An Edwardsville man who pleaded guilty to threatening to assassinate President Trump on Facebook may face up to five years in federal prison.
Joseph L. Pickett published multiple posts on Facebook, threatening to “take the life of, to kidnap, and to inflict bodily harm” against Trump, according to a criminal complaint filed with the charges in June.
“Before I die I want our president and congress to sign a treaty to never side with Russia or any enemy of the United States of America! If one will then that person deserves to be shot,” his post read. “Guess what Trump? I’m waiting for the right time...and I KNOW your (sic) Putin’s (expletive)! The secret service now has a heads up as to my plan to assassinate Trump...let’s see if they act.”
He went on to taunt the Secret Service, saying “am I really going to have to kill trump before our fine Government (the jack booted thugs they are) actually takes me into custody for threatening to assassinate President Donald Trump?”

if what he posted is accurate, he is looking for 3 hots and a cot for a few years. IMO.
the sentence should be 5 to 10 times that long for what he did. IMO
One down and several million to go...
Insanity is a form of mass psychosis.
Amazing how people are just snapping left and right over fake garbage on CNN. Think they could be held liable? Inciting riot? At least encouraging drooling.
He wants to murder the President of the United States. I think sending him to prison is a pretty good idea. Let the boy cool off a little.
Is this dude any kin to mad maxine??
or are they both reading outta the DNC daily talking points?

I guess he got his answer.
He should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. We keep learning how all these mass murderers were hiding in plain sight. It’s time to start paying attention to them.
Wonder if this goofball knew the baseball park shooter... or if he teaches journalism at SIU-E.
Somehow the Iran deal just blew right by him...
So does Maxine Waters. Can she go to jail?
I would think it is the latter rather than the former. IMO.
This Dude really swallowed the Fake “Russian” News Hook, Line and Sinker.
The Media should be charged as Accessories.
Maybe the law caught a potential Sandy Hook, Las Vegas, So. Carolina church or Texas church mass murderer.
He sounds seriously and dangerously ill. He won’t be missed.
