Tea Party Threatens Local Reporter

To: Peter Schaps,

Sorry, it was late last night but you wrote the following. Would you elaborate further?

"Bear this in mind this day that the words you write today may be the worst words you live to regret tomorrow."

I have sent my next edition to all parties involved that they may point out any statement to which they may believe slanderous so that I may edit my content appropriately.

However, I am opining about a police report, a letter from Darrel Trulson's daughter and my own family's experiences with child molestation.

Even the Local Republicans must admit that free press still exists in the United States and people have the right to their opinions.

So what punishment does the Tea Party, Bob Barrett and Sean Nienow have in store for me?

A boycott of my lawnmower shop? from pro business Republicans?

Personal harm administered by a Tea Party goon squad, like those who deface campaign signs?

Peter, you sound a whole lot more like a Fascist Nazi than the liberty loving American you profess to be.

Please advise what sort of torture you have in mind for me. A Tea Party Concentration Camp? Bamboo shoots under the finger nails or a simple yet effective water boarding that will make me sig heil perverts, Peter Shaps, Darrel Trulson and the local Republicans who support him.

Oh jeez, maybe you are trying to coerce me into not reporting about Darrel because of my "criminal record" and the ten days I served in jail for recycling without a license.

Janet Reiter got a big conviction against a local guy for coercion. I can see if she would give equal consideration to you. The other guy got fined 100 bucks. Will the Republicans cover your fine?

I guess you could tie me to the chair that sits on the Tea Party tower until after the election, but rather I would like to sit by a Romney Ryan sign which you don't have!

But since I have the largest Romney Ryan sign in the county proudly visible from I35 would you tie me there? next to a real Republican? Thanks, Jon

Silence is Consent

Silence is Consent-Email sent to Darrel Trulson, a Candidate for Chisago County District One Commissioner

Darrel, based upon subsequent Emails from yourself and other parties I can verify that you have received a copy of my Epitaph through email.

You have made no attempt to clarify or disavow the Sheriff's report and the letter from your daughter or disagree with, or point out any fallacies in my editorial comments or content, though you have had ample time to do so.

I have an email from your ex-wife requesting some minor changes in copy and description of events leading to the Sheriff's Report. She further states that she is not going to recant her statements, though it is apparent that she and her family have been under extreme pressure to do so.

Thanks, Jon
