I don't know...

Ripping some of her hair out... Isn't that assault?

Stealing genetic information... Isn't that a violation of privacy- and copyright-laws? (There is a reason why those ancestor-DNA-test companies always make you sign a waiver that they are now the rightful owners of your genetic sample: They are making sure that they are the rightful owners to all the info they can get from it.)

1. Yes, it's assault.

You don't have to injure someone to have assaulted them - any unwanted physical touch is assault. If they just picked up a loose hair that wouldn't be assault, but then there's no way to verify who it came from. I should think there's a law against soliciting the commission of assault. Maybe the cops should go undercover and answer this request.

3. Does not she have SS protection.

Is this guy crazy.

[onenote]

17. Yes she does. And Mr. Martin Asshole will be hearing from them shortly.

[Demtexan]

20. That is what I thought.

Nice to see him rough prison.

[bench scientist]

15. assuming some asshole agrees to do this, would that not be conspiracy?

Conspiracy an agreement of at least two people to commit an unlawful act.

[trueblue2007]

24. THE TWEET IS GONE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was going to report him but it's no longer there

[Initech]

26. I thought he got banned from Twitter, no?

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

27. His lawyer probably told him to get rid of it ASAP.

[Doreen]

29. Once on the internet it will always be on the internet.

We just need someone with the knowledge that knows how to find it and turn it in.

[apkhgp]

34. Turn that tweet in

It would probably be the best way to wipe that stupid smile off his face. Him and 45 when they smile it creeps me out.

[Doreen]

36. The ENTIRE administration creeps me out when they smile.

[onenote]

32. It wasn't a tweet, it was a FB post and it's still there

although it has been amended (apparently) to include a disclaimer.

He also has posted that the Secret Service has contacted him and requested an interview but that he is declining because his schedule is full.

[Achilleaze]

2. Yes it's assault

republican a-hole on the loose. Back to court with him. This cannot stand.

republican "values" are stinking out the cesspool.

[Heartstrings]

4. If that's not assault

I'm not sure what the definition of assault is anymore.

Sure hope the Secret Service has gotten wind of this and takes appropriate action!

[woodsprite]

5. Offering to pay a bounty for illegally obtained goods.

Isn't that something that can send him to the slammer?

The FBI should wire one of her assistants, use hair from her brush, and get the sucker. As former first lady, shouldn't the Secret Service pay a visit to "Eddy" Shkreli.

[Initech]

8. This is a death threat.

And given that he's already on trial I think this could easily put him behind bars for decades!

[Initech]

6. Holy shit this should be investigated as a credible threat!

[DK504]

7. He's taking a contract out on her.

When exactly will he be arrested? No more. Enough already.

Just wrote my Senators, granted the won't do a thing, they're Repubs, so I won't be holding my breath.

Unbelievable.

[smirkymonkey]

9. That guy needs to be locked up for a long time.

Preferably forever. I actually have a better idea, but it would probably get me banned.

[spiderpig]

10. First impression...

is this The Onion???

Can this guy become any more disgusting? How was he ever allowed out in polite society anyway?

[Tiggeroshii]

11. I thought this fucker was in prison...

When does that shit finally take effect?

[Initech]

13. I don't know, but someone needs to take this douchebag's internet access away.

When will Trump's supporters learn that if they commit a felony, they can't vote for their god-emperor?

[librechik]

12. Make that 20 years in federal prison

and, Oh, BTW Squirrelly, you are out on bail or something, aren't you? This is a violation, right?

[cwydro]

14. This for real?

The guy is facing time in prison. He's a total asshole but I'm not seeing him make a threat against a major politician.

I see so much fake Twitter crap on here lately, I'm not buying it.

[onenote]

21. Yes, but either he's edited his FB post or the stories edited it.

Because it now contains a "disclaimer" at the end:

The Clinton Foundation is willing to KILL to protect its secrets. So on HRC's book tour, try to grab a hair from her. I must confirm the sequences I have. Will pay $5,000 per hair obtained from Hillary Clinton. Payment after the sequence matches. Good luck, patrollers.
(this is satire, meant for humor and not an endorsement of violence against a truly wonderful public servant)


I can't tell if the post was changed after the fact. But it's a lame attempt a disclaimer.

[IggleDuer]

16. Threatening Hillary could make him a favorite if the Orange Fuhrer...

... and set him up for a pardon.

[Weekend Warrior]

18. "Isn't that assault? "

For many of these guys assaulting a woman is simply what happens on a solid Friday night. They are sick and there are more of them out there than anyone wants to admit.

[onenote]

19. Criminal Solicitation. And threat against former first lady.

Both federal crimes.

[FreepFryer]

22. What. The. Fuck. (n/t)

[onenote]

23. Is it possible to tell if and when he edited the post.

It now contains a (lame) disclaimer:

I can't tell if he added the parenthetical after the fact or if the version in the OP omitted the parenthetical. I'm guessing it was the former, but don't know if it's possible to tell.

[KWR65]

25. He is going to get a long prison sentence.

[Warpy]

28. With a face like his, he shouldn't be inciting violence of any kind

He's the walking definition of "backpfeifengesicht."

[Doreen]

30. If any of us did that to any repuke we would

find our ass in jail for a long time. I think what he did is against the law.

[wryter2000]

31. Isn't he in prison yet? n/t

n/t

[hamsterjill]

33. This little shitass just never learns, does he?

One of these days, someone is going to grow tired of his antics and put a stop to them. I hope the Secret Service put him in his place very quickly.

[JimGinPA]

35. Hillary Should Bring Hair Brushes To Her Book Signings...

Pass out hairs & bankrupt the ass.

[OldHippieChick]

37. OK

That made me laugh.
