Raymond Hunter Geisel Arrested For Threat Against Barack Obama
It’s being reported that the Secret Service has arrested a 22-year-old man in Miami on charges he threatened to kill Barack Obama.
The Secret Service affidavit charges Raymond Hunter Geisel with “allegedly referred to Obama with a racial epithet and continued, ‘If he gets elected, I’ll assassinate him myself.’ ”
As is often the case with those who talk about killing politicians, Geisel may have been bipartisan in his rants. According to the AP story:
“Another person in the class quoted Geisel as saying that ‘he hated George W. Bush and that he wanted to put a bullet in the president’s head,’ according to the Secret Service.
“Geisel denied in a written statement to a Secret Service agent that he ever made those threats, and the documents don’t indicate that he ever took steps to carry out any assassination. He was charged only with threatening Obama, the presumptive Democratic nominee, but not for any threat against President Bush.”
