I get it — politics holds no place for niceties. Critics and the media throw around accusations and insulates as casually as baseballs. But despite your political persuasion, threatening to kill someone is a little excessive.
In the case of a young immigrant living in California, his Facebook death threats to Donald Trump landed him in prison and may send him home.
The Blaze shares more details:
While U.S. prosecutors have not charged 23-year-old Emadeldin El-Sayed with a crime, immigration authorities arrested him last month at the Los Angeles-area flight school he attended and now are trying to deport him, attorney Hani Bushra said Wednesday.
“It seems like the government was not able to get a criminal charge to stick on him, so they used the immigration process to have him leave the country,” Bushra said. “The rhetoric is particularly high in this election, and I just feel he got caught up in the middle.”
U.S. Secret Service agents interviewed El-Sayed in early February after he posted a photo of Trump on Facebook and wrote he was willing to kill the billionaire, Bushra said.
“I am willing to kill Donald Trump and serve a life sentence,” wrote El-Sayed on Facebook, his lawyer told Egyptian Streets. “[T]he whole world would thank me for doing that.”…
Immigration and Customs Enforcement said in a statement that El-Sayed was arrested because he violated “the terms of his admission to the United States.”
El-Sayed argued, “I don’t know why would they think I am a threat to the national security of the United States just because of a stupid post.” Just a stupid post… What about all the previous, life threatening posts that authorities have ignored?
It’s pretty common to hear someone say, “It’s all fun and games, until someone gets hurt.” But as we’ve seen many times over, that “hurt,” could potentially be avoided by assertive action. That is what law enforcement is trying to do in this case.
Wars are no longer fought solely with boots on the ground or planes in the air. It may be a little late, and possibly a little misguided, but I’m relieved to see the authorities taking initiative in actively monitoring and questioning what happens in the realm of social media.
Has he been invited to dinner at the White House yet?
He El-sayed the wrong thing.
El-Sayed argued, “I don’t know why would they think I am a threat to the national security of the United States just because of a stupid post.”
Because posts like that have a way of coming true from people just like you, scum. Hit the bricks.
Happy now, Crazy Beck? You should be in jail along with him.
This is my biggest concern, that he, the media, and all the who post lies about Mr. Trump, will whip the crazies into doing real violence toward him.
“I am willing to kill Donald Trump and serve a life sentence,” wrote El-Sayed on Facebook, his lawyer told Egyptian Streets. “[T]he whole world would thank me for doing that.”…”
Right, because I saw Beck on CNN say that “Trump is Hitler”.
So he would be saving the whole world, I guess.
Maybe someone else who watches CNN or listens to Beck will take up this noble cause.
We never learn.
there are rules ya know
He should never have been allowed to come here in the first place.
Uhh..the muzzies kinda dig Hitler; that whole Jew and oven thing gets them off..
I wonder if he realizes that it is a death sentence he would most likely receive.
El-Sayed is all you need to know. Al-said is a little more clear.
Let me see...
Muslim supremacist... Check.
Attending flight school... Check.
Brags about wanting to kill a high-profile American... Check.
Hmmm - For the life of me I just can't see any possible reason to consider him to be a potential threat.
Which rule pertains here? I want to make sure I invoke it appropriately.
Yes, the whole world of youthful socialists who think they should get a monthly check in perpetuity just for being born.
Oh, I see — she’s the author. No rule necessary here — you have my permission to include her photo in any thread.
You win the thread...again!
I was about to highlight the “flight school” detail. We are slow learners.
