It's All About The Intimidation

An American version of facism gets an Arizona foothold:
Phoenix police have beefed up their security detail for Mayor Phil Gordon after he received death threats apparently spurred by his opposition to the state's new immigration law.

Cmdr. Jeff Hynes, who oversees Gordon's security detail, says the mayor has received several specific death threats, and one claimed he would be killed by sniper fire.

The mayor is under round-the-clock surveillance, and The Arizona Republic reports the heightened security includes plainclothes officers outside his north Phoenix home while he sleeps.
