It's a wonder he wasn't arrested sooner. Look at his dialog.

Wilson has a .38-caliber revolver registered to him and has a concealed weapons permit, Woodbury wrote in the probable cause statement.

"There's a target on your back now," said one message on March 22. "It only takes one piece of lead. Kill the (expletive) senator! ... Now that you've passed your health care bill, let the violence begin."

In other rambling messages over the next several days, the caller said, "I hope somebody puts a (expletive) bullet between your (expletive) eyes," and "I do believe that every one of you (expletive) socialist democratic progressive (expletive) need to be taken out."

And, he said, "I want to (expletive) kill you."

He, in my opinion, was just plain stupid he clearly made the threats,and he'll be lucky if he doesn't serve time, but most likely a suspended sentence. There is no doubt, IF the reported comments are true and accurate, that he crossed the line and now has to be responsible for his actions.

The FBI spokesperson was wrong. Just last week another idiot was arrested for threatening Eric Cantor.

In this nuts case, at least, it also sounds like more than threats.

Quote:
Wilson discussed assisting others in an attempt to kill the senator. Wilson's threats were in response to the passage of the Health Care Reform Act.
