Hillsborough Hog Day is coming up at the end of next week. One of the organizers is a man named Al Hartkopf, who once threatened @UNC students with mass murder. Here's what he had to say about the protesters who pulled down Silent Sam last year. @KevinGuskiewicz #silentsam
I don't think Al Hartkopf was serious about carrying out his mass murder threat, but I'd be surprised if he wasn't in that minority of Americans who own a gun or four. He was just putting it out there, maybe hoping his ACTBAC pals would take him up on the suggestion. #silentsam 
And, perhaps, hoping that people like me would see it and think twice about going to a protest where Al Hartkopf might start shooting. It was something I did think about, as I would make my way towards campus for the regular events that began soon after 8/20/18. #silentsam
When it got back to Al Hartkopf that his mass murder threat was getting some media attention, he claimed that his account had been hacked. A transparent lie, but one that's difficult to disprove without some forensic work. #silentsam
I believe that Al Hartkopf may have lost his job at Cisco after his mass murder comment, but he still seems to be involved with Hillsborough Hog Day, a family event sponsored by Sun Trust Bank. @AskSunTrust #silentsam
