Federal Grand Jury Investigates Possible Twitter Threats Against Bachmann

The judge in the case says the tweets are “extremely crude and in almost incomprehensible poor taste.”

A federal grand jury is investigating a man who used Twitter to allegedly threaten Sixth District Congresswoman Michele Bachmann while she was on the presidential campaign trail. The Twitter user allegedly “professed desire to engage in sadomasochistic activities with” Bachmann, according to a 13-page ruling U.S. District Court Judge Royce C. Lamberth released Thursday. The judge in the case says the tweets are “extremely crude and in almost incomprehensible poor taste.” According to a post on Bring Me the News, the judge said the person responsible would likely not face charges because the messages would not constitute a “true threat” to the congresswoman. Lamberth disclosed the investigation in a 13-page ruling that denied the user’s …

I wonder how parents reacted to the fact that students at Crosswinds are depressed and have to respond to the threats like that? I believe a deeper investigation of what is happening in this school should take place instead of putting blame on a child who came to Crosswinds attracted by a false missions and visions that never found their way into the classrooms.   more ›
