Texas Frat Boy's New Year's Resolution? Murder Obama!

16. The problem is that there

are certain things you just don't joke about, or at least put in print. One would be the assassination of an elected official.


If he had no idea that this wasn't exactly the brightest thing in the world to do he shouldn't be in college. I'm sure there are plenty of others who would like to have his spot.

You can agree with an official, you can disagree with them. That's fine. You can threaten their livelihood by stating that you will actively campaign against them in the next election cycle. If there is a recall option available you can become part of that. What you cannot do is threaten their life. It's just idiotic.

And all threats have to be assessed. It doesn't matter if it doesn't seem credible. No stone can be left unturned if a threat of that level has been made.

So, what would have been better? He should have said something like "Dude's an asshole. No way do I want him to be reelected. I'm gonna campaign for (insert candidate here)." That would have been appropriate and would have been applaudable.
