FBI Arrests Far-Right Radio Host Hal Turner

By GottaLaff

Via Oliver Willis, we see how far a wingnut will go to "cling to his guns":

Hal Turner, an intermittent Internet radio talk show host and blogger, was arrested today by FBI agents at his home in North Bergen, N.J., on a federal complaint filed in Chicago alleging that he made Internet postings threatening to assault and murder three federal appeals court judges in Chicago in retaliation for their recent ruling upholding handgun bans in Chicago and a suburb.

Internet postings on June 2 and 3 proclaimed ‘outrage’ over the June 2, 2009, handgun decision [...] stating, among other things: ‘Let me be the first to say this plainly: These Judges deserve to be killed.’ The postings included photographs, phone numbers, work address and room numbers of these judges, along with a photo of the building in which they work and a map of its location.

[...] He was charged with threatening to assault and murder three federal judges with intent to retaliate against them for performing official duties in a criminal complaint filed today in U.S. District Court in Chicago. [...]

‘We take threats to federal judges very seriously. Period,’ said Patrick J. Fitzgerald, United States Attorney for the Northern District of Illinois, who announced the charges with Robert D. Grant, Special Agent-in-Charge of the Chicago Office of the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

Right wing extremism doesn't hold a candle to all those wacky left wingy violent episodes, though.

Hmm? What's that? Oh yeah, there aren't a whole lot of scary, evil, threatening lefties making the news the way Turner has, my bad.
