JoAnna St. Germain is a teacher at Maine's Waterville Senior High School who did what would have been considered unthinkable five minutes ago when she publicly and in writing called for the deaths of Donald Trump and all of us who voted for him last week.
No kidding. Like, really. And she said so right here.
According to a report published Wednesday by the Maine Wire, St. Germain wrote that the Secret Service “has the perfect opportunity” to act and “take out every single person who supports Trump’s illegal, immoral, unconstitutional acts.”
She also said:
"If I had the skill set required, I would take them out myself."
Skillset like what? Guts? She might not have what it takes to get through to the president, but shouldn't have any problem doing in anybody else who supports him. I don't have a security detail following me around, and I bet none of you do either. But there she is, with what leftists have called a punchable face, inciting somebody... anybody out there to commit murder on her behalf. She got a tiny bit of blowback on the post and modified her statements later to say:
I’m not talking about assassinating a president. (Yes you are.)
A president is a person duly elected by the American people. [Yes he was.]Tr*mp has shamelessly bragged openly about stealing the election. [No he hasn't.]

She also went on later to say she was only calling for the murder of Trump and the people around him (whatever that means) and not the voters who voted for him, as if that made anything better. And it doesn't. This one is a certified headcase, but it doesn't mean she's harmless. As a member of the Whoville Shock Troopers who infect the public school system that we all pay for, St. Germain has decided not to teach curricula and incite serial murder instead. Well, okay. That's bad. But she still has a job and isn't behind bars. That's worse.
And that's worse because, like permitting theft under $950 in stolen goods, it just invites more of the same. I don't know where the Secret Service is on this. Hell, I don't know where the local police are on this. The Waterville Superintendent of Public Schools issued a weak, weak statement saying,
In response to the incident, Waterville Public Schools Superintendent Peter Hallen assured the community that safety measures were being implemented and that the situation was under active investigation. He emphasized the importance of due process and the safety of students and staff as top priorities.
Didn't fire her but he's implementing safety measures. Safety measures? Like what kind of safety measures? Is Ms. St. Germain teaching her classes from inside a giant acrylic hamster ball now? Does she have to pass through a metal detector before entering the school? Has the school paid for security teams to guard the conservative parents in the neighborhood? Likewise, the police department is underperforming as well.
The Waterville Police Department, led by Interim Chief William Bonney, is collaborating with federal law enforcement and school officials to ensure the safety of the community. Chief Bonney stated that while he could not comment on open matters, the department was taking appropriate steps in coordination with relevant authorities.
The woman just called for the murder of a duly elected U.S. president and his supporters. If they're not going to throw her butt in jail, just what exactly are they doing to "ensure the safety of the community?" Probably nothing because it's all just newspeak for sitting on hands until public pressure gets too high. And in Maine, it probably never will. Not a lot of Republicans there. So that leaves FBI Director Kash Patel and Secret Service Director Sean Curran to do something. Hope they do. If they don't, plan on seeing more of these violent Whos posting more violent calls for murder in the future. The last guy to actually take a shot at Trump was a kid right out of high school. The next one might be one of St. Germain's kiddos trying on his cap and gown right now.
Progressive zealots are increasingly resorting to violence and terrorism because they failed at the ballot box.
