Often, it seems that the Secret Service doesn’t take threats against the President seriously enough. According to Reuters, though, one threat to kill both the President and the First Lady is being taken seriously enough that the suspect is now in jail.
Forty-two-year-old Christopher Perkins O’Brien, of Annapolis, MD, was arrested Thursday after the Secret Service became aware of an email he had sent on October 16th.
In the email, Obama is called ‘stupid’ and a racial slur for his handling of ISIS, beheadings in the United States and of the Ebola outbreak before he is threatened with physical violence.
‘I … hope to reach out to slash Michele’s throat… You?? I will make a point to behead you, then throw your head into the nearest body of water, as I drive off into Maryland,’ O’Brien is accused of writing, according to charging documents first reported by The Baltimore Sun.
