Local police are reportedly planning to charge a man who attended Sen. Patrick Toomey’s (R-Pa.) town hall after he asked the senator a question that was perceived as “threatening.”



The exchange between Toomey and the man, reported by the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, led Bethlehem, Pa., police to remove the man, who law enforcement said they would charge with disrupting a public meeting and disorderly conduct.



According to the Post-Gazette, Simon Radecki of Northampton County asked Toomey a question about a family member in an effort to talk about immigration.



"We've been here for a while. You probably haven't seen the news. Can you confirm whether or not your daughter Bridget has been kidnapped?" Radecki asked the senator.



After several seconds, Radecki then said, "The reason I ask is because that's the reality of families that suffer deportation."Tim Fallon, the CEO of PBS39, which aired last week's town hall, described the exchange to the newspaper as "one of the scariest things that I have ever been a part of."



[...]A spokesman for Toomey called the question "reprehensible."



"Asking questions that are based upon kidnapping a child is not only reprehensible, but it is inherently threatening," Steve Kelly told the newspaper.

I keep finding Christians that believe in original sin but think that the #americanholocaust #slavery #jimcrow doesn't matter today. #racism — Simon Radecki (@simon_radecki) February 27, 2017

The 2nd amendment specifically, as well of the bill of rights generally, were written from the perspective of white supremacists. — Simon Radecki (@simon_radecki) February 26, 2017

Amendment 1: Congress shall make no law...prohibiting free exercise thereof...



Whose religions were "free" at this time? — Simon Radecki (@simon_radecki) February 26, 2017

Amendment 2: A well regulated militia...necessary to the security of a free state...



Again, who is in the "free" state? — Simon Radecki (@simon_radecki) February 26, 2017

Do you have so little faith in your government that you just finished implementing that you need militias to protect the states from it? — Simon Radecki (@simon_radecki) February 26, 2017
