Discussion: 19-Year-Old Arrested For Alleged Threats To Gun Down CNN Employees

It’s great to see the president being a role model for our young adults, and influencing them to be upstanding members of American society.

By the way, we need to get tough on immigration, dontcha think.

Just like Glenn Beck didn’t know what he was saying on his radio show when he said this:

BECK: Hang on, let me just tell you what I’m thinking. I’m thinking about killing Michael Moore, and I’m wondering if I could kill him myself, or if I would need to hire somebody to do it. No, I think I could. I think he could be looking me in the eye, you know, and I could just be choking the life out – is this wrong? I stopped wearing my What Would Jesus – band – Do, and I’ve lost all sense of right and wrong now. I used to be able to say, “Yeah, I’d kill Michael Moore,” and then I’d see the little band: What Would Jesus Do? And then I’d realize, “Oh, you wouldn’t kill Michael Moore. Or at least you wouldn’t choke him to death.” And you know, well, I’m not sure.

Think about it, who is really "complicit" in this behavior?

It’s too bad the family doesn’t have guns (or so says Dad) are this could have been yet another heartwarming gun story that a certain knowing congressman could blame on ISIS.

Nah. He’ll be labeled a troubled kid that is suffering from mental issues and be given counseling. Now if he was one of those people with lots of melanin we’d see pics of him with tats, showing gang signs and called a low life thug. Because…you know.

Hopefully, this can be settled.”

Yes. But maybe not in the way you envision.

This might be a good time to teach your kid that actions carry consequences.

Nice going, Cheetolini. Someone needs to gag him and glue his fingers together.

WaPo’s article adds that the father was contacted. He said the son doesn’t even have a gun. There are also no guns in the house. Was the kid raving like this at home? If so, what did dear old dad do to calm him the eff down?

Oh, turn off Fox News.

You’re assuming that rehabillitation works.

Trump should be charged as a co-conspirator for baiting his " fine" followers to do harm to the fake news media.

Working as intended. This is precisely what Trump and the GOP and the Faux-News-led alt-right white nationalist cultural resentment propaganda machine wants. There is no arguing otherwise. They’re deliberately riling the base and will claim their hands are clean when the threats and violence they hoped to instigate finally begins. They want their army of would-be brown shirts out there intimidating and chilling all competition.

Meh…lost cause. If he goes to prison, he’ll be joining the skinhead clan in there for protection and only become more of one himself.

Remember the inconsolable nutty that Faux News threw in response to Obama’s relatively mild, intellectualized and somewhat effete rebukes and chastisement of their obvious biases? Ahhhh, good times…

No doubt he will be able to buy a gun next week along with thousands of rounds of ammunition.

That would be an unfortunate defense pleading to become vogue.

“Your Honor, you can’t jail my client, he’ll come out more dangerous and ready to commit violence than the man that stands before us today. The only alternaTive is to set him free, you know, to better protect society.”

I might agree that 90% of trump news coverage is negative. That’s because the Stable Genius is 90% negative.

That’s what happens when you have an administration encouraging violence against the press

‘He didn’t mean any of it’…oh horsepucky. These people listen to the President and his rabid followers who spew fear and loathing all day EVERY day and then when nailed for it, they retreat to ‘we didn’t MEAN it…why aren’t you smart enough to SEE that?’ They are destroying our country, our tolerance, out global relations. When I grew up, MY COUNTRY wanted me to travel. See other cultures. Talk to other people. It never OCCURRED to me to hate non-Americans. I traveled. It was fascinating to meet people. Where the fk did these MOLE PEOPLE come from???

Even if he didn’t mean anything by it other than to annoy and frighten some customer service types, harassing phone calls are not OK. I’m pretty sure there are statutes in both states that include jail time.

And you can blame the gun nuts for creating a climate where when someone says they’re armed and coming to kill you, it’s best to believe them.
