British Teen Banned From U.S. for Life After Sending Name Calling E-Mail to Obama

[Amused]

I thought this was kinda of overkill. But oh well...

I barracked Obama

A BRIT teen who sent an email to the White House calling President Obama a "p***k" has been banned from America FOR LIFE.

The furious FBI asked local cops to tell college student Luke Angel, 17, his drunken insult was "unacceptable". Luke yesterday admitted he fired off a single email criticising the US Government after seeing a TV programme about 9/11.

He said: "I don't remember exactly what I wrote as I was drunk. But I think I called Barack Obama a p***k. It was silly - the sort of thing you do when you're a teenager and have had a few."

Luke, of Silsoe, Beds, said it was "a bit extreme" for the FBI to act.

He added: "The police came and took my picture and told me I was banned from America forever. I don't really care but my parents aren't very happy."

A Beds Police spokesman said: "The individual sent an email to the White House full of abusive and threatening language. We were informed by the Metropolitan Police and went to see him. He said, 'Oh dear, it was me'."

Officers will take no criminal action.

Joanne Ferreira, of the US Department of Homeland Security, said there are about 60 reasons a person can be barred.

She added: "We are prohibited from discussing specific cases."

Call Obama a Socialist, call him a Muslim, call him a Kenyan, but never call him a Korean name.

Call Obama a Socialist, call him a Muslim, call him a Kenyan, but never call him a Korean name.

3 out of the 4 of those are accurate. I'll leave it up to the readers to decide which is which..

p***k ?

mte.

what curse word begins with a p and ends with a k?

In case you missed the "threatening language" part of his email ... not shocked.

 

[tinker2141]

Prick? Maybe? Not far off by the reaction.

 

[bamacre]

According to Fox, it was "prick."

Obama needs to comment on this and use this as opportunity to educate all Americans about tolerance. Drinking is not okay to Muslims. We don't want to send the wrong message to them that we support that kind of thing.

 

[BoomerD]

Good. While I don't find the word "prick" to be that offensive, we already have enough stupid people in this country...we don't need to be importing more.

 

[rudder]

I am glad the White House email filters were working and the FBI is making valuable use of its time. We can't have any name callers allowed in the United States.

 

[Pens1566]

Yes, keep harping on the name calling and ignoring the "threatening" in the story.

Ya, kid says he doesn't remember much, but thinks he called Obama a prick. I suspect he said a hell of a lot more than that.

Ah..well in that case he totally deserved what he got. I really hope the president is OK.

Its an amused post, he likes to copy and pastes news Corp BS all the time.

 

[alphatarget1]

I really want to see what he wrote to get himself permabanned from the USA. LOL

 

[zephyrprime]

I didn't know the presidency was moderated.

Where's the perma-ban?

Something so mild it's difficult to imagine.

We don't know what was really in the email. The kid said he called Obama a prick, but thats his side of what was in the email. My guess is that there was more in the email than that for them to do this.

 

[tinker2141]

I bet if he was Muslim it would be just fine. Kids real crime is being white and living in the West. Sorry kid we would have liked to have had you on our team.

Interesting... I sent an email to Bush when he was in office from the domain imaterrorist.com(an old email addy you could get through tshirt hell) because I lost a bet. Never heard anything about it, but I also didn't send an email ripping on the guy either.

 

[Fear No Evil]

Isn't this just going to encourage the kid to hate America and join a terrorist group? Obama should probably apologize for being a prick.
