  1. Her community has only itself to blame.

  2. Where's the security after all this this was clearly a targeted attack and targeted threats…. where is the #FBI #DOD??

  3. WHERE IS MERRICK GARLAND? The fascists are winning, and he is doing nothing! This is insane!

  4. white men is the worlds problem,

  5. How rotten that we are losing so many public servants to this vile hatred & violence that's been unleashed by tRumps MAGA movement

  6. Those that send the threatening letters should swing right next to the guilty one.

  7. Aww look at that big old fatty cry 😂

  8. shouldn't let bullies win

  9. biden s amerika……the media and joe have spread hate and nation is divided like no time since the civil war

  10. By stepping down, they win.

  11. This is another racially motivated attack why is this been overlook and why I’m just hearing that a black council woman was deleted in jersey? I’m outraged.

  12. I am shocked they don't have any leads at this point. However, do Not assume the threatening letters are the guilty person, it could just be some nutcase that read this story in the news (or the guilty party is trying to throw off investigators). Cases like this are very rare (going after a politician in the United States). This could have been personal (someone from her past). I just thought they might have some video footage of the vehicle traveling too or from the location where the poor woman was killed.

  13. That's what they do they threaten you

  14. In some cases, having a public servant job is a calling.

  15. The state of New Jersey is absolute trash

  16. Seems to be more of a racial issue than a political issue..?

  17. People don’t run for elected positions for the money. Unless they are corrupt. Or have grand ideals that they can make a difference. Helping people isn’t a thankful job. It’s just who you are. A lot of good people burn out.

  18. There is no hate like christian love

  19. So where's the colored headline NBC? Why doesn't it say white mayor receives racial slurs and death threats bye unidentified color of letter sender? Come on let's put the shoe on the other foot what would the NBC headline read. The reason you don't put out a headline like that is because it will not meet you or racial fuel on the fire narrative. You have no integrity and you have no morals. And I hope to see the day you have no ratings unless you wise up and start telling the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, no narrative opinion

  20. America wanted Trump now we all have to live with it. DEMOCRACY is a wonderful thing…..

  21. so Republicans are whacking people why are democrats not flipping out and trying to overthrow this tyrannical government we are the ones that actually have the reason to do so I am sick of Republicans I'm sick of NBC and your donors who are Republicans which is probably why it's released at this time of day.. I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired

  22. Let's see the letter. This seems more like a chance to play martyr

  23. Empty threats from cowards made you quit. Shows you don't deserve the position you have 😂
