Maryland man arrested for email threat to behead Obama over his handling of ISIS, Ebola

Source: Raw Story

Christopher Perkins O’Brien, of Annapolis, was arrested on Thursday and charged with making a violent threat against the president and threatening bodily harm against the presidential family in an email sent to the White House website on Oct. 16, according to court documents.

O’Brien was also charged with using interstate communications to make the threats, the documents said.


In the email, Obama is called “stupid” and a racial slur for his handling of ISIS, beheadings in the United States and of the Ebola outbreak before he is threatened with physical violence.

“I … hope to reach out to slash Michele’s throat… You?? I will make a point to behead you, then throw your head into the nearest body of water, as I drive off into Maryland,” O’Brien is accused of writing, according to charging documents first reported by The Baltimore Sun.

It is the media's fault everyone is so freaked out. This idiot needs to be locked up but the media has many people thinking ISIS is in the country carrying Ebola on their back! It is ridiculous!

Meanwhile the media is AWOL on things that really matter like the fact we continue to run an unrestricted science experiment on the only atmosphere we have to live in! It is ridiculous!

And they project the blame onto the black man in the White House, knowing there's a sizable portion of their audience that wants to hear that kind of crap to reinforce what they want to believe.

O'Brien was convicted in 2007 of manslaughter in the strangulation death of a 32-year-old female friend, the paper has reported. He served part of a 10-year sentence for the crime, which was later reduced to involuntary manslaughter.

How on earth could strangling someone to death EVER be "reduced to involuntary manslaughter"?

Like all these dickheads are.

"Muh furss menmen rites habben violated! Help! Help! I'm being repressed!"

Notice this shit only seems to crop up when a Democrat's in the White House?

Started with that plane crash attempt at Clinton. Correct me if I'm wrong if there's been a few before that one. Seems like that's where it's gotten bold ever since, though.

The Smedley Butler shenanigans.

Difference is, though, the shenanigans against Democrat presidents has been with those with money and power facilitated by traitors.

Today, it's those guys and common citizens, which complicates things much greater.

He sent the email to the White House website for crying out loud.

The chances of this dude getting close to the Obamas at all, much less for long enough to do what he claims, is essentially nil.

The real threats to the Obamas are ones we don't hear about.
