This is the question no one seems to be asking publicly - but many are asking privately.
A few of us have considered this in detail, and I will share some of those thoughts over the next few days.
Would it happen here?

Janet, After reading your updated information on the “from hate bloggers” link. I think it could happen. This woman Taryn Thoman is completely out of control. When she finally snapps and it appears that she will, look out. I hope you have forwarded all of her writings to the BPD. I am sure they would be interested in her threats. Good luck to you.

If it happened here would anyone REALLY be shocked?
You only have to read one page of the anger and hatred put forth by this towns conspiracy theorists.
You have been described with profanities and the kind of words designed to cut to the core of hatred of women.
The town manager and people who work for the town are victims of hate and libel.
The [local newspaper] drinks it in and publishes it as front page news, giving these people the attention they want.
Time for metal detectors or some sort of screening process at Barnstable’s own town hall!
They do it at the court houses, why not town halls?
