Should SodaHead Allow People To Threaten The Life Of The President or Anyone For That Matter ?
Lately there seems to be a rash of disturbed and imbalanced people threatening the life of the President of the United States and other SH Members. Should SH be allowing this type of dangerous behavior ?
Threatening the President of the United States is a class D felony under United States Code Title 18, Section 871. It consists of knowingly and willfully mailing or otherwise making "any threat to take the life of, to kidnap, or to inflict bodily harm upon the President of the United States".
The United States Attorneys' Manual states that the Terrorism and Violent Crime Section has supervisory authority over Section 871 cases.

+9Thanx Che cuz all the flags that were put up on the post I believe you are talking about were taken down. I even told Fef about it & the post still stands. Allowing these threats to stand because this is a Conservative website simply paints their side of the aisle as crazy people who are bent on doing violence to get their way.
The Secret Service reported that President Obama gets an average of 35 death threats per day which is a 400% increase over the number that W got. Somehow I doubt that these death threats are about repealing Obamacare, et al. Additionally, White supremacy/hate groups have increased by 244% since Obama's been in office. Nah, no racism or fanaticism in the US among the rt wing nuts.
But wishing someone were dead, or dropped off the face of the earth, are NOT death threats.
I don't think anyone should get aways with TRULY making death threats against anyone, but just making a comment about someone dying, being killed, or whatever isn't a "threat."

And that is what this post is really about.
Post or link to some examples of Obama "threats".
You might as well understand that many people abhor this clown for a POTUS, and are not going to be scared to let their dissent and negative opinions of that trash be known.
And, if someone or even YOU think the law has been broken with a POTUS threat, why don't you report it to law enforcement and let them decide if is worthy of follow-up?
For me. I'll be bashing Obama until I die, whether he stays in office or not.
I hope Obama lives a long, long life, but I will criticize and "bash" him everyday of it as long as I live.
Hell, report me if it makes you feel better.
You can bash him till the cows come home (nobody cares anyway, its not like you people know what you're talking about), thats not the same thing as threatening his life.
ALL threats against the presdient are taken seriously, and ALL are investigated (I spoken with them more than a few times).
Wow...I am starstruck and impressed...I am actually having online discourse with someone who reports "threats" to the Secret Service, (and has their numbers in her phone) about the sorry bastard called Barack Obama...lol
Ooooooooh.
Nothing personal, but you are full of crap on this.
I never stated there NEEDS to be publicity.
And "every single threat being taken seriously" does not IMPLY, nor assert that every single threat is treated and PURSUED in the same way.
Your still talking crap, but that's OK with me.
