Prop 8 Trial Judge Is Gay; Should This Matter?
Two days before President Barack Obama touched ground in San Francisco, an indictment was issued against John Gimbel, 59, of Crescent City, accused of threatening to kill the President in an electronic message sent to an unidentified recipient.
Part of Gimbel's sanity-estranged email, according to SF Chron read, "'Kill that ... wife of yours .. Do it to his children and family first in front of him. Failure to comply. That'll teach him.'" Then he rambled on about "fed shit" as well. (Death threats against Obama [or anyone who appears slightly to the left] are commonplace nowadays. This is very little to do with anguish about healthcare reform or economic woes than it does with a black man being in the Oval Office. Period. We digress.)
But, like most angry tough guys on the internets, Gimbel wasn't the most lucid man to begin with. The Chron goes on to report of an incident a few years prior when, in an email, he asked Crescent City residents to "[g]rab those hi-powered deer rifles, each and every, and get in groups of 50 and more and go breeze away to dust the skull of the police chief." This was over a $5 parking ticket. Charming.

Where does it say in the story race had anything to do with it?
The post's author was making a parenthical aside, which usually indicates that they' re inserting their own opinion.
Confusing, I know.
But what I want to know is who was the email sent to? How did they even know about it?
Although the Secret Service is effective and highly vigilant.
When we were in high shcool friends of mine called in a fake dea*h threat from a pay phone against Reagan, and they showed up 20 minutes later.
Right - good editing!
(Although I'm sure it has more to do with crystal meth bubbling from the ground up there like sweet manna from Heaven than anything else.)
I really wish there was a thorough explanation regarding how the authorities discovered this email. If the recipient notified authorities, okay, but if this was captured without an informant I would like to know what sort of investigatory technique was used. Why? Because I
It cut off my "[heart] the Constitution + due process."

Clearly, the feds are on to you.
Anonymous internet comments should not be taken lightly.
For instance, I'd like Natalie Portman to know that I am serious when I say I'd like her to come to my house for a game of naked Twister.
Too bad for you, Natalie100@gmail.com is actually a 300 lb bald man.
