A bookstore I know of got a death threat for having a "No Kings" sign displayed [View all]


This was back in June, but I just found out about it today:

"The sign, which included the phrases “No Kings” around the number 8647, was placed on display inside in the downtown bookstore last week ahead of the nationwide rallies on Saturday, said owner Naomi Chamblin. The number is a combination of “86,” an old-school term for “throw out” or “remove,” with “47,” which refers to Trump’s position as the 47th president."
You can read about it here: https://napavalleyregister.com/news/napa-bookmine-threat-bookstore-sign-trump-no-kings/article_0cc7bfd2-15f1-48dc-81b8-102c64b1be7f.html

If you have any books you are thinking of getting, please consider getting them from them (https://napabookmine.com/). They do mail order, and Naomi's really cool. They are also threatened by a Barnes and Noble moving to Napa.
