Facebook faux pas: California libertarian and Tea Party darling Jules Manson is caught calling for the assassination of President Barack Obama and his children.
On Sunday, many Facebook users were greeted by the shocking spectacle of a California libertarian and Ron Paul supporter by the name of Jules Manson advocating for the assassination of President Barack Obama. Manson, a failed politician, recently ran for and lost a seat on the City of Carsons City Council last March.
The following is the text of Mansons racist, treasonous, deplorable post:
Assassinate the f----- n----- and his monkey children

What scum. Hope he enjoys his little chat with the Secret Service.

The Secret Service needs to pay Mr. S8N a visit, IMO. Bring a fire extinguisher.

(11,700 posts)Threatening the President of the United States is a class D felony under United States Code Title 18, Section 871. [38][39] The offense is punishable by five years in prison, [38] a $250,000 fine, [40] a $100 special assessment, [41] and 3 years of supervised release. [42] Internet restrictions such as a prohibition on access to email have been imposed on offenders who made their threats by computer. The U.S. Sentencing Guidelines set a base offense level of 12 for sending threatening communication, but when a threat to the President is involved, a 6-level "official victim" enhancement applies. Moreover, "an upward departure may be warranted due to the potential disruption of the governmental function." [43] Further enhancements can apply if the offender evidenced an intent to carry out the threat (6-level enhancement); made more than two threats (2-level enhancement); caused substantial disruption of public, governmental, or business functions or services (4-level enhancement); or created a substantial risk of inciting others to harm federal officials (2-level enhancement). [44] Since each 6-level increase approximately doublesthe Guidelines sentencing range, it is not particularly rare for an offender who threatens the President to receive a sentence at or near the maximum, especially if he has a criminal history and/or does not qualify for a reduction for acceptance of responsibility. There is a 4-level decrease available for a threat involving a "single instance evidencing little or no deliberation", which would usually apply to spur-of-the-moment verbal threats. The maximum penalty for threatening a United States judge or a Federal law enforcement officer is 10 years imprisonment double the maximum penalty for threatening the President.

Remember all those young people who's homes were invaded after they wrote "Bush should be impeached"?
This is the guy the Sec Serv should have been going after.
