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.

Now That’s funny!
Were you the one who came up with the argument of the defination of “is”?
A true work of wordsmith art!

Were you the one who came up with the argument of the defination of “is”?
Alas, no. The credit for that belongs with all the various lexicographers. My American Heritage Dictionary has 12 entries and a quarter page. I understand the Oxford Dictionary has 1 1/2 pages of definitions although I haven’t seen it.
