Calif. man arrested on charges of threatening Globe employees

[Meghan54]

Couldn't be any relation between Trump's rhetoric and this, could there be? Naaaa......

Guess he's just another misunderstood and misguided fine person.

Robert D. Chain, 68, of Encino, Calif., was arrested Thursday at his home and is charged with a single count of making a threatening communication in interstate commerce.

“In the calls, Chain referred to the Globe as ‘the enemy of the people’ and threatened to kill newspaper employees,’’ prosecutors wrote in a statement. “In total, it is alleged that Chain made approximately 14 threatening phone calls to the Globe between August 10 and August 22, 2018.”

He allegedly said on Aug. 16, “You’re the enemy of the people, and we’re going to kill every [expletive] one of you. Hey, why don’t you call the F, why don’t you call Mueller, maybe he can help you out buddy. Still there [expletive]? Alright, why, you going to trace my call? What are you going to do [expletive]? You ain’t going to do [expletive]. I’m going to shoot you in the [expletive] head later today, at 4 o’clock. Goodbye.”

The affidavit quoted him as saying during another threatening rant on Aug. 22 that “you are the enemy of the people, and I want you to go [expletive] yourself. As long as you keep attacking the President, the duly elected President of the United States, in the continuation of your treasonous and seditious acts, I will continue to threats, harass, and annoy the Boston Globe, owned by the New York Times, the other fake news.”

Yeah can't try to explain this one way. I mean yeah he is fucking crazy but Cheeto feeds these guys with his bullshit.

I heard this on the local Boston NPR station. I know people who work in the Globe building so heard about their evacuations as they happened. Couldn’t wait for the shit bag(s) to be arrested.

Now a dumbass Trumper gets to go to jail for listening to his idiot dear leader. Good.

If only Cheeto would just loudly proclaim that the best way to fight the enemy of the people is to masturbate furiously until death, we wouldn't have this problem with ultra-violent righties. But he doesn't. He asks them to kill his enemies.
