The U.S. Secret Service is investigating the origins of a photo on an Arizona police officer's Facebook page that shows a group of armed youths posing in the desert with what appears to be a bullet-ridden image of President Barack Obama on a T-shirt. Max Milien, a Secret Service spokesman, said on Friday that the agency was looking into the picture taken of seven youths, four of them toting guns, that turned up on the Facebook page of Sergeant Pat Shearer of the Peoria, Arizona, police department. 'Any time information is brought to our attention where an individual or a group of individuals expresses unusual direction of interest in one of our protectees, we conduct appropriate follow-up,' said Milien.

Yet they ignored a hanged by the neck Effigy of a whitey state Governor.

Maybe they were using Obama's cracker side for target practice?

But they’re from Arizona.

Jan Brewer made them do it.

Who said they'd get a trial? Remember who we're talking about here.

How stupid are these guys? The Secret Service doesn't take their job lightly and no doubt when it's repeated, the caption will include right wing teenagers threaten president.

To be young and stupid again instead of being old and stupid.

There was nary a word from the press or the left when Bush was done the same way over and over.

Please post some details! We should make a big deal out of this.

I’ve said Obama is the Terrorist in our White House having caused more damage to this country than the Islamic terrorists. It is a nightmare that we have Obama as president and it seems to me the plan to put him in office was put into action many years ago. I fear for our republic. I read an article a few days ago about many laws passed supposedly because of the Y2K hoax which are as frightening as anything under Obama. Someone may want to comment on that if they have knowledge of what happened regarding legislation back then.

So, what would be the charge? If all they made publicly was this photo, without comments or threats, what is the charge?

Do you think they’d be charged with “Threatening the President”? Without stating what, why and how they came to be in the picture or to post this picture online?

If they can be found and identified, and also the poster of the picture, they’d no doubt be questioned by the Secret Service. But not charged. This is no illegal act per se.

Years ago, we had a FReeper here named Gonzo, who posted on a Clinton thread (when Clinton was still RIPOTUS) that the Clintons should be strung up on lamp posts. Later (some weeks or months), he posted to us all about how the Secret Service “visited” him and they all had a nice, little “chat.” I remember him say that the SS agent told him that subsequently whenever the President of the US, no matter who it was, came to vist his state (Gonzo’s, that is), the SS would pay him a visit to ensure he was “OK”.

Gonzo, if you’re still hear, did I get any of that wrong?

Only, unlike Carter, he should have to sense God gave a maggot, and GO AWAY after being rejected.

Where is the ACLU?! Isn't this nothing more than free speech...a political statement and not a threat?
