So some young fool threatened to take out President Trump in a hard kill. He gets decades in prison.
Obama and his accomplices attempted a soft kill of the President. They write books, get TV gigs and make millions.
In both ways the effect on the nation would have been the same: the removal of the President.
Something is very wrong when one is punished with hard time and the other is handsomely rewarded.
“Something is very wrong when one is punished with hard time and the other is handsomely rewarded.”
There is a lot more to this than just that. This is not the first person to be jailed for threatening a current or past president.
Stephen J. Taubert is another example. First, the Syracuse man repeatedly called a senators office in Washington and said he planned to kill former President Barack Obama. Later, the same man, Stephen J. Taubert, called the California office of Representative Maxine Waters, a Democrat, and vowed to kill her and her staff members. Mr. Taubert, 61, was sentenced to 46 months in prison just for the phone calls.
But the guy in this article, Shawn Christy, pulled a lot of bad things off. Federal officials said after making threats online, Christy went on a three-month crime spree, breaking into homes, businesses like Hazleton Oil where he used to work, Skipper Dipper in Schuylkill County, even the Scranton School for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing. Police said he stole food, firearms, and vehicles in a total of six states and Canada before being caught in Ohio.
It’s a little more than just threatening a president which is normally enough to get you time and dime. But he broke so many federal laws with the weapons thefts, car thefts going across state and national lines, and threatening lethal force on local police, he earned his 20 years and fines.
