Could someone help me report this threat to President-elect Obama...?
I posted a few minutes ago about this threat to President-elect Obama, and got some helpful responses, but I'm still a little clueless.

Could someone give me a phone number or a link or something to report http://www.myspace.com/kdp84">this jerk? Or could someone help me report him? Help me take a screenshot or whatever and report it?

We can't let this kind of thing stand.

I'm not sure if this is a serious threat, but better safe than sorry.

http://www.myspace.com/kdp84">people like this scare me

1. Here

The link you need (and I'm an idiot): http://www.ustreas.gov/usss/faq.shtml

Scroll down to "How can I report a threat towards a protectee?"

It's exactly what you want.

Good for you. Thank you.

5. Sorry
It's getting late, and I'm punchy. I fixed it, and thanks for pointing out the omission.

It's constant. It has to be.

I'm glad you did it. Good work.

2. I'm no law enforcement expert...
...but I would suggest calling your local police non-emergency number--and asking guidance
from them. They will direct you to the next step. Your local police non emergency number
can be found in the blue pages of your local phone book.

OR...you could just call your local FBI field office. I'm not sure where you are located, but
you have an FBI office assigned to your geographic location. You could find their number in
the Blue Pages in your phone book...or you could Google for the #.

That's my advice. I'm no expert. Maybe others will give you other suggestions.

6. The Secret Service
They're the hands-on guys who handle all these threats. They're one or two or five levels closer to the protectees than any other agency.

3. Here's your screenshot

Sorry, I couldn't get it to work as a link.

Also, if you think this is serious, here's the FBI's contact page: http://www.fbi.gov/contactus.htm

In all likelihood, it's just some good ol' boy blowing off steam. But follow your conscience.

Between Myspace and the Secret Service, maybe this lunatic will crawl back in the hole he came from.
