Secret Service
Is the heroic Secret Service starting to pick up lone wolf conspirators who make threats?
Steven Joseph Christopher, 42, was taken into custody by the Secret Service in Brookhaven, Miss., and charged with threatening to assassinate Obama for what he claimed was “the country’s own good,” federal prosecutors said.
The criminal complaint was sealed until Christopher’s appearance in federal court.
Yeah. He’s the guy who’d been using a million different names to post questions here about Obama “in THAT regard’. I guess he thought he’d be anonymous behind his monitor. They’re zeroing in on stuff like that since they updated the ECHELON program to include web-crawlers. Now if they’ll turn their attention to his 12-year old brother who’s been doing the same thing here the last few days….
And for those who claim he’s ‘only’ exercising his free speech rights: ‘advocating’ and ‘soliciting’ and ‘threatening’ are all criminal acts. Free speech does NOT include the right to yell ‘Fire’ in a crowded theater, nor its equivalent on-line. Their political affiliation doesn’t matter, nor should it. It’s unnecessary, juvenile, dangerous and stupid.
Or put it another way: they’re free to do it, but they’ll also suffer the consequences. The Law of Cause-and-Effect. Action-and-Consequence.
