Arkansas state senator kinda sorta threatens to kill his constituents if they ask him a question in public.

Later out of curiosity Mr. White visited Senator Rapert's Twitter account and found this:

 Soooo, to be clear this legislator is suggesting that talking to him in public, or let's go ahead and say "harassing him," is reason enough for him to shoot you?

With bullets and everything? 

Later the Senator attempted to convince Mr. White that HE was not the one who he was threatening to shoot:

Well good to know that Mr. White wasn't the guy that Senator Rapert considered important enough to almost shoot in the face.

However that means that somewhere in Arkansas is some poor schlub who just barely escaped with his, or her, life and doesn't even know it.

And I guess for future reference if you want to confront Senator Rapert about some legislation he introduced or how he voted, probably best to do so when he is stepping out the shower at the gym.

That way you know he is not armed.

And I imagine nothing else about him will seem terribly intimidating either.

(H/T to the Arkansas Times.)

P.S. And oh yes, Rapert is a Republican. But then you knew that already, didn't you?
