If you threatened to kill public figures - like top leaders of the Democratic party in Congress and in the Senate - that be sober or drunk - it should be consequences out of it.. You can not claim you was drunk and had no clue about what you was writing on facebook...

Alcoholism is maybe a illness but it is no excuse for treating to kill other people who he disagree with.. It could have been the fellow next door - or the fellow down the road who got the death treat - and I guess it would be the same reaction from the court.. But this was about people in public offices - and they do have the same right to be safe, as Joe Doe who live next door..

Hopefully this "gentleman" now can be given some help with his alcoholism, when he are in prison - and maybe get out with a possibility of staying sober for the next of his life... If I had that problem - I would have sobered up after 15 months in any prison in the US..
