VENT ... Peaceful people wishing harm to the president

[sha_lyn]

I was just on another board I post on and I am furious. These so called peace loving anti war "people" were discussing how to find a terminally ill patient in a hospic to Assinate President Bush. They claimed it was all harmless "we hate Bush fun". I think these people are sick. They don't want us to disarm a dictator who has murder millions of his own people, because they want
peace. However they wish that someone would murder our president. These people are IDIOTS.

You may want to alert the authorities as even making idle threats against the life of the President is a crime.

 

[sha_lyn]

I am seriously considering that.

 

[jamsmom]

I think it would be wise. There could be a lurker on that board who could get ideas.

 

[Jeff in BigD]

I would. They have people that will look into it & determine the information.

 

[sha_lyn]

It is done

Now I'm worried that those wackos will start bothering me. I was the only person to reply that was agaisnt what they were saying.If worse comes to worse I'll unsubscribe from that site and change my e mail. I just wish I hadn't responed to the post.

You could make a 2nd ID to post a similar post I guess.

Regardless, I would be cautious to what personal information you let out after this.

Did you forward the web address to the secret service or what?

 

[sha_lyn]

FBI. They have a online form to fill out with any tips. It was started for 9/11 but is open to any "tips". Didn't find anything like that for the SS.

 

[Jeff in BigD]

I'm sure it got to the appropriate people. Have you asked the mods to close it?

 

[olena]

I doubt the FBI will see any humor in it.

 

[Mermaid02]

And the Secret Service CERTAINLY won't find it humorous at all.... remember the One Day at a Time episode when the secret service shows up at the Cooper household because the Mom wrote a letter to the president?

 

[jipsy]

can't you delete your own post?

 

[gepetto]

Why do you still visit that site if everyone there's so wacko?

 

[sha_lyn]

Well I should stay away from their version of a debate board. That is where such talk goes on. I popped in on their "debate" board to see what they were saying about the War. I usually just get a pretty good laugh because some of the ideas are very "out there" IE some are saying there that Presidnet Bush is not a president but a dictator, and will never allow us to vote for president again.

I would have deleted except for the fact that it there had already been several post after it, and deleting it would probably cause even more problems.

 

[caitycaity]

i think you did the right thing by reporting it.

i'm sorry but that had me laughing pretty hard.

I'm glad you contacted the FBI. That is exactly the kind
of thing we can not afford to let happen in this country.
No matter how people feel about the president, any
kind of plan to harm him is outrageous. I personally
detest him but would never wish him any harm-unless
you consider hoping he loses the next election harm.
I am very anti-war ( of any type), a democrat and a
pretty major liberal. I surround myself with like minded
folks and I can honestly say I've never heard anyone
wish harm to the president. Please don't think all of
us are out there doing that. Your initial post did lump us
all together.

No my post did not such thing. It was speaking directly about the people posting there on that thread.

I agree that these people are "over the top" for lack of a less politically correct term, but to call them "peaceful"... ... NOT!

I have seen and heard some really crazy things in my time but always repeat to myself "consider the source". Chances are these people are kids or loons who have no life. I cannot imagine how many threats top leaders get on a minutely basis that are baseless. They will, no doubt, file these with the others.

I would avoid this board at all costs, sha_lyn. And don't let it get to you.
