On October 4, 2020, James Dale Reed, 42, of Frederick, Maryland, United States left a letter on the doorstep of a neighbor who had yard signs supporting Joe Biden, 77, and Kamala Harris, 55. Here is what the letter said verbatim with punctuations added for clarity:

“This is a warning to anyone reading this letter. If you are a Biden/Harris supporter, you will be targeted. We have a list of homes and addresses by your election signs. We are the ones with those scary guns. We are the ones your children have nightmares about, the Boogeymen coming in the night. We will not comply or give anything up to Grandpa Biden or Harris, especially our guns. They will have to take them from our cold dead hands. We will not let Biden/Harris turn our country into a communist wasteland. Now for anyone who supports Biden/Harris such as Gabby Giffords, I will personally finish what the retard in California failed to do. I will personally put my Glock 17 to hr head and make damn sure her brains go out the back of her skull, as well as any other anti-gun group leader. Now as for Grandpa Biden and Mrs. Harris, she will be bend over and anally raped by my rifle barrel. Then for the grand end, the both will be executed on national television. I would prefer CNN then every Biden/Harris supporter will understand what the 2nd Amendment is all out. If Biden/Harris want a war, then will get one. Of course, that means Black Lives Matter and Antifa.”
