One voice mail message left Tuesday said, “You tell your husband to redo the unemployment extension because I’m going to come for him.’’

In addition, an e-mail had been sent to Beohner’s office on March 31 declaring, “Well, you drunk John Bin Laden, it’s time to take you out . . . You want to play with 2.7 million peoples’ lives. I am going to take yours. You will never see it coming with my sniper rifle.”

What a dumbass. The SOTH is second in line to the presidency, this is almost as bad as threatening the president.

No wonder he was unemployed.

Does he own a sniper rifle? Does he have any actual means to carry out any of the threats? If the answer is no then he should not be charged with anything.

You left out the part where he wanted to, "rip his (expletive) head off." That part was especially very, very bad of him to say.

American hero, although if I were in the same position I'd have threatened Lindsey G or McInsane. Those scumbags have to go.

Your opinion, and I respect your right to your opinion, but the law says otherwise.

 

[R.C. Christian]

Has anyone ever considered why such scumbags should be given such protection? Even the few who aren't scumbags shouldn't and don't deserve it.

Freedom of speech takes another hit. This is just words and i say hell with it.

Death threats against govt officials should be legal. Governments routinely make death threats against citizens.

You realize there are exceptions ? You can't threaten the president for instance.

You're stupid. You can kill people with a sharpened toothbrush.

Why should there be exceptions.? Esp for the president? Let the bastards fear us.

Why do you always take the side of the govt?

In federal prison, he will get better healthcare than Obamacare can provide. So he has that going for him.

I don't, but we haven't lost anything here. It's always been against the law.

Yeah, sure you would have. Online, only. What a tough guy...


Dangerous lunatics should not be encouraged nor threats to our elected officials tolerated, regardless of partisan position.
