Disturbing

By Sue Devlin, Stevensville

An out of the blue FB message was sent to a local business here in Stevi earlier this week: it was from someone who calls himself/herself Patrick Henry and it said: “Yep. Donald Trump carried Ravalli County 70-30%. Fact is you’re an outcast here. You aren’t welcome here. Why don’t you go back to Colorado where you came from. You effed (only the actual F word was used) that state up with your moronic vote and now here you are to destroy Montana. You people are a disease. The most hated of hated. Pure effing (again the real F word was used) trash. And the veterans of this nation consider you a domestic enemy. Just know. You are unwanted and unwelcome here. You are filth. Eff (again the actual F word) you.”

I responded to that with: “That’s a truly disturbing disgusting text you sent to (I’m not saying that person’s name). You are a coward, hiding behind a fictitious name. Real men/women stand proudly behind their comments. You again are a very nasty coward. Go away and leave this person alone.”

The next day I got a FB message from someone calling themselves “Commie Stacker” but using the same picture as Patrick Henry, saying “Eat shit you commie scum. The same message applies to you. Get the F out. You will not be allowed to pull your commie bullshit in this state. Not now, not ever.”

This person lives “just outside of Stevensville,” keeps the lights on at Super 1,” “Used to live in Stevensville and has paid thousands and thousands of dollars in school taxes.”

This is absolutely unacceptable.
