HAMMOND - - Threatening the president will get you prison time, even if you were more than 100 miles away when you did it.
U.S. District Court Judge Philip Simon on Tuesday imposed a 30-month sentence on Steffon Gonzalez, 21, of Hobart, who pleaded guilty to posting threatening messages from his home on Facebook against President Trump earlier this spring.
But if Gonzalez had been convicted at trial, he would have faced a maximum penalty of five years for his threats and an additional 20 years for trying to obstruct the federal investigation of his threats by telling his girlfriend to delete his Facebook account.

Chuck E for Leavenworth
Yes, he TOO should be charged. As for the 21 year old basement dweller- from Hammond IN, so less, a Chicago suburb. I’m sure we have been paying for him all along, might as well add a 3 square w/ cot for a few months. I love the “vocational training” requirement too. At least he’ll be out of commission to vote this fall for Bernie
When this punk is released he’ll surely get a gig at MSLSD!
How nuanced. America’s robed mullahs strike again.
Can we parade around the likeness of Nancy Pelosi’s severed, bloody head?
According to her spawn, “she’ll cut your head off and you won’t even know you are bleeding”
Someday jihadis might say, “We had to cut spawn’s head off to find out what was in it”
I dunno...just sayin’
It appears Chuck crossed the line.
What about the Hollywood a-holes who have done this?
Yes, what about threatening Supreme Court Justices? or threatening to spread the coronavirus for political purposes?
Too bad for him he wasn’t a Hollywood celebrity.
Fat Boy

“”ental health treatment.””

Cprrection....“”ental health treatment.””
”mental health treatment.””
