Because There's No Place Safer Than a Gun-Free Zone

Anita Sarkeesian has shown up for speaking engagements amidst terror threats before. But after learning that Utah State University was legally forbidden from restricting firearms at a Wednesday lecture over which she received a death threat, the nationally-known feminist writer and video game critic canceled her appearance.

Oh no!  Now other Proziettes and their steer companions won't get to hear her bawl!

And we all know how dangerous those "Concealed Carry Killers" are, although, funny thing, the armed people Anita is OK having around are a lot more dangerous...

What are the odds she sent the threat to herself?

Oh good, I see you already have this story from the Salt Lake Trib.

Mr. Codrea,

Again, thank you for the email response.


Jefferson Selvy,

There is current evidence that the individual who sent the threats was from Brazil and the threats were automated and spammed (http://i.imgur.com/hHW79Wx.jpg). This may explain why the FBI was able to judge that this was not a legitimate threat, and the school wanted to proceed with the speech. Did Anita Sarkeesian create the threats herself or personally knows who did? Who knows?
