JACKSON, Miss. (AP) - A Wisconsin man has been arrested in Mississippi for threats he allegedly made against President-elect Barack Obama on the Internet.

Steven Joseph Christopher, 42, was arrested Friday by the Secret Service in Brookhaven, Miss., and was charged with threatening to assassinate Obama for what he claimed was "the country's own good," according to federal prosecutors. The criminal complaint was sealed until Christopher's appearance in federal court.

Judge James C. Sumner ordered Christopher held until a bail hearing next Thursday. Sumner suggested Christopher be held in isolation for his own safety.

1. An impressive degree of stupidity

Stephen Joseph Christopher appears on Youtube saying, "I'm going to fucking kill you"

[Cha]

3. He made it easy

for them then.

[merh]

6. what a dumb ass - youtube threats

what can we expect though, they adored GWB for years and he got away with all sorts of crimes, they figure they are untouchable as he is

[Cha]

2. Wow..pretty good

police work to catch him.

[Robb]

4. Interesting forum they've got there

Worth a read before they clean it up: http://www.alien-earth.org./forum/message.php?message=29927&mpage=1&showdate=1/16/09

[ecstatic]

7. from quick skimming, it appears to be an anti-semitic site

or something.

[Posteritatis]

12. It does look odd enough that I'll spend some time poking through it

Then again I have a thing for weird forums; adminned one of the big neopagan ones for a year or so awhile back despite being irreligious..

5. send the piece of shit freeper to gitmo!

8. must read

The thread this nut started is still up on the site

9. "I'll need bus fare"

:rofl:

[awoke_in_2003]

16. Funny thing is...

he has a good chance of going to Washington DC for free- of course, he won't be riding in the front seat. Who says stupid doesn't hurt.

[NMDemDist2]

20. and a gun and shooting lessons

:rofl:

[tblue37]

26. And he needs to be very close because he has never

fired a gun before, so he is asking for a "leak" in the Secret Service to help him out.

It sounds to me like the guy's alligator mouth just bit off his hummingbird ass.

[hootinholler]

27. OMG! I haven't laughed that hard in a while!

"And I'll need a leak in the secret service to get a close up shot, somewhere close to the podium, since I've never fired a gun, so I need to an easy shot off," Christopher was quoted as saying. "Wattdysay fellas? Any help?"

:rofl:

I think his defense will be it's a parody.

-Hoot

[merh]

10. why have they let it remain?

that is just weird.

[Posteritatis]

11. Evidence, example to other users, entertainment value...

There's some sites that simply don't nuke posts or threads for any reason unless compelled to by law. Doubt if these are one of them, but there's plenty of reasons to keep the thread up. If I was running a forum and someone pulled a stunt that stupid, I'd like to display their failure to pay their brain bill for all to see for awhile.

[merh]

13. well, that does make sense

leaving it up as an example

[sce56]

14. Unfortunately this will be just the first of many!

I just hope they always catch them and never get to the actual implementation of their ideas! All we need in this age is another lone nut (bullshit story to cover up a coup) assassination attempt. n

[awoke_in_2003]

15. Real stupid indeed...

Bush really pisses my father off. I was talking to him one day on the phone, and bush had done something really stupid and my father was more pissed of than normal at him. He lost it and said "bullet" and "bush" in the same sentence. I came unglued and asked him what the fuck he was thinking, reminded him that NSA has real good snooping software that picks up on certain words. I was watching my front door all day.

17. I wonder what his FreeRepublic name is.

[Abacus]

18. This guy has some serious issues

Take a look at some of these.

19. Who is he talking to?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hgsjKU3YZD4&NR=1

He was ordered held in isolation until Thursday (when Court is back in session) that is a very good thing.

[LiberalFighter]

21. Appears to me the guy is taking out his domestic problems on Obama.

What an idiot.

[LiberalFighter]

22. Information about the man: First, he is not registered to vote in Wisconsin.

He was arrested apparently in 2004 for harassing the Christian League for the Handicapped. *Address Walworth WI*

He was arrested for criminal trespass and disorderly conduct apparently at Christian League for the Handicapped in 2005. *Address: Arlington Heights IL*

He was charged with violating a domestic abuse order in Aug 2008. *Address: Arlington Heights IL*

It appears he is originally from the Arlington Heights IL area.

Second, he does not appear to be registered to vote in Cook County IL with the address filed with the Wisconsin Court.

I am wondering if the guy is even registered to vote and why he should even be so concerned about Obama. The guy should not be concerned for the "country's own good" when he is not registered to vote.

[merh]

23. watch one of his videos, he isn't playing with the same cards of

reason that you play with.

[LiberalFighter]

24. Yea... I'm thinking they could lock him up in a psych ward.

[ohio2007]

29. He could be room mates with John Hinkley

lol

crazy is what crazy does

[ohio2007]

30. such details are rarely leaked to the public when digging into police records of murderers

I think the ACLU should see if his rights have been violated
:sarcasm:

Big brother is watching and,
me thinks,
will use the powers granted over the past eight yeas to the executive branch.

31. Harassing the Christian League for the Handicapped?

:crazy: :wtf:

Good thing they got to him before he set his sites on the elderly.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

25. Let's just keep weeding them out of the gene pool

[ohio2007]

28. .."Christopher [ to ] be held in isolation for his own safety.".......

the gene pool is deep

[populistdriven]

32. he posted here as 'stevie' but the admins are racist also

http://www.proxywhore.com/invboard/index.php?showtopic=154659

[merh]

33. Looks like the authorities have ample proof of his threats.

wow - he is truly scary, I'm glad that they did pick him up.

[populistdriven]

34. they are really nervous

[merh]

36. As well they should be.

and that reply to the post is hysterical "get coffee for the Secret Service Agents"

[ohio2007]

37. Give one whack job this much free media attention and

http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=804_1232212123

the media whores will be pushing a greater # of 'the disturbed' over the edge.

nice job whores

jmo

35. We need national mental health care. Well, Stevie does.

Those posts are just amazing. Hope Stevie sits for a long time and someday learns to think better.

38. Nice wardrobe

"Christopher, who appeared in court Friday in shorts and a yellow T-shirt full of holes"

Too bad, I was kind of hoping he'd pull it off.
