Holliston Man Allegedly Threatens to Kill Obama, Muslims, Homeland Security Officers
Source: Patch.com
HOLLISTON, MA A Holliston man who allegedly threatened President Barack Obama, Homeland Security officers and a mosque is facing charges, after police found his weapons stockpile, the Justice Department said Monday.
An attorney said Joseph Garguilo, 40, denies the allegations. His client was arrested early Saturday morning in connection with his possession of a trove of weapons, ammunition and incendiary material, as well as threats to use them, according to United States Attorney Carmen Ortiz's office. He has not been charged for the threats, but does face one charge related to his reported weapons collection.
Garguilo made a preliminary appearance in U.S. District Court in South Boston Monday, where he was held without bail until his detention hearing Wednesday. He was charged in a criminal complaint with being a prohibited person in possession of ammunition.
In connection with a separate case, Garguilo is under a restraining order that bans him from possessing firearms and ammunition. That order was put in place after a finding that there is substantial likelihood of immediate danger of abuse, according to allegations in court documents, as quoted in Ortiz's press release.

(12,504 posts)have been displaced by the Yuppie movement of the 80s. The Irish of Southie and Italians of the North End (and the other greater Boston neighborhoods) have moved on because it is now far too expensive to live in our hometowns.
It was a blue collar city with great festivals (North End & South Boston) and amusement park fun times (Nantucket and Revere) and playing stickball on side streets with shady trees. That is all gone now, including the Dutch Elms. The assassinations of favorite sons JFK and RFK seemed to start sucking the Liberal life out of the state. Dallas is a dirty f*cking swear word in Boston.
Post Dukakis we had right-wingers Weld and f*ckstick Romney for governors, snd now the state has Baker (R). A sad decline in our liberal spirit. I miss it.

(17,669 posts)I remember when our President was running and later had just been elected, I would check the news every morning as soon as I woke up, with my heart beating in my chest with hope that he was safe.
That went on for about 7.5 years.
These nut balls have been so cynically mislead, with their fear and hate and ignorance used against us as a people to weaken us. The fox "news' and hate radio people should all be ashamed and quit immediately.
