1. Probably not, but the grammar police need a heads-up.

5. My guess is, he/she's from overseas.
Hence the broken english. Teabaggers don't know how to write, but still doesn't look like it's one of them.

8. that's not a threat as per the legal definition
Under state criminal codes, which vary by state, it is an offense to knowingly utter or convey a threat to cause death or bodily harm to any person. It is also an offense to threaten to burn, destroy or damage property or threaten to kill, poison or injure an animal or bird that belongs to a person.


Sure, what the fuck go ahead and call the Secret Service and then end up on their list of "internet wackjobs". This is not a valid, reasonable threat and would only take an agent from real work that he might need to be doing.

7. The guy probably can't even tie his shoes. You're worried about him getting to the President?

14. You never know --

I'm thinking that many people probably were concerned about Hasan and didn't report him because they felt nothing would probably come of it. So if you have a question about whether you should report it, do. It can't hurt and it just might help. :hi:

15. thank you, gateley.
the bastard deleted the comment, which means he knows he's wrong. I got the screenshot of it, so I'm just going to go ahead and call it in.

17. And this is DU's fault how?
Edited on Sat Dec-12-09 04:05 PM by bigwillq
If you feel it warrants to be reported, then do it. Don't blame DU because you asked a question and didn't like the responses you received on a freaking discussion board.

12. I'd say no
Edited on Sat Dec-12-09 03:44 PM by mcablue
Because the person is calling for a trial in which he thinks the jury or judge should call for the death penalty.

This is a ridiculous argument to make, but the person is not saying he/she wants to kill the President.
