A federal jury convicted a Lawrence man Thursday for threatening to kill U.S. Rep. Jake LaTurner. Chase Neill faces up to 10 years in federal prison for one felony count of threatening a public official.

In fact you can threaten supreme court justices from the steps if you are a senator.

This is the first time I've heard of this story, and I live in Kansas. The media everywhere has covered it up very effectively.

We all know had a Democrat lawmaker been threatened, it would be national news for months.

Your post reminded me of Cayler Ellingson, that boy who was run down in the street by rat scum. Somehow the media hasn’t followed up much. I looked it up and see that the vermin is going to trial in May. Remember Cayler Ellingson

[[A federal jury convicted a Lawrence man Thursday for threatening to kill U.S. Rep. Jake LaTurner. ]]

Well now, that’s gonna piss old Chase Niell off.

[[Neill declared himself “son of God,” the “Messiah” and “Ephraim” after making claims about conversations around witchcraft]]

And they found him competent to stand trial and to represent himself even?

Yes, that was a disgusting incident that received virtually no coverage.
