GOP Lawmaker Threatens to Shoot State Troopers

“Tensions were already smoldering in the Oregon Senate Wednesday, when Sen. Brian Boquist (R) poured gasoline on the situation, suggesting he would shoot and potentially kill any state trooper sent to haul him unwillingly back to the Capitol,” the Oregonian reports.

Said Boquist: “Send bachelors and come heavily armed. I’m not going to be a political prisoner in the state of Oregon. It’s just that simple.”
