Secret Service investigating university student Options

[latinprep12]

Twenty-one-year-old Phillip Bailey is being investigated for suggesting President Bush being shot.

Bailey is chairman of the University of Louisville Student Non-violent Coordinating Committee.

He says he posted a message on a Web site in response to someone else who suggested that looters in New Orleans should be shot. Bailey wrote that many people were simply trying to find necessities to stay alive. His posting called for shooting -- in his words --"every cop, national guard and politician who stands in your way, including George W. Bush if need be."'

The Secret Service says it'll be up to the U-S attorney's office to decide if Bailey is charged with making threats against the president. That offense can carry a five-year prison term.

Investigation, okay. Prosecution, no.

Being tactless isn't a crime, and neither is suggesting that a person ought to be harmed, although if a person makes that suggestion, the "threatened" person does have the right to protect himself within reasonable bounds (by doing a private investigation to make sure the threat isn't serious, etc.)
