Teen Questioned for Online Bush Threats

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) -- Upset by the war in Iraq, Julia Wilson vented her frustrations with President Bush last spring on her Web page on MySpace.com. She posted a picture of the president, scrawled "Kill Bush" across the top and drew a dagger stabbing his outstretched hand. She later replaced her page on the social-networking site after learning in her eighth-grade history class that such threats are a federal offense.

It was too late.

Federal authorities had found the page and placed Wilson on their checklist. They finally reached her this week in her molecular biology class.

The 14-year-old freshman was taken out of class Wednesday and questioned for about 15 minutes by two Secret Service agents. The incident has upset her parents, who said the agents should have included them when they questioned their daughter.

On Friday, the teenager said the agents' questioning led her to tears.

"I wasn't dangerous. I mean, look at what's (stenciled) on my backpack - it's a heart. I'm a very peace-loving person," said Wilson, an honor student who describes herself as politically passionate. "I'm against the war in Iraq. I'm not going to kill the president."

Isn't it nice to know that the "peace-loving" Left is producing such nice "peace-loving" young Americans?

She has been taught a very important lesson. Don't suggest killing a President. If Hillery had been President, I am sure the Secret Service would have acted in the same manner. In fact....no, on second thought, I won't go there.....

She learned something in school. I am glad she took her site down, I am also glad that the Secret Service questioned her. Maybe this will teach her, and her friends and family, that threatening to kill the POTUS, no matter what ones reason is (nor how pure ones politics or how peace-loving one is), Not A Good Idea.

Maybe she'll learn next in class that the blood of soldiers fighting in a WAR is what gives her the right to be a socialist peace-nick....
I won't hold my breath on that one...

***** like this one are what gulags are made for.

[Random Access]

Clinton would have sent them to find out when she gets her braces off.

She posted a picture of the president, scrawled "Kill Bush" across the top and drew a dagger stabbing his outstretched hand.

Obviously learned it from her parents.

Saw her on t.v.. The fact that her parents let her wear such low cut blouses tells me all I need to know about where she gets her values from. I'm no prude, but that girl might as well have been topless.

As Rush might say, this is what happens when teachers fill childrens' minds full with mush.

[JimRed]

Obviously learned it from her parents.

The parents should get a tougher "interview" than the kid did.

LOL!

[ichabod1]

is she cute?

[omega4179]

Socialist Tree Huggers raise STH kids so sure, question the parents. Ask them if she is interested in guns etc.

[1rudeboy]

I'm a very peace-loving person . . . ."

And I am a warmonger, Ms. Wilson. Yet I have never been visited by the authorities. That should make you wonder.

[Screamname]

That`s why liberals can relate to Islam "the religion of peace".

[Free ThinkerNY]

I'll bet she and her mom would look great in burkhas. Their way of making "peace" with Islamic jihadists would eventually have them wearing burkhas and receiving mandatory clitorectomies. Liberal appeasers are fools. They always have been and always will be.

[Jeff Gordon]

Bush hatred among liberals has become so strong and ubiquitous that their kids actually think it is ok to threaten the live of the POTUS.

[geezerwheezer]

And this girl's parents are upset? Where the hell were they when their lil' darlin' posted the death threats on her website? Sounds to me like the parents need a really good can of ass whupin' opened up on them, and the kid needs some jail time too!!

That was my first thought. Where the hell were her parents? But this is Boston and they've elected Kennedy for the past 100 years/s so I'm not surprised.
