Sorry Ava you had to learn this lesson about the left so early on in life. I would normally say double down on the face of threats like these, but I don't want a 11 year old girl to be a martyr for free speech.

The Left are vile, despicable people. You are going to threaten the life of a little girl over a joke? Look in the mirror for the love of God, stop and think. I hope some of the moderates in the party stop and take notice of what's going on. They are a lot of good Democrats out there, people with love in their hearts, even if they often times have misguided and unworkable ideas in their heads.

I pray they will wake up one day and read a headline like this, and wake up. Hopefully look around the room and say holy cow, these people's beliefs and actions are diametrically opposed to my religious or moral identity. It's got to be getting harder and harder to justify being on the left. The bearings, the attempts to silence, doxing, smears, etc. Good people don't engage in this behavior, Patriots would be appalled by it.

Don't walk, run away.

'Mini AOC' ends parody videos after receiving 'death threats,' 'harassment' from the left, family says

By Joseph A. Wulfsohn | Fox News

The 8-year-old child actor who went viral for impersonating Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-NY, is no longer going to make videos due to death threats and harassment she and her family have received.

Earlier this year, Ava Martinez, known as "Mini AOC," brought joy to her fans with several videos poking fun at the socialist darling, collecting millions of views on social media.

However, the fun came to a screeching halt on Wednesday when Martinez's family announced that she would no longer be impersonating Ocasio-Cortez and that all the videos created would be removed.

"The Left's Harassment and death threats have gone too far for our family. We have been getting calls on our personal phone numbers," Martinez's stepfather Salvatore Schachter tweeted. "For our safety and for our child's safety, we deleted all Mini AOC accounts."

Schachter told Fox News that the feedback from "Mini AOC" was overwhelmingly positive, but the negativity "became too much" after she reenacted photographs the congresswoman had taken at the southern border last year, adding that the comments were "increasingly personal, dark, and dangerous."

"She's disappointed at not doing Mini AOC going forward but we explained that this is for the best and she's okay with it," Schachter said.

Ava's family had one message for those on the left who harassed her and her family.

"The world has seen Ava's beauty, talent, and charm, which was the whole reason for Mini AOC to begin with and no amount of hate or anger will change that," Schachter told Fox News. "Also, like Ava says, 'try using your words.'"

while I find that pretty funny I am not a fan of parents putting their young children out there like that

good decision IMO

good decision IMO

I'm not questioning their decision, I'm questioning the morality of the left. It's the right decision, but not one anyone should have to make.

Something about this kid and family have bugged me from the beginning, and I feel like I want to put the word “alleged” throughout this story.

But assuming it is true, and her parents are not the attention seeking whores I believe them to be, then really? Death threats to the family of an 11 year old?

Sadly though, I have zero problems believing that if there were some 11 year old kid doing viral Trump impressions, the results would be similar, so ‘whatever’.

Happy Independence Day, America.

People who issue death threats to 8 year old children should be shot.

In the face.

In their own kitchen.

In front of their family and friends.

With a cannon.

WTF is the matter with people?

The real question is WHY is federal law enforcement not dealing with the threats?

I think she and her parents are great. Go with where life takes you. And yes, LE should be pursuing these threats, to protect both miniAOC and free speech.

Under which federal statute exactly?

The left has no issue murdering babies, so why would they hesitate making death threats to a child?

When you let the left win - the left wins.

Conservatives are like a hibernating bear in spring with the tree of liberty ripe for bloom.

We keep getting poked and we're trying to decide if we should just wake up or sleep a little longer.

We don't know that the feds aren't looking into it.

Using an electronic communication device to communicate threat is a federal crime, as is using the US mail.

Use of the internet to threaten “the person of another” constitutes a violation of 18 U.S.C. § 875 ( interstate communication of threat to injure) If it is communicated interstate, federal jurisdiction is created.

I guess the FBI would have to investigate to determine if any actual threats were received and if any were interstate.

Threats against conservatives = no threat

Threats against non-conservatives = threat

See how easy that is?

I don't think the parents should have put the little girl up to it in the first place. That still doesn't justify death threats.

Sub-Section 4.a.iii Or may be shot at the officer's discretion.

Bigdeal, I like Section 4.a.iii.

And make no mistake, the use of the internet is "interstate commerce" as far as the feds are concerned. We could stop a LOT of online harassment if a few well publicized people went to jail for communicating threats online.

They aren't that hard to find because internet communication records are considered business records of the service providers and of platforms like Facebook, and can be accessed by subpoena, not warrant on probable cause. They would be cheap to prosecute because the penalties are heavy, and there would be a strong incentive to plead to avoid 5 years in the can or a hefty fine. Word would get around, and this shit would stop.

Put the habeas grabus on a couple of them at 6:00 a.m. in their undies, call CNN to film the perp walk, give them 1 year suspended sentence, a $10k fine, and ban them from the internet for a year, and this shit would absolutely stop.
