Sounds like America has a serious problem there.

Apparently the threats come from all over. It’s not just crazy Americans

He never gunned them down. He allegedly threatened to. Stop acting so above everyone for once in your life.

So it's not terrorism until it involves deaths then? Terrorizing journalists into silence with threats of violence sure feels like textbook definition of terrorism.

There's an interesting notion. Wonder what the annual threat counts for CNN was during other Presidents' administration versus Donald "Fake News" Trump.


It was probably less and poor travelers got see real news before the new age of constantly screeching panel members. Imagine being trapped with nothing but modern CNN to watch. I can't think of a worse fate.

Someone said earlier that CNN aren't reporting this.

While it's not impossible that this is the case, it is very, very unlikely.

I didn’t say that it was the case here. Nor did I say it was extremely likely but that it was out of the realm of possibility. Reading comprehension is fun!

I bet they don't charge him with Attempted Terrorism or whatnot. I mean, he threatened to shoot up the place for political purposes, to me, that is a threat of Terrorism if I ever heard one.


And I bet you if Trump were to comment, he would say that this kid is "one fine young gentlemen" and deserves to be let go.

Are we sure that Trump would say that and not something like this? “He’s the best. The bestests, the very best. Very good guy. The best. Number one. I love Mexicans and this gun is the best. CNN is fake news believe me.”

Well, he hasn't actually responded -- either he knows not to speak or else he might really roll shit downhill and give the go signal to a nationwide purge of journalists the likes of which the Ampatuans will surely bow their heads in respect... or he doesn't know jack shit of this.

Rumors that Trump will decline to prosecute this man are just rumors.

Probably.
Most of the time I have no idea what the hell I'm doing or talking about.

Winston Churchill, 1947.
