Yeah, umm… what did he think would happen when he threatened the life of a sitting president?
Right? The US government kills people for no reason all the time and this guy thinks he'll be safe after giving them a reason
It's worth pointing out that the victim probably isn't in social circles where the government killing people for no reason all the time gets much attention. Hyperreality is a serious thing, the guy's worldview probably makes it seem like free speech exists, unless it's a bad slur on facebook dot commie.
I mean what was supposed to happen? Are we meant to be scared of the FBI? They can't even take down an overweight elderly man with a combover....
The guy openly posted that the FBI wouldn't dare raid him because they'd get a 45 ACP in the face. I'm no law enforcement apologist but that kind of boast can put people on edge. Specific threats of violence should never be acceptable.
I also prefer my threats of violence to be vague and unactionable.
I'll see you soon.
Not if I see you first.
My god you are such a troublesome priest..
Will no one rid me of this turbulent priest?
I'm not a priest, buddy.
I'm not your buddy, pal
If you post threats on FB against the US president where you specifically name the weapon you own and are going to use?...
Yes.
That's the fun with guns. All you have to do is pull a trigger not be Usain Bolt level fit to be a deadly threat. Wasn't the colt45 first marketed as The Great Equalizer?
a death sqaud in a banana republic ... psychic evaluation in a civilisation ?
