Tea Party Leader Surprised by Death Threat [James Eric Fuller - now held for psychiatric evaluation]
Fox News ^ | Jan 16 2011 | Fox News

Posted on 01/16/2011 2:04:24 PM PST by NoLibZone

The co-founder of the Tucson Tea Party said he is worried about the threats he is receiving, including a remark by a shooting victim made to him at a televised town hall meeting.

Trent Humphries told The Associated Press on Sunday he was surprised when shooting victim James Eric Fuller took a picture of him and said "you're dead."

The 63-year-old Fuller was arrested Saturday on disorderly conduct and threat charges and taken for a psychiatric exam.

Authorities say he began ranting at the end of ABC News' forum, at one point calling the audience "whores." The show, videotaped at St. Odilia's Catholic Church in Tucson, featured victims, witnesses, emergency responders and some of those hailed as heroes after the Jan. 8 shooting in which six people were killed and 14 injured.

Was Fuller behind any of the threats before yesterday?

And was the Sheriffs office aware of those threats?

This guy was a party operative who goes for all the unproved hate speech against everyone but the shooter.
IMO Fuller is a nutcase who happened to get shoot by the other left wing nut case.

What was the crime ?

A direct face to face public threat. Making a terroristic threat is and has been a crime in many states for quite a while now, I believe.

They’re going to do a mental evaluation?

How will that help, his test will look just like any other Liberal.

There were twenty people at the Safeway event.

What are the odds that two dabblers in lucid dreams would show at that event?

I don’t understand why the Pima County Sheriff’s Department did not arrest Trent Humphries and hold him for psychiatric evaluation. He is a conservative, you know.

He’s gonna have plenty of time to dream and drool now.

The Democrats will keep this guy under heavy sedation and away from cameras til well after the 2012 election.

Tucson is so full of left-wing whackjobs that when one of them goes on a killing spree, he randomly hits another one.

Any time you’re around those liberal loonies in Pima County, you’re going to get death threats.

Doubt it until it not either self-inflicted or from hitting the ground.

Doubt all about this guy.

And hold your breath waiting for his threat to be condemned by Krugman et al.

The Dems failed with this attempt to foster hate against the Right.

This the same guy? http://www.hypnothoughts.com/profile/JamesEricFuller

Sounds new age-ish to me...AND very disturbed. He wouldn't have happened to know Loughner previously, did he?

Five days of high pitched blood libel from Dem pols and the MSM got Mr. Fuller pretty worked up apparently. The pep rally must have been the real kicker for him.
