A 24-year-old man from Ohio has been charged in a federal court after tweeting a threat to assassinate President-elect Donald Trump on election night. Zachary Benson, from Fairview Park in Cleveland, posted the remark on Twitter a few minutes before the Republican nominee was declared the winner of last week's election.
Benson tweeted: 'My life goal is to assassinate Trump. Don't care if I serve infinite sentences. That man deserves to decease (sic) existing.' Seconds earlier he tweeted: 'Diplomacy. F***ing fools. I hate you all. I want to bomb every one of your voting booths and your general areas.'
Benson was arrested a few hours later and interviewed by the Secret Service.

Revenge is a meal served best cold. Send thins to every employer for the next three four years. After that, cut him slack.

Don't care if I serve infinite sentences.That may be difficult, Zach. But let's see if we compromise. How does 10,000 years sound to you?
To: SanchoP
Is he liberal?? Aren’t liberals peaceful and nonviolent??
Remember after the Tucson shooting, when liberals told us we are not to use violent imagery or violent/military metaphors, because use of same could provoke those not of sound mind???
Well, did this guy, if for sake of argument we say he was speaking metaphorically, know that he violated liberals own standards of decorum????
To: SaveFerris
Starting in early on the muzzie beard. May help when he loses the bar of soap.
To: bobsunshine
I guess Master Zach missed that lesson about threatening violence in eighth-grade civics class...oh, wait...
