The FBI has arrested an Internet blogger from New Jersey on charges of threatening three prominent Chicago judges who authored an anti-gun rights ruling earlier this month.
Hal Turner, 47, of North Bergen, N.J., allegedly posted a headline “These judges deserve to be killed,” supplemented the next day by, “Judges official public work addresses and a map of the area are below. Their home addresses and maps will follow soon. Behold these devils.”
Below this headline, the entry listed the names, photos, phone numbers, work addresses and room numbers of the three judges involved in the handgun decision, as well as a photo of the Dirksen Federal Courthouse in Chicago and a map, according to an affidavit. The photo of the building had been modified to include arrows and a label referencing “Anti-truck bomb barriers,” according to the affidavit…
“We take threats to federal judges very seriously. Period,” Patrick J. Fitzgerald, U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Illinois, said in a written statement.
Turner is charged with threatening to assault and murder three federal judges. He faces a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison, if convicted.
The NRA and other nutballs will consider him a hero.
Patrick, Fusion made me curious…. has your popsicle stand ever been robbed by an Islamic terrorist? Do you carry a gun just in case? If you were to be robbed, what flavors are most valuable? Have you ever refused to serve arabs? How is global warming affecting the popsicle business? If Obama was a woman, would you call him O’Pappa?
It’s a great feeling to drive the lib nut jobs to distraction.
BTW Olo Bilgewater, when making threats against Federal Judges it would be wise to use an encrypted proxy. I can see by your IP that you don’t. Big mistake.
Mr F…I wonder how much focus will this criminal get? If the NRA really cared, he would be put on their public shit list and his face would become a popular range target. This nitwit hurts their cause immeasurably, not that I care about that, but they don’t actively ostracize guys like this and that means the NRA implicitly approves of them…cultivating even more nutballs.
Patrick, when I ever decide to make a threat, I’ll take your advice.
#18 I agree, Paddy-O or whatever handle you use now.
I’ll send Obama a message to grow some balls and start picking off right conservative wingnutts right here in the US terrorizing the country.
In addition, Obama needs a little George Bush smugness to push through his Healthcare agenda.
The Bush/Cheney regime smugness used to push through hairball ideas, invade countries and shit on my Constitutional Rights is something Obama needs in dealing with domestic problems.
# 35 Olo Baggins of Bywater said, “Patrick, when I ever decide to make a threat…”
You already did, and it’s reported…
#13, SL,
In fact, all of the restrictions placed on the Federal Government in the Bill of Rights, now also apply to the states as well because of the 14th. This is well established. Yet, these three bozos think that the 2nd Amendment is some sort of exception?
Almost.
It is well established that State and Federal governments may regulate behavior, even under the Bill of Rights. Thus, under certain circumstances the government may prohibit people gathering in a certain area, or allow specific entry into your house without warrant. They may also prohibit the personal ownership of certain types of weapons such as rocket launchers or nuclear bombs.
These three “bozos” as you call them, were only following precedent as laid out by the Supreme Court.
#32, Jim,
With all respects sir, a correction is in order. Cow-Patty calls it a popCycle stand. We weren’t quite sure what he meant but if he sells ’em, he knows how to spell ’em.
#37, Cow-Patty,
It is a Federal offense to falsely report a crime. Your highly placed contacts should tell you that.
What a clown. Proves me right again.
Patrick, cool, thanks! I’ve spent some time in one of the FBI’s RCFL offices and worked with one of their guys on a project. They don’t waste their time on BS.
#33, Hatrick: “BTW Olo Bilgewater, when making threats against Federal Judges it would be wise to use an encrypted proxy. I can see by your IP that you don’t. Big mistake.”
Posting instructions on how to threaten a Federal Judge and not get caught Hatrick? Tch, tch…. why am I not surprised?
#38, Fusion, your point that some regulation is oftentimes allowed is irrelevant.
According to the article, the judges ruled that the Chicago ban was valid because the 2nd Amendment only restricted the federal government, not the states.
Clearly, if the Supreme Court has ruled that the 2nd Amendment was violated by the federal government with the handgun ban in D.C., then that same immunity is being violated by the City of Chicago with its ban.
Here I thought the End would start with a million people given a year or less to live by their physicians, looking for meaning in their remaining months, juxtaposed with million-dollar bonus executives of bailout companies–and their home addresses. Or if the condemned are up for foreign travel, maybe donning a burqa and giving the suicide bomb generals a taste of their own tactics. Warning: ordnance may explode suddenly. But a lo(o)ner ranting because judges a thousand miles away won’t unban guns? Possibly dangerous, but the End? Nah!
Re #39, Mr. Fusion… Oh, I stand corrected then sir.
A popcycle stand, eh? I’ve heard about that one… flavors are bandana, grate, charry, oringe and chucklet. Seems no one has ever seen a transaction… some suspect it’s a front for Islamic terrorist activity.
What’s funny is if the guy were Muslim, people on this blog would agree that he has been railroaded by the Feds.
wait wait…is he the guy in the TV ads selling the popcycles without sticks?

