They've made a video called "Goodbye Obama" that shows how to use Google to prepare an assassination of President Obama.


Edited to add: The embed isn't working for some reason. Here's a link to it: http://www.youtube.com/user/254Dew

I've downloaded a copy and taken screenshots in case the YouTube user takes it down. If anyone needs these copies please let me know.

1. Rather than telling us,
have you contacted the Secret Service?

4. I'm not currently in the US so don't have a local office to contact
I've checked their website and it says...

How can I report a threat towards a protectee?

Contact your http://www.secretservice.gov/field_offices.shtml">nearest U.S. Secret Service field office which is listed in the "Emergency Numbers" section in the front of most phone books.

The Secret Service is interested in legitimate information relating to threats, plans or attempts by individuals, groups or organizations to harm Secret Service protectees. However, the agency does not desire or solicit information pertaining to individuals or groups expressing legitimate criticism of, or political opposition to, the policies and decisions of the government or government officials.

From: http://www.secretservice.gov/faq.shtml

Hopefully some DUers will see this and pass on the information.

3. I've added a link to their channel which has the video on its front page

In a way it's good that it didn't embed because now they won't know that it's been posted here to alert the SS.

5. it's a parody of those google tv spots
a moronic parody, not funny in the least (there have been some hilarious ones done by other people) but i don't think it's an actual threat. Or, i suppose it could be, but it seems like it's just a joke in very poor taste

6. I think you nailed it
Still, it's always best to notify the Secret Service and let the pros sort out whether or not there is any real threat. (And impress upon someone the seriousness and stupidity of what they are doing--with a little fear of God thrown in for good measure.)

9. It's obviously a "real" video
Here's the exact quote: "This is obviously not real and will never be able to or would want to to that."

I'm not a lawyer but I doubt that incoherent statement would stand up as a defense in court for posting a video that is a "how to" guide to assassinate President Obama. This amounts to "inciting, setting on foot and assisting", in my opinion.



http://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/18/usc_sec_18_00002383----000-.html">§ 2383. Rebellion or insurrection

Whoever incites, sets on foot, assists, or engages in any rebellion or insurrection against the authority of the United States or the laws thereof, or gives aid or comfort thereto, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both; and shall be incapable of holding any office under the United States.

this young turd is going to get himself in some real trouble posting a video like that.

12. It is just a joke, like when somebody says

“Nobody be alarmed, I don’t believe there is really a bomb on this plane. I just think that small box in the bathroom looks suspicious. I’m just sayin…”
