Man who wants to vote against Obama threatens to empty shotgun at registrar’s office
Complaint: Man who wants to vote against Obama threatens to empty shotgun at registrar’s office

A 75-year-old man was arrested today for threatening to bring his shotgun to the Registrar of Voters office in downtown Monroe.

According to the report, Wade Marshall Williams of Monroe used profanity and racial slurs and said he needed to vote in the upcoming presidential election to “keep the n----- out of office.”

Williams, of 266 Lake Passman, then reportedly said he wanted his card before he came to the building with his “shotgun and emptied it.”

Ouachita Sheriff deputies received complaints that Williams had threatened the office over the telephone after he was informed he would receive his voter registration card in two weeks, but could still vote by showing picture identification.

1. Guns, ignorance, fear and hatred...what a combo.
Add a little economic frustration and you have a deadly mix. Could there be anything less "American" than what they advocate? (Let's hope the Secret Service will be on top of their game in coming days.)

3. Nice to see him take himself right out of the voting booth
Nothing like threatening the voting registrar and getting your dumb ass arrested to make sure you ain't a votin come Nov 4.

That's how we can reduce the Repub voters, get them so riled up they start doing stupid shit (like that's hard) and get arrested then they'll be behind bars come Nov 4th...problem solved. See, I'm more of an idea rat...

4. He still has the right to vote. Just might be doing it via provisional ballot from a jail cell
