I'm starting to worry about her safety. Not kidding. She's been so calm, eloquent and compelling that she is singlehandedly waking up millions of people to the truth and I worry that some of the more deranged (or well-funded) TRAs will try to shut her up for real.

As bad as some of the tweets to her are, I'm sure she, her publishers and associates are receiving truly frightening threats. They nailed a dead rat to the Vancouver rape crisis center, god knows what they will send or do to her.

Yeah, no joke, I'm worried about the same thing.

If they anything of the sort, they'll turn her into a martyr. That's, I think, the only reason why they're holding back. She's too much of a public figure, too well-known, too popular to be killed in a car accident or harassed w/o anyone noticing or connecting the dots. If anything happens to her, there will be riots in the streets.

But I agree, I'm worried about her. And her family. Nothing more terrifying for a parent than their children being potential targets because of their parents.

I suspect she employs a variety of people specifically for personal protection, including people to assess hate mail for signs that the writer might act on it. I hope that's enough to keep her safe.
