Veteran threatens President Trump

[Ray Davis jr]

Dear readers, 

Below is an article about a veteran who threatens the president and is paid a visit by the U.S. Secret Service and is arrested. 

Always remember no matter how mad you get, not to threaten people, especially the President. 

Sincerely,

Ray B Davis Jr

 A Brooklyn New York man with a history of mental illness upset with reductions government programs left several graphic messages on the White House’s web page threatening to kill President Donald Trump at his next public speaking engagement, federal prosecutors allege.

Justin Christopher Moore, 53, wrote three messages on the “Contact Us” section of the Whitehouse website on Sunday. He gave his name, address, e-mail address and phone number, according to a criminal complaint.

Law enforcement sources described Moore as an unemployed U.S. Navy veteran.

Moore stated in his message:

“I am in the process of planning your execution and feel that you must be taken care of. You feel that 1.4 million homeless in (A)merica is okay and that reducing subsidies to cause this is okay,” he wrote in his first message, according to a criminal complaint. His second message threatened Trump at his “next public speaking engagement.” His third message went into more detail, the complaint alleges, criticizing Trump for “supporting the repeal of subsidies for people who need it.”

The Secret Service contacted Moore at his home in downtown Brooklyn Monday, and he admitted to making the threats and knowing they were illegal, according to the Secret Service.

“I haven’t started the planning process yet,” he said, according to the criminal complaint. He also admitted to making threats against the vice president and “about 18 members of Congress,” the complaint alleges.

Moore, who was arrested on a federal charge of threatening the president, appeared in Brooklyn Federal Court Tuesday.

Magistrate Judge Vera Scanlon ordered him held without bail, after his lawyer, Charles Millioen of the Federal Defenders, reserved the write to apply for bail at a later date. The judge noted Moore’s history with bi-polar disorder and schizophrenia, and made reference to a recent suicide attempt.
