David Marsters, Maine Man, Gets Visit From Secret Service Over Obama Facebook Threat

[Robb]

A Maine man is in hot water over a Facebook post containing a news story about President Barack Obama and a racially-charged threat.

The Portland Press Herald reported Tuesday that 68-year-old David Marsters is under investigation over an item posted last Friday on his personal page. The update in question included a link to a story about GOP lawmakers pursuing an Obama impeachment, and a comment from Marsters that read "Shoot the n*gg*r."

The Lewiston-Auburn Sun Journal added that Marsters' Facebook post prompted a visit from Secret Service members. He was questioned for an hour at the local police station in Sabattus, Maine.

"I think it's a lot of hogwash," Marsters told the Press-Herald. "I did not threaten the president ... I might have used the wrong words ... I didn't say I was going to do it."

Bonus:

He said his post was taken out of context.

"What I really meant to say is, 'When are we going to get rid of this (expletive),'" he said. "I should have said, 'I hope the bastard dies.'"

1. "I hope the bastard dies"

Its sad that he can not see that there is no difference between "Shoot the n*gg*r" and "I hope the bastard dies". He's a fucking racist through and through and needs to be ostracized from society at large.

3. What a POS

You learn in elementary school that free speech does not include threats to the POTUS...never has. Ignorant POS
