we will get you!

In 2010, Cranston, Rhode Island high school student (who happens to be an atheist) Jessica Ahlquist, complained about a prayer banner that had been hanging in the school auditorium. The issue eventually went to court, and the school was ordered to remove the banner on March 3 of 2012.  

Her atheist father was very supportive, and she eventually was awarded a student activist award and $10,000 by the Freedom from Religion Foundation (FFRF).  As you might imagine, Jessica endured all kinds of ugliness from the Christian community after complaining about the banner.  Christians can get quite vicious when any part of their religion is questioned or threatened.  

Jessica published one such threatening letter, with poor grammar included:

"The cops will not watch you forever.  We will get you good.  Tell your little asshole sister to watch her back.  There are many of us, 'Crusaders,' we have a better [sic] pool going to see who gets you first!  Your fuckin old man better move or keep you locked up if you know whats good for you. We know where he works, what kind of cars you have + the plate numbers of the cars.  Get the fuck out of R.I. you bitchin whore.  You are nothing more than a sex-toy of a slut.  Maybe you will get gang-banged before we throw you out of one of our cars.  WE WILL GET YOU - LOOK OUT!"

Wouldn't Jesus be proud?  If he existed, I mean. Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!
