(26,656 posts)47. New Hampshire Man Indicted for Threatening to Kill Three Presidential Candidates
Oh Rob! Are you listening?
Went to see if the DOJ website is back to normal. It is, and I found this gem.

We have seen an increase in threats of violence against public officials and those seeking public office across the country, and I have made clear that these types of illegal threats undermine the function of our democracy, said Attorney General Merrick B. Garland. We will not tolerate illegal threats of violence directed at public officials or those seeking public office.
According to the charging documents, Anderson sent a series of threatening text messages to three separate presidential campaigns going back to November. On Nov. 22, Anderson threatened to impale and disembowel one candidate. On Dec. 6, Anderson threatened a second candidate in a series of text messages, including that he would blow the "head off" of the candidate and conduct a mass shooting. On Dec. 8, Anderson threatened via text message that he would blow the brains out of a third candidate and kill everyone who would attend a then-upcoming campaign event.
Anderson faces a maximum of five years in prison, up to three years of supervised release, and a fine of up to $250,000 for each charge. A federal district court judge will determine a sentence after considering the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines and other statutory factors.

OP
In Nazi Germany many were executed or put in concentration camps for criticizing the Fuhrer.
