Violent Threats Against The Dallas Express Apparently Politically Motivated

A man’s violent threats against The Dallas Express and its employees appear to have been politically motivated, according to the contents of various emails sent directly to The Dallas Express.

The newspaper recently received a slew of threats of violence ranging from gunning down office staff, attacking an employees’ children, and physically mutilating a figure associated with the organization, as previously reported by The Dallas Express.

“Your children, and, all of those you hold dear will die,” one of the emails read, with another asking, “How badly do you want someone to hunt and slaughter you and your family?”

Additional emails from the same sender indicate that the threats were seemingly motivated by political ideology, with the man taking particular exception to the newspaper’s journalism.

“F**k you and your garbage rag,” an email suggested, with another message calling the organization a “right-trash ‘newspaper.’”

The sender also attempted to offer some advice, writing, “get some new material: your tropes tripe and twisting of facts into fictions is such tired trolling.”

“You better protect your family with armed guards,” he continued.

Ironically, the sender referenced Dallas Express articles that were laden with nothing but facts on issues important to its Dallas-area readers.

The editor-in-chief of The Dallas Express, Karin Dyer, gave assurances that threats like the ones received would not dissuade the paper from covering important issues in the non-partisan manner it is known for.

The Dallas Express engages in reporting that other outlets are afraid or refuse to cover because of bias or prejudice. We will not stop. Nor will we be discouraged,” Dyer explained. “This only fuels our fire to continue offering Dallas an alternative to the singular polarized narrative they have heard for too long.”

Readers of The Dallas Express responded to the news with concern and encouragement.

“Praying for all of you at Dallas Express! Take care and be safe,” one commenter wrote, with another suggesting, “I hope your staff is taking measures on their own as well as collective measures.”

“Totally unacceptable and totally unnecessary to treat each other like this. No love toward fellow men whatsoever,” yet another reader responded. “Hopefully the authorities will find out who sent these messages and arrest them swiftly.”

These threats have been reported to the police and the FBI, and The Dallas Express office has taken measures to protect its staff.

    Ever notice how the left is full of lowlifes and bullies with Gestapo mentality? Stay safe (and sane, because the other side is crazy).

      Extremist are extremist. Maybe you should pay more attention. The Gestapo was typically used for someone that is a far right extremist in world history. Doing the bidding as such for say HITLER. Remember Oath Keeper, Proud Boys and the KKK are extremist groups on the right. This is one man that is obviously an asshole that should be held accountable for threatening others. As political rhetoric goes nowadays our “leaders” are not held accountable anymore, because politics is a team sport more so than family and religion. This is a waste of words just like your post. Bullies and low life’s really? The left is not burning/banning books, telling people how to live their lives, who they can love and marry, only wanting to teach history that justifies one group’s actions. This goes on. Who are you bullying today?

        I am sorry but u are wrong the groups u mentioned are all leftists.
        You people have worked on distorting history for a looong time, stop your “Virtue Signaling and learn the truth. Why was there a civil war in America? I will tell u why bc the left enslaved an entire race of people and did not want to let go. Abe Lincoln was killed by a heathen leftist. What we are not seeing is they are trying to do it again, except this time it will include everyone(World-Wide) except the Elite. Are u paying any attention to the One World Order? Probably not, huh?
        Happy Thanksgiving to you and yr family(if u have one). Merry Christmas to u also.
        God bless u.

    I subscribe to the Dallas Express precisely because the writers do not shy away from critical reporting. Sometimes the articles don’t feed into my conservative bias. Good! I want to hear facts and other points of view and then make up my own mind. God bless the staff and their families. Keep up the good work and stay safe.

    You are one of the few places I get up to date news because you are truthful and unbiased. There was a time when people could express their opinions without whiplash but not any more.We need to bring back that time when people respected each other’s opinions even if we didn’t agree with it.

    Kudos to The Dallas Express for putting truth out there for us to read. Your publication is one of two that I allow on my feed. The liberals are ruled by violence, LIES and threats!! They are a group of slithering serpents who are so threatened by truth!! Prayers for the safety of your employees and families as well as your publication. Please keep up the great job you’re doing.

    That is death threats and need to be investigated by the FBI and whoever is responsible needs to be put in jail before a bigger crime is committed.

    I love groups of people that spew conspiracy theories against the government, but then run to them for help when they get threatened. Lol

    I recently attended classes from an organization that specializes in defensive training, including organizations that face threats of workplace violence. Mostly they work with LEOs, but they also work with corporate clients, hospitals, etc. to improve awareness and prepared responses. I could find their contact info if interested.

    The FBI has the resources to track this person down and charge him/her. The question is will they do so?

      Nope, too busy tracking down terrorist parents that go to school board meetings.

        You obviously don’t recognize a “mostly peaceful protest” when you see one.

    Maybe those articles do contain facts, but almost all of what I’ve seen here just talks about one side of the story, and omits even making articles about gel with this sites obvious right winger bias.

    There is never justification for sending these types of threats though.

    Thank you all! Stand your ground! Facts are so hard to come by these days. Dallas Express is excellent at presenting both sides – aka journalism.
