliberately Americanized version of the iron eagle” to the website, as well as a link to a YouTube video of Congressman Ron Paul discussing with Fox News host Glenn Beck the rumored existence of FEMA-managed concentration camps .

        correction to title of above post

  • daveoconnor

    to say the least.
    The “joke” on facebook recomended buying or making KKK robes and hoods and following Paul around SC making sure to carry signs supporting Paul and getting media coverage.
    You quite conveniently left this part Newby’s “story” out. And Newby wrote this in Washington State with no real journalistic back up.
    Interesting you think posing as KKK in an effort to disparage a candidate is all in a day’s work, just a joke; but you cut it from your paste job.

      …and more proof that nutjobs and their Paultards don’t have any kind of sense of humor, even if some jokes aren’t funny.

        Complicity with evil is evil itself.

        And a friend confirms he hated Jews:

    Cherry-picking the most disgusting or disturbing supporters of a candidate to tar said candidate and his supporters by association is both a) incredibly dishonest, and b) not going to convince anyone except those who are already convinced. In a country as large as ours, it is a surety that there are terrible people supporting every candidate in the race. There are horrible and horrific people supporting Rick Perry, Newt Gingrich, Mitt Romney, etc, just as there are good people supporting all of those candidates — and yes, there are good people supporting Ron Paul, as well. As you note in your diary, Mr Brower himself gave some thought to becoming a Ron Paul supporter. Those people will not be convinced by attempts to link them to attempted rapists and racists, when they know that they are neither.

    Isn’t it better to use legitimate arguments against Ron Paul using facts about what he believes and has said?
