Kerr County 21-year-old charged with threatening to kill President Obama in letters: reports

Source: San Antonio Express News

SAN ANTONIO — A 21-year-old man in Kerr County faces federal charges after allegedly threatening to kill President Barack Obama, according to media reports.

Gavin Leonard Friedman is being held in the county jail without bond after police say he sent several letters alluding to killing the outgoing president, KSAT reports.

Friedman allegedly mailed four letters during the course of this year that threatened President Obama. On Jan. 22, Friedman said in a letter that “Obama will be killed so that (Friedman) can be martyred in the name of Allah,” the San Antonio TV station reports.

Later on April 3, Friedman said in a letter that he was going to assassinate “Obama because Obama is a puppet for Zionist Organized Government.”

fine, upstanding gentleman

From that same article


Besides threats to President Obama, Friedman allegedly threatened to blow up the FBI Field Office in Houston and the White House in Washington, D.C. He also threatened in another letter to kidnap and kill the U.S. Attorney and the attorney’s family. He allegedly said in the letter he hired people to kidnap and kill the U.S. Attorney’s family, according to KSAT.

Friedman was in jail on other charges when he was formally arrested on the federal charges, the TV station reported. He was arrested in 2014 for felony assault on a public servant. Prior to that, he was charged with aggravated sexual assault of a child, according to online jail records.

He's likely a descendant of one the old German settler families in the area. And that family ought to be ashamed.

Alex Jones, conspiracy sites, people believing every stupid fucking thing they read.

Plus he is a sick fucking asshole that needs to be put down-
"He was arrested in 2014 for felony assault on a public servant. Prior to that, he was charged with aggravated sexual assault of a child"

. . . how many guns does this clown own?

After all, this is Texas where every male child is issued at least one gun at birth and is required to carry it on his person the rest of his life.

Time to get those ovens tuned up. This time, we can add Muslim to the human ashes the ovens produced.

And then people get angry and tell me I'm wrong for saying Jefferson/Jackson were wrong for letting the common man's voice be heard.

THIS IS THE FUCKING COMMON MAN, FOLKS!!!

And then I get butthurt people yelling at me that violence isn't the answer. Fuck that. These motherfuckers needs to be beaten within an inch of their lives. No quarter for bigots, fascists, or nazis.
