He's threatening to end the man's career, where do you get any physical threat.

Late Tuesday, Parker sent this message to Stanley, R-Franklin County, via Facebook: “I’m going to be your worst nightmare you little bastard.”

“I don’t own a gun,” Parker said. “I have a pellet gun, that’s it. ... If he thinks I’m going to be a threat to him other than a political threat, that is just mind-boggling.”

"In an interview after McAuliffe’s radio remarks, Stanley highlighted a comment Parker made Tuesday night beneath a post touting an endorsement of Stanley by the NRA.

The comment, one of more than a dozen Parker posted to Stanley’s page within roughly 30 minutes, accused Stanley of failing to offer condolences after the shooting and concluded: 'WHEN YOU SEE ME AGAIN, YOU BEST WALK THE OTHER WAY LEST I BEAT YOUR LITTLE ASS WITH MY BARE HANDS.'"

So he's made threats of physical harm before. Mind boggling indeed, how could one come to such a conclusion?

from bear hands beating? I'm told that happens. In any case, this specific threat made to a specific person may constitute a felony.
