As the anti-Obama rhetoric keeps getting more and more insane, we can expect to see more incidents like this.
(10-15) 11:40 PDT SAN FRANCISCO — A Del Norte County man has been indicted by a federal grand jury in San Francisco on charges that he threatened in an e-mail to kill President Obama and members of his family.
John Gimbel, 59, of Crescent City e-mailed a message Sept. 28 bearing a subject line that read, in part, “Kill the ‘president’ ... then write ‘fed s-’ on his chest with a felt tip,” said the indictment issued Tuesday, two days before Obama’s scheduled visit to San Francisco today for fundraisers at the St. Francis Hotel.
In the body of the e-mail, Gimbel allegedly wrote, “Kill that ... wife of yours,” and, “Do it to his children and family first in front of him. Failure to comply. That’ll teach him.”
Gimbel was indicted on charges of making threats against the president, threats against the president’s immediate family and threats transmitted through interstate communication.
