Florida man charged with threatening Trump on Facebook, could get 5 years in prison

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. - A Florida man is in jail on charges that he threatened President-elect Donald Trump on Facebook.

The South Florida Sun Sentinel reports that a federal judge on Friday ordered Kevin Krohn held without bond until another hearing next week.

The Secret Service arrested the 59-year-old Krohn on Thursday at his suburban Fort Lauderdale home after agents say he posted at least two threats against Trump. In one, he allegedly wrote that he was glad President Barack Obama hadn't seized his guns "because I see a good use for one now" over a picture of Trump.

In another comment about Trump, he allegedly wrote "he will never last long" above a picture of a man holding a sniper rifle.

at it again. While I think it's a very bad idea and a crime to threaten harm to POTUS, it will be interesting to watch going forward how those who make threats will be treated when the threat is against Trump (Don Jong Ill) vs how they were handled when made against Obama.

I'm more concerned with trump and his henchmen than I am with the SS.
Two of trump's lackeys - the imaginary superstar omarosa & con-way - have already spoken about reprisals for trump detractors.
