Homeless man gets nearly 5 years for Bush threats

TAMPA, Fla. (AP) - A mentally ill homeless man will serve 57 months in federal prison for threats he made against President Bush.
Timothy Wade Pinkston threatened in August to go to Washington and shoot Bush. At the time, the 48-year-old was committed to a hospital psychiatric unit.

Court records say he repeated the threat to Secret Service agents, saying he didn't like the president's foreign policy or his handling of the war in Iraq.

That's pretty much it for you DUmmies out there, isn't it?  If they can get this guy for making threats to the president, what chance do you reasonably sane ( :rotf: :rotf: :rotf: :rotf:) DUmmies have?


See ya!

Now we just have to wait and see who is missing at DU so we know his online name.

Look on the bright side. He now has a place to stay, 3 hots and a cot. Who says conservatives don't care about the homeless.

Thats my thinking.
