Man accused of threatening Obama appears in court
Source: Chicago Trib

Daniel James Murray allegedly told a bank teller his job was 'messenger of God.' His mother had a restraining order.

Reporting from Las Vegas - The customer had mussed hair, an $85,000 check and an odd question for the teller: Was her bank solvent?

"With all the mess going on under President Obama with banks and the economy," the man said last month, according to court papers, "I'm sure if citizens happen to lose their money, they will rise up and we could see killing and deaths."

Then he opened a savings account at Zions First National Bank in St. George, Utah.

Daniel James Murray, 36, originally from upstate New York, whose neighbors had nicknamed him "Cape Man" and who said his license plate read "ACHOSEN1," appeared in Las Vegas federal court Monday accused of threatening Obama. He was ordered to be transferred to Salt Lake City to face the charge, which carries a possible sentence of five years in prison.

A lanky man with glasses and dark stubble, Murray remained stone-faced as a prosecutor listed his alleged menacing statements, including, "We are on a mission to kill the president of the United States."

1. I'm not going to tolerate any arguments about him being "mentally ill"
That's just a psychobabble excuse to mollify the evil that he did.

He's a terrorist, and he should be waterboarded and warehoused for life.

3. Mentally ill=check; Access to firearms=check; Lots of cash at hand=check
Plenty of spare time=check; Estranged from family=check. Lets hope he doesn't see daylight again.

4. As reactionary as it sounds...
...we really need to purge these elements from our society. I'm sick of these psychos trying to force us to live in fear. I'm afraid Tiller's murder was just the first shot. There will be more.
