A man was arrested in Los Angeles after making a threat on George Bush's life last week during a phone call to an ex-girlfriend, who alerted the police.
A bail hearing was scheduled today for Charles Madrid, a 50-year-old radio technician who allegedly threatened the US president's life.
"Committing this murder is not a murder, it's making a difference for the people," court papers say the former girlfriend, Wanda O'Hickey-Way, quoted Madrid as saying. "I'm going to kill who needs to be killed."
According to an affidavit, LAPD officers arrived at his home last Tuesday, and one asked Madrid, "Do you want to kill the president?"
"Yes," Madrid replied.
Madrid lives with his mother, Rachel Madrid-Hall. She conceded Madrid has a temper, but said: "He's not a maniac. I think he was speaking out of frustration."

ROTF!!
He’s 50 and still lives with his mama! The guy definitely “has issues”.
Obviously, this “man” who lives in his mom’s basement is a lib.
No conservative man would ever date a woman with a hyphenated name.
Ahem.
LOL, That one made me snort my coffee on my shirt you jerk.....
most telling in the piece was the g/f told of the call....it wasn’t , well you know...wire tapping...
Maybe the mom needs home care. I suppose we’d rather have her thrown out on the street. We should take care of our own family members instead of expecting society to do it.
Be fair, maybe mama has special needs and they cannot afford a nursing home.
You don’t need to invoke the living with mama thing to show aberrant behavior in one who admits to wanting to assassinate the president.
What’s next, red wine with haddock?
Well said, better than I did.
She just wants to dissociate herself, and I don’t blame her. This guy’s a nutcase moonbat. Plus, different states have different rules about recording telcons.............
I think it’s igpay atinlay.
Bytheway, I suspect that “sound engineer” translates in this case to “part-time roadie.”
