Libels of and threats to Covington Kids will face Kentucky justice
By Thomas Lifson
The ongoing campaign of hate against children from Kentucky guilty of being Catholic, (mostly) white and wearing MAGA caps will not end until there are legal consequences. Fortunately, the wheels of justice already are turning in Kentucky, albeit at a pace that is frustrating to those who operate at internet speed. But the prospect of Kentuckian jurors judging those who libel or threaten their children is delightful. There are two separate avenues available, and both are being explored by people ready and willing to act.
The more serious path to legal relief was articulated by Kenton County (which contains Covington) prosecutor Rob Sanders. Gateway Pundit reports:
“We’ve got multiple ongoing investigations into numerous, numerous threats,†Mr. Sanders said Tuesday in a podcast interview with 700 WLW. “There’s probably a dozen law enforcement agencies, if not more involved in this — it’s growing, it’s spreading, there are other jurisdictions now involved in this,†Sanders added.
700 WLW radio host Willie Cunningham brought up the death threats towards the Covington teens made by bluecheck verified accounts on Twitter and asked Mr. Sanders about Kentucky law. (snip)
“What is the Kentucky law about making threats to Covington Catholic specifically? Is there a law against it?†Willie asked Rob Sanders.
“There is. It’s called ‘terroristic threatening’ in Kentucky and it is a felony offense punishable by 1 to 5 years in prison to make a threat of violence to an educational institution, so everyone who makes a specific threat.â€
Mr. Sanders made sure to clarify that saying “nasty things†about the Covington kids is not the same thing as making an “actual threat of violence†against Cov Cath or any other school in Kentucky that’s punishable by 1 to 5 years in prison. The punishment can go up to 5 to 10 years if they talk about using a weapon of mass destruction.

This will be laughed off, until actual indictments are issued.

Funny how that works.
What if it were people shouting scripture while blocking the entrance to an abortion clinic?

Most of them will probably claim their Twitter accounts were hacked... They always do when they're about to be held accountable...
