The message on the back of the effigy of Collin that was beaten in the driveway of her home referenced her work as a journalist. This violent protest was meant to intimidate a journalist in Minnesota. This behavior needs to be denounced by the
@mnspj
and other journalists.
The violent destruction of an effigy of a Minnesota journalist -
@lizcollin
- by protesters standing in the driveway of her home needs to be immediately denounced by the
@mnspj
and other journalists. This behavior is dangerous, harassing, and threatening.
In June, I tweeted that the
@mnspj
has abdicated its responsibilities by remaining silent as Minnesota journalists, including independent and freelance journalists, along with their families, have been targeted with threats and harassment by members of the public.

Horrifying. If those protesters knew what was done to journalists in other parts of the world to harass and intimidate them, they might think twice about their actions and what they might lead to. Liz has already been punished enough-she's married to Bob Kroll.

Smacks of something from the days of "blue-on-blue" religious terrorism ... celebrated still today in the UK. We can do better than this.

They're on her property, threatening to kill her! Bullets could solve the trespass and threat problems quickly. She'd be within her right.
