Christopher Castillo Arrested After Threatening To Kill Obama On Facebook

[RandySF]

Some people just don't know when to stop talking, or when to stop posting on Facebook.

A Florida man was arrested this November after posting threatening messages about President Barack Obama on Facebook. When Secret Service agents came to question 28-year-old Christopher Castillo about his violent comments, The Smoking Gun reports that the situation quickly deteriorated.

On Nov. 1, Castillo wrote the following on Facebook, apparently in response to Obama's views on health care:

That’s the last straw, if he gets re-elected I’m going to hunt him down and kill him watch the life disappear from his eyes.

2. Obama wants Americans to be able to access and afford health insurance.

That makes this man want to murder him. Perfectly understandable.

6. Lol ...

Florida Today spoke with Castillo's father, who is arguing that there isn't anything behind the allegations against his son.

“A lot of people say things on Facebook that they don’t mean, and I understand the Secret Service has to do what they have to do, it’s their job,” Frank Castillo told Florida Today. “I would imagine they would find some people out there that really are loose cannons. Christopher is not one of them."

Yeah ... That probably why the Secret Service did this:

According to the felony complaint report filed by the Secret Service, an agent asked Castillo what his actions would be "if the President was standing here right now?" The angry man didn't hold back his opinions, replying he would “bitch slap him, and beat the shit out of him.” He also stated he would scream and call Obama a terrorist.

I know ... I know ... A lot of people say things directly to Secret Service Agents investigating threats on the President that they don’t mean."

7. heh...

What's funny is if Obama were standing in front of him? Castillo would squat, pee and rollover like a frightened omega pup that knows he's outmatched and outranked by the alpha male.

8. ... and then tell all his buddies AFTERWARDS that he 'bitch slapped' him ...

We all know the type. Only brave in the privacy of their own bathrooms.
