US man pleads guilty to threatening to kill Rep. Ilhan Omar
[IsraelTimes] Patrick Carlineo admits to charges that carry up to 10 years in prison, insists he never meant to actually harm the controversial congresswoman.

A western New York man pleaded guilty Monday to threatening to kill US Rep. Ilhan Omar
...Somali-American Dem representative from Minnesota. She is apparently married to her brother and may be her own grandmaw on her mother's side...
of Minnesota.

Patrick Carlineo entered the plea Monday in Rochester, admitting to charges that carry up to 10 years in prison. His sentencing is set for February 14.

US Attorney James Kennedy Jr. said the case highlights that free speech rights carry the responsibility "that individuals not make threats to harm politicians simply because they may disagree with them."
"Unless if they're Republicans. Then it's 'anything goes'". See Dick
"Dick" Durbin's correspondence friend James Hodgkinson

Omar, a Democrat, is among the first Moslem women in Congress. Her office had no immediate comment on Carlineo’s plea.

Prosecutors say the 55-year-old called Omar’s office March 21, told a staffer the congresswoman was a "terrorist" and threatened to shoot her.

Carlineo later told the FBI that he is a patriot, hates people he perceives to be radical Moslems in the US government, and loves Republican President Donald Trump
...dictatorial for repealing some (but not all) of the diktats of his predecessor, misogynistic because he likes pretty girls, homophobic because he doesn't think gender bending should be mandatory, truly a man for all seasons......
, according to a criminal complaint.

Carlineo’s lawyer, Sonya Zoghlin, says Carlineo is passionate about his political beliefs and his right to express them.

"He has taken responsibility for using threatening and inappropriate language to express those beliefs in this instance," she said in an email, adding that Carlineo never intended to harm Omar and never made any plans to do so.

Carlineo’s plea included admitting he illegally had guns. He’d been barred from possessing them after a 1998 felony criminal mischief conviction, prosecutors said.

#1 Never warn a politician you are about to wack them. The jail time is only bearable if you succeed.

#3 I mean, I despise Omar, but I don't want her dead. Thrown out of office, impoverished, deported maybe, but not killed.
Although I admit that I would read her obituary with great joy.

#7 The only thing he's guilty of is not doing it.

People should have torn that bitch to shreds just for saying that 'some people did something' shit the way she did.

#8 WTF?

Where are the arrest warrants for DeNiro, Griffin, and 1,000+ other nuts who have called for, or directly threatened, the assassination of Republicans?

#10 ...hmmm...not the FBI, the Secret Service. From the likes of this failed coup, a letter should go into the FBI's files.
