SEATTLE A Seattle city councilwoman who called on protesters to shutdown Donald Trumps inauguration has since received hundreds of angry emails and phone calls, some telling her to kill herself, her office said.
<snip>
Join me, I appeal to you, today at 4 p.m. at Westlake (Park), Sawant told a crowd. Lets have a massive protest and tell America we do not accept a racist agenda and lets make sure that on Inauguration Day, on the 20th and 21st of January, lets do a nationwide shutdown and occupy inauguration.

A (Sawant) staffer was told on phone: 'I will come and tattoo a swastika on your head and on that bitchs head,' Council spokesperson Dana Robinson Slote told Q13 News in an email.
The office was also inundated with emails.
Go back to India bitch, one email read. I am tired of being shamed because Im a white male. You automatically think Im a racist. How about you go the (expletive) back to India or wherever you came from?
Another email accused Sawant of enticing a riot.
We didnt riot with Obama was elected, the email reads. Ever stop to think we see (Obama) as a racist? But we carried on and lived to fight another day. Stop being such a cry baby bitch and go hang yourself.

Here those racist assholes are, 'rioting' away:
I guess it is only ok if they do it.
