A 19-year-old man was arrested after threatening to shoot Mitt Romney during the presidential candidate’s visit to Ohio, just one of a recent wave of violent threats against Romney that have been downplayed by the media. During class at Lorain County Community College earlier this week, Shaquille L. Brown spoke of his plan to assassinate the former Governor of Massachusetts. “According to a police report, Brown was in an English class when he blurted out: “Can we leave, because Romney is in town and I want to go shoot him,” reports Fox 8 Cleveland. On the same day that Brown made the threat, Romney was speaking at a campaign stop just 20 minutes away at a high school in Avon Lake. Brown’s stunned teacher immediately contacted police as the 19-year-old was escorted to the college’s security office. Brown pleaded his innocence, telling an officer, “I don’t even have a gun to do it.” The Elyria Police Department contacted the Secret Service who sent an agent to interview Brown, who is now being held in the Lorain County Jail. Brown was subsequently charged with one count of “inducing panic,” a low-level felony, and continued to claim that the threat was just a joke. The arrest follows a deluge of threats made against Romney over the last few weeks, most notably on Twitter where hundreds of users advocated the use of violence against the presidential candidate if he defeated Obama in the election. Although the Secret Service announced that it was monitoring the situation, an investigation by the Weekly Standardfound that, “More than a dozen Twitter accounts that were used as a medium to publically threaten Republican candidate Mitt Romney’s life after the second presidential debate remain active.” Not to be outdone, scores of Obama supporters took to the social networking website earlier this week to express their desire that Romney would be killed by Hurricane Sandy. Despite the fact that the establishment media routinely hypes violent online rhetoric made by conservatives and “right-wingers,” the deluge of threats made against Romney over the past month have been met with virtual silence. Only a handful of blogs as well as the Drudge Report have consistently reported on the issue. Compare that to the response prior to the 2008 campaign, when threats made against Obama were routinely a national news story. While threats to assassinate Obama were treated with the seriousness they deserved, leftists have characterized violent and sometimes graphically precise threats made against Romney as sophomoric jokes.
Poster Comment: At least he was polite enough to ask the teacher.

Brown was subsequently charged with one count of “inducing panic,” a low-level felony, and continued to claim that the threat was just a joke. It's good to see calmer heads prevailed,and the guy was only held until after Rombama had left the area. 99.99 percent of the people babbling this sort of nonsense don't really mean it. They are just blowing off steam. I remember being in a local breakfast joint where I was living at the time the day after Reagan won his first election. The place was owned and ran by a woman in her 60's whose husband,sons,and even her daughter were in the US military,and she and a whole cluster of other old hens were all sitting at one table crying and weeping over Carter's loss,and this senile old bitch actually screamed out loud,"I hope somebody takes a gun and kills him!" I told her and the rest of the bitches off in a manner that insured I would never be welcome there again,but it never occurred to me to call the SS on her. I'm pretty sure that if she had of had a gun and Reagan had walked into her restaurant at that very moment that she would have shot him,but there was never any danger of her driving to DC with her shotgun and laying in ambush. Emotional,and blowing off steam. The SS DO take these things very seriously when they are reported though,and they are pretty experienced at telling the people blowing off steam from the serious nutcases. If they had thought "Shaquille" (what kind of dumbass parent names their spawn after a idiot basketball player,anyway?) was a serious threat there would have been serious charges placed against him and he would be sitting in jail right now awaiting a court appearance. As it is they charged him with something just serious enough they can get a warrant to pay him a visit with no trouble at all the next time Rombama goes there in order to check him out. Hell,it won't even keep him from getting no-bid contracts or a government job he isn't qualifed for once he graduates from Community College.
A wise man once said,"If you wish to live your life as a good man,try to be the man your dog thinks you are."
I was testy and upset the day Reagan won too. But I cried for him and our country the day he was shot. And I wished him a speedy and complete recovery. He was shot on my birthday too.
As I would be testy and upset if somebody shot Obummer,too. This is America. We vote our bad presidents out of office. We don't shoot them.
