Repeat email-threat offender apprehended after threatening president and his family
Late last month, Crescent City's John Gimble sent an email describing his plan to brutally murder President Barack Obama's wife and children before finishing with the president himself and then desecrating the corpse with a felt tip marker.
On Tuesday, after an investigation by the Secret Service, Gimble was indicted for threatening the president and is currently in custody.
Authorities have not revealed to whom the email was sent, but if it was president@whitehouse.gov, man, how colossally stupid would that have been?
Then again, Gimble has a history of collossaly stupid behavior, from leaving vulgar messages on a Del Norte County sherriff's answering machine to calling for a posse to hunt down and kill Crescent City's police chief. Over a citation for a broken taillight and a five dollar parking ticket, respectively.
"He probably could stand to benefit from some therapy," quipped attorney John Vrieze, who represented the county in the two previous cases, to the San Francisco Chronicle.

Felt tip marker? Now that’s a bit much.
So my movie about the assassination of Obama won’t get a standing ovation?
Okay, this guy is completely nutterbutter. Lock him a padded cell and keep him away from, well, everyone.
And don’t let him have any markers.
Right, therapy will be just fine.
Wingnut + legislation + threat to the public = Nobel Peace Prize
I really don’t think all this is going to end well. As Obummer angers more and more people I worry about the idiot out there somewhere who isn’t saying anything, just plotting, plotting, plotting!
Why does the title say “wingnut?” I don’t get the impression from this that this guy was politically motivated.
This guy needs to be committed. Oh-I forgot, the lefties had the insane asylums shut down/s
Black skin + smooth line of bulls__t + TV = POTUS
I thought “wingnut” was the not so nice nickname for Obama??
Pick another president and try it again.
And just to be on the safe side, keep him starkers!!!
Probably the early spin - the guy’s threatening Obama, so he must be a right-winger, yadda, yadda.
Personally, I see no immediate evidence of anything but that the guy is completely friggin’ nuts.

“His most recent arrest was for contempt of court and making annoying telephone calls,” Wilson said of Gimball. “He calls my office on average once a week or more. He contacts us and leaves lots of threatening messages.”
Wilson said the Secret Service had picked up Gimball before on suspicion of making threats toward former President George W. Bush.
“The feds have been here several times for Mr. Gimball under the Bush administration and under the Obama administration — he is a non-partisan offender,” said Wilson.
Weren’t there threats against the previous president? movies, books and stuff? No prosecutions there.
Therapy? Thorazine, more like it.
Heh. How many will be harmed by that one, when compared to the loon that sent the email?
Cheers!

People are getting so nutty that it’s almost like you could make a major motion-picture about an assassination attempt on a SITTING PRESIDENT..!!
Oh, wait...
Wingnut was probably unemployed and was looking for a free place to stay!! Free meals, the works!!
Good point!
I wish it weren’t so.
I agree Trisham. It’s a pathetic situation. November 2010 looms massive.
It does indeed. If we don’t see a significant response then, I fear for the future.
So do I.
