Another post for the insanity that’s brewing and overflowing in the Republican party. They still cannot accept the fact that Democracy worked and the best man won the presidential election.
Christopher Castillo threatened the president on his Facebook page.
“That’s the last straw, if he gets re-elected I’m going to hunt him down and kill him watch the life disappear from his eyes.”
Castillo’s father, Frank, defended him:
“A lot of people say things on Facebook that they don’t mean, and I understand the Secret Service has to do what they have to do, it’s their job,” said Frank Castillo of Tyler, Texas. “I would imagine they would find some people out there that really are loose cannons. Christopher is not one of them.”
The younger Castillo’s tone didn’t improve when he talked to the authorities.
When officials went to Christopher Castillo’s home Nov. 8, Castillo said “he made the comments out of severe anger towards [sic] the President for his views on health care and said ‘we’re all going to be screwed,’ ” the affidavit reads.
Christopher Castillo made further threats to the president in the interview with investigators, calling the president a terrorist and threatening to beat him up, according to court documents. When investigators told Castillo his statements violated federal law, he replied “it did not matter,” according to the affidavit.
Castillo is in custody, but will be released with a GPS monitor.

This lack of integrity, and it's no holes barred quest for power and profit enhancement at the expense of the system and restraints of government established over the last two hundred and thirty six years. Of course, they will disavow the actions of the fringe, but the fanatical refusal to behave decently and in the best interest of the country, rather than allowing that to fall to the wayside as they desperately protect their wealthy clients/donors status quo, and seek to gain and maintain power is at the root of this extremism.
