Threaten the President's Life on Craigslist, And You're Going to Federal Prison for Two Years

By Robert Wilonsky Mon., Nov. 1 2010 at 5:00 PM

You remember Brian Dean Miller, right? Sure you do. He's the 43-year-old Northeast Dallas man who, back in March, posted to Craigslist's "Rants & Raves" section an item titled "Obama must die." Among its highlights, reminds the U.S. Attorney's Office today, he wrote: "People the time has come for revolution. It is time for Obama to die. I am dedicating my life to the death of Obama." That was his first post. Then came another one in which he wrote, "I am actively working to kill the president and destroy the U.S. government. ... This is war. Join me. Or don't. I don't care. I'm not laying down anymore."

Right. That guy.

Anyway. The U.S. Attorney's Office just sent word: Miller, whose postings were brought to Secret Service's attention by a concerned citizen in Arlington, was sentenced today by U.S. District Judge David C. Godbey, who gave Miller 27 months in federal prison -- far shorter than the five-year sentence he faced following his arrest and April arraignment. He'd tried to get out on bail in June. The judge said: Nope, too dangerous. He pleaded guilty one month later, before his trial was set to start.

Ptbarnum, you sir (or madam) are an imbicile. You specifically say this country is toast, but then you say you want to cry. What is your trip? Are you a homosexual? Or maybe a masturbationist? Do you like menthol cigarettes? Is your Momma named Mona? These are the true questions of life. Answer them and you will have found the secret of Nymph.

This country is toast. Why don't we all admit defeat? There's nothing left but the left. I wish I was born in Amsterdam. I want to cry. I hate my government. The only solution...is death.

Boy

He is in jail for being a patriot of the United States. Obama is a danger to this country and the Democratic party is his machine. Some one has to stop this shit or it is over.I can't. I have no legs, one arm, too old and no money.

Bingie

fuck you too.

Someone needs to off that nigger. Damn shame words can get you into shit under the dictatorship. Americans need to stand up and be counted. If you aren't standing on your feet and fighting then you're laying down and surrendering.

Money For Nothing

The comments in this thread as especially funny considering the outright ass kicking the Democrats sustained on Tuesday evening.

Balh

The future is here. The United States government locks you up for thought crime.

Seems like a complete numpty to me, but at $40k a year it will cost americans a fortune, maybe they could have handled it better?

So, when are they gonna give the same treatment to people who threaten online to kill others - just not the President?

dundee

Well, at least when he gets out, Fox ''News'' will offer him a job.....

@Lou Diggsman

Publicly threatening to kill anyone, let alone the President, is not protected by the first amendment.

I didn't like Bush, but it would bother me just as much if someone had threatened him.

Lou Diggsman

Wow, the kangaroo courts are a JOKE. How is this dude dangerous? I dont get it? Is there no longer "Freedom of Speech"? I ralize most of the Constitution went out the window with the Bush Regime but this is ridiculous!

Guess the real lesson here is to MASK your IP address when you speak your mind online!

@Dr. huh: "It's so funny to see people just assume that anyone associated with the Tea Party is a whack job, a racist, and agrees with Sarah Palin ...."

To make such a broad generalization about the members of the Tea Party is, of course, wrong. Honestly through, anybody who thinks their taxes are too high when both the Federal income tax rate and the overall Federal tax rate are at historically low levels while at the same time wanting to spend $1 trillion on Defense and Homeland Security in addition to building a 3000 mile long wall and patrolling it with armed guards when we have a national debt of almost $14 trillion has to be a bit whacky ... or slept trhough high school economics class. :-P

Montemalone

Whack jobs are purely repubs.Half-brained hypocrites are the true teabaggers.

Suburban Idiot

I don't think everyone associated with the Tea Party is a whack job, but the movement as a whole attracts this specific kind of whack job.

Dr. huh

@dR rALPH,

do be a puss, go ahead and say it, no one will get mad, but you truly meant to replace Tea Party with KKK. Its so funny to see people just assume that anyone associated with the Tea Party is a whack job, a racist, and agrees with Sarah Palin, my how the left has dumbed itself down, it fact the left is so naive, they are going to let the same people they think are idiots, vote them out of office, who looks dumb now

Daniel

He'll have a long and lucrative career as a Fox commentator ahead of him.

MushMouth

His mistake was not first becoming a candidate or a talking head on radio or tv before making his statements.

Odds are he'll have a paid political consultant gig lined up the moment he gets out of the joint.

Dr. Ralph

I would place the over/under on the number of Tea Party rallies this man attended at 6.

M.I. Blue

So this guy threatened the life of the very president whose health care plan will provide him with mental help when he is paroled. Politics, thy name is Irony.
