Justice Barrett's sister targeted with bomb threat in South Carolina
Source: CNN
The sister of Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett was the target of a bomb threat at her home earlier this month in Charleston, South Carolina, police said Wednesday.
Charleston police responded on March 10 to a politically charged email threat sent regarding Amanda Coney Williams, according to a police report reviewed by CNN. No bomb was recovered at the home. Williams is also an attorney.
“I’ve constructed a pipe bomb which I recently placed in Amy Coney Barrett’s sister’s mailbox at her home,” the email read. “The device’s detonation will be triggered as soon as the mailbox is next opened. Free Palestine!”

Barrett, who President Donald Trump nominated to the high court during his first term, has recently faced criticism from conservative circles for her recent vote in a procedural emergency order that required the president to quickly spend foreign aid money that the administration tried to freeze. There is no indication that threat on Barrett’s sister is tied to that case.

Vote against Trump and we come after your family.
I think the "Free Palestine" was misdirection.

exact wording of the threat.

(11,569 posts)Why didn't I think of that? The only way we'll know for sure is if they don't get the guy. I can't get it in my head yet that things don't work the way they should in this country anymore. FBI will probably find him and give him an award. Hell, he'll probably be hired on!
"Donald's Own Jackboots". Now that's good. Is that yours? If so may I use it?
