[Vision2020] 'Death to Obama' Sign Holder Detained

[Tom Hansen]

Your analogy, Bear, is faulty at best.

Claiming that somebody should be tried, convicted, and justly punished for
committing war crimes is remote to any comparison of a sign depicting
comments such as "Death to Obama and Death to Michelle and Their Two
Children."

The sign, in my opinion meets each of the criterion enumerated in Kai
Eiselein's posting concerning threats to a president.

"A person can be found guilty of that offense only if all of the
following facts are proved beyond a reasonable doubt:

First: That the person uttered words alleged to be the threat
against the President;

Second: That the person understood and meant the words he used as a
true threat; and

Third: That the person uttered the words knowingly and willfully."

Which of these criterion do you feel is not met?

Until tomorrow . . .
