Mable Richards, who threatened St Kitts' High Court Judge, His Lordship the Hon Mr Justice Eddy Ventose on Friday, upped the ante by posting a listing of United States federal judges killed in office stating "he won't be the first."

The listing was posted shortly after the St Kitts and Nevis Bar Association strongly condemned such attacks on the judiciary.

Mable Richards, believed to be a fake profile, is a staunch Team Unity supporter, who stoutly defends Prime Minister and PLP leader, Dr the Hon Timothy Harris and posts policies and make announcements even before some are officially announced.

Mable Richards has threatened Leader of the Opposition, the Rt Hon Dr Denzil L Douglas on several occasions and persons who have publicly criticised Dr Harris, the Team Unity ministers, their programmes and policies.

Dr Douglas has formerly given detailed statements to The Royal St Christopher and Nevis Police Force, which to date have not informed him or the general public of their findings from their investigations.

Prime Minister Harris has over the years remained silent following numerous public calls by Deputy Political Leader of the St Kitts-Nevis Labour Party (SKNLP) and Member of Parliament for St Christopher 2 (Central Basseterre), Hon Marcella Liburd, urging Dr Harris to distance himself and his government from the postings of Mable Richards.

Non-Governmental Organisations including the St Kitts and Nevis Chamber of Industry and Commerce, the St Kitts and Nevis Bar Association, The St Kitts and Nevis Tourism Association, The St Kitts Christian Council, The St Kitts Evangelical Association, The St Kitts Business Forum, the Nevis Christian Council and the Nevis Evangelical Association have also remained silent on the threats to the life of Dr Douglas and other atrocities including widespread corruption, rampant nepotism and cronyism within the Team Unity Government.
