Woman out of Prison after repeatedly threatening Presidents - Desperate cries for help
The first time Susan Collins threatened to kill a U.S. president was in 1985, when she was not quite 23 years old and Ronald Reagan was in office.

Since then, Collins has threatened to hurt or kill presidents George H.W. Bush, George W. Bush and Barack Obama.

The threats are not politically motivated, and Collins says she has no intention of ever following through. In essence, her actions have been a rather unorthodox cry for help.

"It was the easiest way to get myself thrown into prison without having to hurt anybody or really do anything," she said. "The only danger I am to anybody is myself."
