A Kentucky man has been sentenced to 33 months in jail for writing a poem supposedly threatening Obama. Associated Press reports: LOUISVILLE, Ky. -- A Kentucky man who acknowledged writing a poem threatening the life of President Barack Obama was sentenced Monday by a federal judge to 33 months in prison. [...]The full poem can be read here. This is clearly a hysterical overreaction by petty tyrants. The man did not take one step towards actually carrying out any violent act, the poem was clearly in vain. By the same standards, Barack Obama should be sentenced to jail for "threatening" to murder the Jonas brothers with a predator drone. For a country which prides itself on having supposed "freedom of speech," sentencing someone to jail for a flippantly written poem is pathetic. |
