I attended a talk by former Secretary of State, Mike Pompeo, in February. He's also been targeted by Iran. He had a heavy DSS detail. Sad to think what it must be like to be a civilian without this kind of protection available.

I’m baffled as to why there wasn’t more security at this event. This man is someone who is unfortunately always in potential danger. The fact someone was able to sneak up on him and do this without any prior intervention is incredible. Wishing him all the best.

JK Rowling begs for ‘support’ as Salman Rushdie comments spark vile death threats

JK ROWLING has issued a plea for "support" after her comments condemning the attack on author Salman Rushdie led to her receiving death threats.
www.express.co.uk www.express.co.uk
''After sharing her plea for “support”, JK confirmed that the police are now involved.

She wrote: “To all sending supportive messages: thank you. Police are involved (were already involved on other threats).”

Worryingly, another user called Addie also threatened JK by saying, “You’re next”, in a now-deleted tweet.

Another, named Rick, wrote: “Anti-feminist transphobe I hope something wayyyy worse happens to you.”
JK hit back at him directly, quipping: “You seem lovely, Rick. Will you be deleting your account immediately or hanging around to see what happens next?”

The author also raged at a user called Rob who urged her to “get off social media” instead of “complaining” about the threats she had received.

He said: “Without a public platform these morons can’t get to you, so why have a public platform and then complain? It’s amazing to me that the answer is so simple, get off SM and get on with your life.”

JK sarcastically responded: “Good to know you’re confident that the worst I’ve had are Twitter threats, Rob, that’s a great comfort to me. And such a simple solution! I’ll inform the relevant authorities you’ve fixed the problem.”
