It never ceases to amaze me just how fucking stupid some people can be

Ryan Kircher, a 21-year-old man from McMechen, W.Va., has been charged with threatening President Barack Obama in a letter sent in April, WTRF reported Monday.

The letter, which according to the Associated Press was littered with profanity and racial slurs, reportedly concluded with the tag-line "KKK forever." It also included threats against Obama's family.

According to the Secret Service, Kircher allegedly referenced possessing a weapon and having the ability to obtain armor-piercing ammunition.

Kirker is currently being held at Northern Regional Jail on a federal complaint, WTRF reported. He will appear before a federal magistrate judge on Tuesday morning, where he will subjected to a formal handwriting analysis.

Previous records show that Kirker has been arrested on unrelated misdemeanor charges on at least two previous occasions since 2011.

Oh, wait.

14. Not so much stupid, maybe, as someone who is angry and has no where to go with it.
