Arizona Rep gets bomb threat for opposing immigrant crackdown | Raw Story

After Rep. Raul Grijalva (D-AZ) called for a boycott of his own state should the GOP's immigrant crackdown bill become law, an unnamed individual allegedly threatened on Friday to blow up his Tucson office and murder his staff, according to published reports.

In response, Grijalva announced the closure of his offices in Tucson and Yuma later that night. While they are expected to reopen on Monday and the FBI is looking into the alleged threat, to Democrats across Arizona the message is abundantly clear: do not speak out against the state's immigration crackdown, or else.

The congressman had in recent days sparked a political firestorm by calling on businesses and organizations to boycott his state over its recently-passed immigration reforms that, in the name of cracking down on illegal Mexican immigration, empowers authorities to detain and interrogate anyone based solely on the officer's judgement of behavior and appearance.

Adam Sarvana, a spokesman for Rep.Grijalva, told The Arizona Daily Star that another man who called twice "threatened to go down there and blow everyone's brains out then go to the border to shoot Mexicans."

This bullshit needs to stop. No matter you stand on the political spectrum, every single citizen of this country has a right to say what they want without the threat of violence on any issue like this.

A democrat congressman from AZ--puts out a boycott on his OWN state?---:lol:

No one needs to threaten him--LOL-- He has already committed political suicide---

Can anyone explain boycotting his own state? Sounds like he needs to step down. His radical stance appears to threaten someone's family and that person feels it is necessary to fight back. If the left continues this insanity, someone will unfortunately take things into their own hands.

When the President, Congress, and judical system won't follow the law, people are forced to defend themselves. This is a failure of government.

Oh, so now you righties no longer will push for personal responsibility when one of your fringers takes things into their own hands, because a leftie caused them to do so?

I'm saying when you apply enough pressure to a system things will fail. The liberals seem to want to psuh things in this fashion. The results are predictable. Frankly, I'm surprised someone hasn't done something already. Supporting the action? No. Should people take more responsibility? Yes, and that includes the left.

of course that's true. but the loons will say that the 'left' did the same thing b/c some anarchists say and do stupid things.

... not wanting to acknowledge that dems never sucked up to anarchist types like the respubs like sucking up to the incendiary nutters.

Violence is not the answer, it does not justify going down there to not only shoot him, but his staff as well. Or do those Americans deserve to be threatened for trying to make money for their families?

I didn't mention guns, do you know something you need to share with the FBI? I said some people see what Congress has done as a threat to their families. They take the approach that you threaten those people and their families back. We are threatened by the irresponsible spending and actions of Congress. A lot of people need a change of heart and thought in order to save this country from further ruin.

Well, we have had a poster here blame the "Liberal Media" for Tim McVeigh....so this is nothing new.

Can you prove those threats were made from a "right wing" republican? No? I didn't think so.

Lefty infiltrator, no doubt.

HIS radical stance? The people in power in his state are obscene. Do you remember the phrase "papers please"? Would it be more familiar in the original German?

"Papiere, bitte." "Ausweis, bitte."

It still amazes me that the republican's will not stand up and fully denounce a damn death threat! But then again, nothing suprises me about the modern day party. My grandfather used to be a strong republican but he says he no longer has ANYONE to vote for. He doesn't like the democrats but he sure as hell don't like what the right has become.
I seriously believe with all my heart, it will take another right-wing extremist to blow up a building or something else horrific (like McVeigh) to get rethugs to stand up and denounce what they are quickly becoming.

You're assuming the "right " are the ones responsible.

I haven't heard any one on the left denouncing Norman Leboon or his actions.
