Michael Berry, former Houston City Council Member did what he does best, shoots his mouth off calling for the bombing of a Mosque built on ground zero. From the Houston Press:

For some reason they don't like the fact that when a caller to Berry's show supported building a mosque near Ground Zero in New York, Berry responded: "No, no, Tony, you can't build a mosque at the site of 9/11. No, you can't. No, you can't. And I'll tell you this -- if you do build a mosque, I hope somebody blows it up...I hope the mosque isn't built, and if it is, I hope it's blown up, and I mean that."

They might want to have a little chat with this little asshole Berry about 18 U.S.C. § 875 : US Code - Section 875: Interstate communications.

Whoever transmits in interstate or foreign commerce any communication containing any threat to kidnap any person or any threat to injure the person of another, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than five years, or both.
