The moral to this story is.."get your brain fully engaged BEFORE you say something on the internet, period".
If you want to say something negative about a Government official, go ahead ! (I do all the time) But, Do not include any reference to physical violence whatsoever, in that statement. If you do, you are asking for what you get.
BTW It shouldn't be a secret to anyone that making a threat on a government official, especially a Federal official, elected, judge etc. is not only illegal, it's a Felony. This is not anything new, it's been around for decades and depending on the circumstances, may even be investigated by the FBI or Secret Service. The First Amendment wont help.
