The others, naturally, miss the true culprits here and blame the girls (the true culprits being the school administration and a few witchburners).

Does that blogger realize just saying you want to assassinate the POTUS, whether he means it or not is a crime that can sentence you to life?

Yes, though practically speaking - it means the Secret Service will investigate you to assess the threat potential.
Threatening to kill someone or even asserting/announcing that someone needs to be killed is a crime in the US -- various laws pertaining to inciting violence. It is insufficiently enforced and too much tolerance is placed on "he was just in the heat of the moment" defenses.

Why do we have to pay them if they don't have to work? If Republican senators choose not to work, fine, but they should give their salaries back. It can go towards paying down the deficit or hiring people to polish the various statues in Washington, I don't care which. At a time of economic crisis, we can use Mitch McConnell's $193,400 salary far more effectively than on a guy who insists he only needs to work from 9am to 2pm each day. Same goes for every senator that goes along with this.

A bit late ....
The secret service goes on a witch-hunt when dealing with such threats . During Bush era a 14 year old kid was arrested for posting suggesting Killing Bush on his MySpace page . Not only did Secret Service take her into custody and question her . Without the presence of a lawyer or guardian present despite being a minor . Yep on MySpace and albeit given it was Bush Era this itself would be a reason for Code Red . Okay here is the article While here we are dealing with an Adult and the wording used is Assassinate .

Pro tip on that...the Secret service doesn't treat anything like a joke. Which makes sense, since some of the biggest threats to their wards come from crazy people with big mouths who everyone assumes is just kidding around. From the Services perspective, taking these kind of comments at face value is entirely reasonable.
At my old high school when Prez Clinton was visiting to make a speech, one of the students made a similar kind of remark. He also found himself locked in a room with a number of pissed off burly agents. |