No, assassinating judges that infringe your right to self defence if no other recourse was possible. They would have tarred and feathered them, then launched all out war when the red shirts (think ATF / FBI etc.) attacked. They did advocate killing (and killed about 2,500 people, mainly enemy soldiers). I am not American but I did do American history in high school.
Re-write it to say what? A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed?
I do not approve, I would advocate voting for people that uphold the constitution and arresting those who do not (pretty much all of your representatives), or change the constitution through referendum, but yes the Founding Fathers would have.
Well, well, well, let’s see now.
The work addresses and telephone numbers of the judges should be in the phone book, so no problem posting that.
Saying “They deserve to be killed” is different from saying they “should be killed”.
The home addresses and/or phone numbers, er, ah, most likely not. I’d assume that the judges are unlisted. This is where he really screwed up.
Of course, his obsession with it makes him a nutball.
As for the judges, they should be removed from office (are there recalls or confirmation votes for judges in Illinois like in Calif.?) Any first year history student could prove them wrong.
As for the NRA, yes, they advocate the ownership and use of firearms. Outside the military, they are also the primary advocates and educators regarding gun safety BECAUSE they are well aware of the destruction that guns can cause when misused. Note that a firearm is an inanimate object. Those who blame guns for destruction are no brighter than those who blame the table leg when they stub their toe on it.

That is Eideard’s modus operandi…

“.. they like to think the firearm is blameless..”
1) Aren’t you bored with life….knowing what everyone thinks? And if you don’t know what everyone thinks, they why do you say you do?
2) A tool is blameless – An inanimate object doesn’t/can’t have human traits.
8 words, 2 lies.
There is enough difference in opinions about facts, you don’t need to make up stuff.
Unless of course it’s a really good story, a saga…ya know, the stuff dreams are made of. In that case, facts just get in the way:)

Due to budget cutbacks, all lubrication is on back-order.
LOL
Self defense will no longer be legal in your lifetime, and everyone here is applauding it.
#54 Breetai
Tyrants do not make it ‘legal’ to oppose them.
P.S. Everyone here is not applauding it.
Did anyone else notice that Paddy-0 (it’s a zero, and it’s PATENTED) or Patrick, as he likes to be called now that his moms basement has a door he can lock, links his name to the NSA.GOV? The hater of Federalis links to the worst of the them all… Unless their spying on darkies of course…
51, Alfred1
I see that you’re trying to link things together. Unfortunately, your poor grasp of English and English grammar is so piss poor (are you secretly an illegal Mexican?) that you failed. Again.
Change your name Alfred1. Maybe it’ll confuse us for a day or so like the Paddy-0 / Patrick swap.
# 55 LDA said, “Tyrants do not make it ‘legal’ to oppose them. P.S. Everyone here is not applauding it.”
Excellent point. Lost only on the left wing nuts who are applauding…
#45, Jim,
A terrorist front? Sheeet !!! Why didn’t we ever think of that. It is so obvious. Play a stupid right wing nut and everyone will think your weird behavior is now explainable. Rant about guns and shooting and we will dismiss the weapons cache as just some red neck militia wannabe.
Phuck, how could we be so steuupid??? Call in Homeland Security. Eideard, ya got his address? Report the son of a bitch traitor terrorist!!!
The NRA would consider the guy who posted the threats to be a nut ball who needs to be arrested.
On the other hand I consider the guy that posted the story and gave his views to be a narrow minded bigot but that most likely shouldn’t get him arrested.
Of course he is guilty of slander and might stand for prosecution if a new law about on line bullying goes into effect.
However many liberals considered it to be good clean fun to tell vicious lies about conservatives so maybe not. In some states this protection might only apply to liberals.
#52, Rick,
8 words, 2 lies.
And aren’t you ashamed?
Your point 1), yes, right wing nuts do like to make things up.
Your point 2, who gave an inanimate object human traits? Who decided that inanimate objects are incapable of being the cause (blame) of something happening?
That guy looks like PATRIC NORTON! (I’m sure you know who that is.) …maybe he’s a cousin?
