The fake apology:

“Earlier today a frivolous, insensitive political post went out on Facebook. It should not have. Magnatone is not a political organization, respects the beliefs and opinions of all people, and does business accordingly. I personally share these values of our brand. I sincerely regret this careless mistake, and apologize to anyone, anywhere, who may have been offended. I can assure you that this will not happen again. Thank you.” - Ted Kornblum, Founder and CEO, Magnatone.

Maybe he already had The Visit.

Time that verbal threats that potentially incite violence in the mentall ill members of the Democrat rolls be followed up with a minimum of 6 month jail time.

Perhaps some of our own right wing psychos should put an end to the talking heads themselves. If they start dropping like flys, they will shut up.

You can express your opposition to our political views, but you can not verbalize you the murder of our President.

Time for jail time!

More an incitement to assassination than a threat. But both are illegal.

The fact that the Secret Service hasn't perp walked him to jail, proves that Trump has to do to the Secret Service what he's done to the DOJ - fire the Obama puppet loyalist(s) running the place.

It was appropriate for The Media to ignore this story. Maybe it’s time to realize that inciting violence is hateful and etc.

Note the passive voice. A post just went out on Facebook. Who did it? Nobody knows! And of course it ends with the “sorry if you were offended” non-apology.

Twitter is encouraging these people. I’ve reported several Secret Service visit-level accounts, but the Twitter mods pretend there’s nothing going on.

The next time you report something, tell them that having been duly notified by you (and as such, they are fully aware ) - failure to take proper action ( includes removing account and report to proper authorities ) makes them in violation of 18 U.S. Code § 4 - Misprision of felony and as such are subject to being fined under this title or imprisoned not more than three years, or both.

They don’t have software allowing you to make such comments.

That is good advice.
Actually, you should sent them a letter, cc yourself and an attorney.
Keep their reply.

Thanks for the reference, though - it will come in handy when I talk to the local FBI office of the offending user. 😀

At the time I posted the page had been removed. Now it is a modified version of what the original screenshot showed.

It’s not a “mistake”. “Mistakes” are not followed by yet more of the same “mistakes”. These posts were premeditated.

Calling for the assassination of an elected official is not “frivolous”.

He must resign. Minimally.

“Lock him up with H-> .”

Lock him up, try him and execute. Threatening the President in a public manner may be the catalyst for other to attempt it.

It’s also what needs to be done with Yates.

You’ve gotta just love a CEO calling himself frivolous, insensitive and political in an attempt to save his own hide.
