Trump Supporter Pleads Guilty for Threating to Kill Maxine Waters

this was from a couple months ago but i guess it wasn't as horrible as SHS being denied fried chicken and getting secret service protection as a result. no calls for civility over this.


<A man who in a racist tirade threatened to kill Rep. Maxine Waters, spurred by her criticisms of President Trump, pleaded guilty Monday to a felony charge of threatening a U.S. official.

Standing before U.S. District Judge Stephen Wilson in a downtown courtroom, Anthony Scott Lloyd admitted the charge. The 45-year-old San Pedro man is scheduled to be sentenced in July, when he will face up to 10 years in prison. He is likely to receive a far lighter punishment, however.

In pleading guilty, Lloyd acknowledged calling Waters' Washington office on Oct. 22 and leaving a voicemail in which he repeatedly threatened to kill the Los Angeles congresswoman, called her by a racial slur and made a homophobic remark.

Lloyd told authorities he made the call after becoming angered while listening to a report on talk radio that criticized Waters, a Democrat, for making critical comments about Trump, an arrest affidavit showed.

"Bitch, if you do it again, you're dead," Lloyd said in the call, according to court records.>

I don't see why he shouldn't. Lock up all the filthy nutjobs and throw away the keys.

To come and chastise you for writing "black woman". it most certainly will not be a post in support of Rep Waters.

After chastising you, they will turn it into writing ****** is worse than threatening a Congress Woman.

If not him, then Levin or any one of the other hate jockeys that inhabit the squealing static filled modulation of hate radio.

Lloyd told authorities he made the call after becoming angered while listening to a report on talk radio that criticized Waters,


Those people are going to get someone killed some day, and I hope the subsequent lawsuits change talk radio forever.
