Court Upholds Sentence for Bush Threat

Court upheld a 3 year sentence on bipolar man who prophesied that Bush might burn during a visit to his hometown. Upholding his tradition of persecuting the mentally impaired, Bush's Justice department has ensured that Humphreys will serve out his sentence in a hospital ward.

He was convicted of threatening to kill of harm the President under 18 USC § 871 -- which reads, in part:

"...Whoever knowingly and willfully deposits for conveyance in the mail or for a delivery from any post office or by any letter carrier any letter, paper, writing, print, missive, or document containing any threat to take the life of, to kidnap, or to inflict bodily harm upon the President of the United States, the President-elect, the Vice President or other officer next in the order of succession to the office of President of the United States, or the Vice President-elect, or knowingly and willfully otherwise makes any such threat against the President, President-elect, Vice President or other officer next in the order of succession to the office of President, or Vice President-elect, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than five years, or both."


I have studied the behaviour of political assassins under the foremost expert in the field, Professor (now emeritus) Clark of the University of Arizona. Humphreys does not fit the profile of a Presidential assassin at all. Punishing him for an injudicious comment to a stranger over a beer looks like a politically motivated prosecution-- Humphreys committed a thought crime against our esteemed leader-- welcome to W's Amerika. Don't burn any bushes.
