A New Hampshire man has been arrested for threatening to “blow”
the “brains out” of a presidential candidate, according to the
Justice Department.
The DOJ announced Monday morning that a 30-year-old man had been
charged over a text message that threatened a candidate and
attendees of a campaign event. The DOJ did not identify which
candidate had been threatened, but the campaign of Republican
tech entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy reportedly confirmed that
he was the target of the threat.
On December 8, in response to a text message about an
event in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, the suspect allegedly
replied, “Great, another opportunity for me to blow his
brains out!” and “I’m going to kill everyone who attends
and then f*** their corpses.”
According to the DOJ, the text message was sent in response
to an invitation for a campaign event on December 11.
Ramaswamy was the only candidate with a public event listed
in Portsmouth that day
Court documents also allege that he had sent threatening
messages to a different candidate last week, saying he
wanted to “blow that b******’s head off,” NBC Boston
reported.

It'll be interesting to see what his "cause" might be.
Talk like that, MIGHT be a Trumpie, or a low-class
Wokie. We'll see.
Oh, also interesting, how come they didn't come for
him after the PREVIOUS mega-threat ??? Who did he
threaten THEN, and why did nobody care ???
However, the major GOP candidates are probably ALL
packin' ... so threats may get one between the eyes
from Haley or DeSantis or even Ramaswamy before they
can do much harm - and Trump is big enough to tear
yer head off.
ANYWAY, looks like the politics of the 19th and early 20th
century are BACK again - and that's a very bad thing. Last
time it ultimately caused a world war .......
Now did this guy REALLY intend to do anything, or did
he just get drunk and start talking big ? Alas in THIS
sort of case, THOSE sorts of targets, ideation is almost
equivalent to action.
