Bulls-eye over the map of NC (which would be really bad). A subtle but important difference (at least in the liberal mind).

“When 26-year-old Nathan Shafer heard about the arrests of 19 Occupy Columbia members outside the State House last Wednesday, he did what lots of people do when they get angry — he vented about it on the Internet. He saw Gov. Haley’s Facebook post about the arrests and Haley’s comment that she “appreciate[s] freedom of speech,” and that’s when authorities say Shafer crossed the line.

“I hope someone murders you before I do,” Shafer said he commented on the post. “How’s that for freedom of speech?”‘

And we thought all the Occupiers and sympathizers were just cuddly little misguided, non-violent idealists.

And by the way, you don’t own .50 caliber weapons – especially at age 26 – unless you are prepared to do some serious damage to life or limb if the time came. I would be interested to know if they were Desert Eagle pistols, or some sort of rifle, as in “sniper rifle”. In light of his comments, the former would be bad, but the latter would prove intent.

This guy should be thrown under the jail, but it probably won’t get nearly the attention it would if he had threatened a Democrat. A crying shame, but that’s the world we live in. God bless Governor Haley–she seems like a very lovely person and I pray for her safety.

perhaps a devotee of past heros like Rev Wright & Bomber Bill Ayers? Expect more of this, the OWS thing is a warm up, the vitriol a prelude, the left’s idea of inspiration to bigger & better things.
2012 is going to be a real rocker.

… was just making chit-chat when he gave us this bit of info:

The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
Thomas Jefferson (1743 – 1826)

But today no one wants to be the first to shed the blood so the liberty tree can be refreshed. Just words.

Oh wait, a href=http://piersmorgan.blogs.cnn.com/2011/11/23/mark-kelly-on-the-sarah-palin-crosshairs-its-not-helpful/’> it was Sarah Palin he condemned in an interview with Piers Morgan:

“In their new book “Gabby: A Story of Courage and Hope,” Kelly writes about Sarah Palin and the crosshairs she placed on her website, targeting Democratic districts including Giffords. Kelly doesn’t agree with the actions Palin took. “Certainly the targets that she put over Gabby’s and other people’s districts, you know, in our opinion, was not the right thing to do.”

Kelly notes that Giffords spoke about it before she was shot on January 8, 2011 and she made it clear that it could “ultimately incite people to do violent things.” He stresses, “Sarah Palin certainly is not responsible for what happened. But I think the angry rhetoric in an election year is not – it’s not helpful.”

I often read Governor Haley’s posts & the comments that people post on her page. I reported it to Facebook. Glad to see the authorities checked it out and took action.

Nathan Shafer Will be protected as much as possible by the Socialist-Lame-Stream-Media because his agenda is Identical to theirs. That is, due away with Conservatives any possible way including slander and or murder it does not matter only the end results count.

Should an American citizen face criminal charges for merely saying he or she will murder somebody?

I think the law provides for some indication of actual intent and ability. If subsequent investigation shows that the sayer had both the intent and the abiity to murder the future victim, then it only makes sense for the law to step in. But if the investigation shows that the sayer was merely shooting of his or her mouth, then free-speech laws must be invoked to avoid setting the dangerous precedent of arresting people to prevent them from committing crimes in the future.

Common sense has to prevail. We don’t want to be arresting people for crimes they MIGHT commit but have not; simultaneously, we don’t want to leave well enough alone when a person is obviously intent on, and has the ability to, commit a crime.

But the other part of this story is that the “news media” might not give this serious or not-so-serious threat the coverage it would give if the threat was made against a democrat.
