16 year olds tweet Calls for Obama's assassnation

Someone needs to assassinate Obama...like ASAP #DieYouPieceOfShit

That tweet has been RT'd over 300 times.  Over sixty people have marked it as a Favorite.  The kid has actually gained followers since she tweeted that.  I can only hope that the Secret Service and FBI are already contacting her and her parents, as we all should be contacting the Cincinnati Secret Service Field Office at CINCINNATI 513-684-3585 or the FBI via its tips website.  As is, ordinary citizens have already pastebinned  basic, openly, and publicly available information about her, including her school's contact info, should you feel inclined to leave an overnight message about hope or give an early morning ring to the Principal.

This kind of comment isn't uncommon from 16 year olds in my area, or 15, 14, 13, 17, 18, and everywhere-past-that olds too. I've heard 17 year olds calling for a revolution and saying they would fully support one. "The south will rise again," is often said around here completely seriously. And that is why I'm preparing for the worst case scenario with right wing nutters possibly pulling some stupid shit come the election in November.
History is full of maniacs, my friend, men and women of intelect, highly perceptive individuals, who's brilliant minds know neither restraint nor taboo. Such notions are the devils we must slay for the edification of pony-kind. Even if said edification means violating the rules of decency, society, and rightousness itself.

I don't think this really calls for an investigation per se. Just a couple people pulling up in Crown Vics and getting out wearing the black suits and sunglasses. Then letting the kid know in no uncertain terms this shit ain't cool, so knock it off.

I agree, if anything the SS should be poking around the 60 odd people who listed that tweet as their favorite.
The thing is, someone can say how much someone should die until the end of time, it is not acting on nor planning to do anything about it so it really warrants no special interest other than noticing someone whining again.

It does warrant an investigation, at least as long as they've ascertained that this is indeed a 16yo girl on Twitter, and not more/someone/thing else.
That said, I've stopped trying to anticipate what people around here want a while ago, I've found it makes things smoother.

I don't care where it came from, who it came from, or why it came from.  You threaten the President directly, Secret Service will be visiting you soon.
