Threats We Can Believe In?

Well, it seems the drama keeps unfolding. Does anyone know if any other presidential candidate has had so many comments about assassination made toward them?

​Plot to Kill Obama: Shoot From High Vantage Point

One of those suspects spoke exclusively to CBS4 investigative reporter Brian Maass from inside the Denver City Jail late Monday night and said his friends had discussed killing Obama.

“So your friends were saying threatening things about Obama?” Maass asked.

“Yeah,” Nathan Johnson replied.

“It sounded like they didn’t want him to be president?”

“Yeah,” Johnson said.

Maass reported earlier Monday that one of the suspects told authorities they were “going to shoot Obama from a high vantage point using a … rifle … sighted at 750 yards.”

Law enforcement sources told Maass that one of the suspects “was directly asked if they had come to Denver to kill Obama. He responded in the affirmative.”

As for the suspects of the “attempt”, I wouldn’t worry about Johnson, Gartrell or Gromek. They’re only referred to by their first and last names. We should definitely be worried about Shawn Robert Adolph, though; everyone knows assassins have three names.
