From what she posted on Face book it looks like a free speech thing. I can't see how they can say she communicated a threat from her statement. Then again I'm not a lawyer.

I must say that anybody that has a public face book or twitter account is a moron so maybe they will charge her with being a moron.

Ping.

We are now held within a truly Stalinist system. It will be difficult to trust anyone or anything but most especially to speak freely and without fear. Silence is golden because speaking freely, as in the good old days, will land you in prison or very, very dead.

I would rather be labeled paranoid than prophetic. Unfortunately I fear the reverse will become reality.

Better yet, drop that Obama mouthpiece, aka “Facebook”, completely from your life. Your life will thank you.

U.S. Code Section 871.
It reads: “Whoever knowingly and willfully deposits for conveyance in the mail or for a delivery from any post office or by any letter carrier any letter, paper, writing, print, missive, or document containing any threat to take the life of, to kidnap, or to inflict bodily harm upon the President of the United States, the President-elect, the Vice President or other officer next in the order of succession to the office of President of the United States, or the Vice President-elect, or knowingly and willfully otherwise makes any such threat against the President, President-elect, Vice President or other officer next in the order of succession to the office of President, or Vice President-elect, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than five years, or both.”

They won’t enforce immigration laws, but will enforce a law that doesn’t apply. We may as well leave in Oceania where there are no laws, but you know what’s expected of you and you remain silent or fail to comply at your own risk.

Corrected to reflect reality: “ ... threat to take the life of, to kidnap, or to inflict bodily harm upon **a Democratic** President of the United States, the President-elect, the Vice President or other officer ... “
Moonbats made daily threats on Dubya’s life, on the internet, on signs, in public for eight years without any legal repercussions, and it was considered a bold and brave thing to do and they were applauded by others of their stripe.
So yeah, it was a stupid thing to write—”Maybe he will get assassinated this term..!!”—but 1.) she didn’t threaten his life, and 2.) the 1st Amendment protects stupidity, Democrats’ stupidity, that is, but apparently not critics of the Cipher. In fact the 1st Amend. allows us to quickly identify Democrats in newspaper editorials so we don’t waste any more of our time reading.
For the umpteenth time this administration ignores the law, here to intimidate a (potentially deadly) ice cream scooper who is obviously not on the `Hope and Change’ love-train. Next it won’t be enough to keep your opinions to yourself and to admit that two and two make five; indeed, we will find that we are expected to love Big Brother.
It’s gonna be a long four years.

How many times do we have to remind people?!

If you want to say things like that say them about a black conservative American.. if you want to wish death on someone make sure that it is someone who is likely to vote Republican.

BTW, unless you are interested in a career in the MSM make sure to include a statement that you do not intend your comments to be an audition for a job on MSNBC or such.

"We found her comments to be very disgusting, and they do not reflect our opinions here," Kegle said. "We never saw anything from her at work like those comments."

So exercising protected speech (political) can now cause you to lose your job.

I would say being on FR is far more dangerous than being on Facebook.

The Secret Service exists for one reason: to preserve their fat retirement pensions.

We’re dealing with a bunch of 50 IQ mercenary traitors who decided to throw in their chips with the commie Buckwheat.

This is not your daddy’s SS nor the SS portrayed by Clint in movies.

“Silence is golden because speaking freely, as in the good old days, will land you in prison or very, very dead.”

You have it backwards, SatinDoll.

You speak freely and if anyone tries to land you in prison, you slit their throat. That calls for a modicum of martial skills. If you don’t have these skills, find them.

We are at war. Prepare to protect your family.

I’m 60-years old, sergeant. Old age and treachery are my weapons.

I know of which you speak. I mostly rely on hornswoggle myself. Now that I’ve used up half the alphabet I know, I’m going to bed.
