Drooling idiot arrested, accused of threatening to kill Obama
2009-06-07
A man accused of making threatening statements about killing President Obama has been arrested in Nevada, the Secret Service said Saturday. Daniel James Murray was arrested Friday night in the parking lot of the Riverside Resort Hotel and Casino in Laughlin, Nevada, said Secret Service spokesman Malcolm Wiley.
Likes to take chances, does he?
Murray recently withdrew $85,000 from a bank in St. George, Utah, in two separate visits and told a teller, "We are on a mission to kill the president of the United States," according to a criminal complaint filed in federal court in Utah.
"Yeah, I could have told a 7-11 clerk who would have no idea who I am but I thought it might be scarier if I told someone who knows all about me, including my social security number and how much dough I have on me."
"And what kind of soft drinks I buy."
According to the complaint, Murray opened an account at Zions First National Bank on May 19 with an $85,000 check.

"With all this mess going on under President Obama with banks and the economy, I'm sure if citizens happen to lose their money, they will rise up and we could see killing and deaths," he said, according to the complaint.
"and arrests, too, don't forget the arrests"
On May 27, he returned to the bank and tried to withdraw $12,000, but lacked proper identification. "Not to be disrespectful, but if I don't get this money, someone is going to die," Murray said, according to the complaint.
That seems pretty disrespectful to me.

A bank manager was summoned and Murray was allowed to withdraw the money without proper identification.
The bank manager was thinking "if you do withdraw this money, somebody is going to prison," but he forebore to say so.
Murray would not accept a check and demanded bills no larger than $50, the complaint says.
"Yes sir, here's your money, Mr. Murray, a thousand and one, a thousand and two, a thousand and three ..."
"We are 94 million miles from the sun, and are in-between the sun and moon, and the eagle that flies between them and it's a giant step for mankind. ... I have traveled thousands of miles to be here and know things that are going to happen. ... the banking system will fail and people will die. ... there will be chaos in the world," Murray said, according to the complaint.
Sounds like there's plenty of chaos inside his head.
He then made his threat against the president, the complaint says.
"I'm going to get my giant sun eagle to snatch him right out of the Rose Garden and fly him to the Moon. He can't breathe there, you know: No air, and the ground is covered with Fruit Loops and there isn't a casino anywhere around. Got a drink?"
The next day, Murray returned to the bank, withdrew the rest of his money and closed the account, a bank teller told authorities.
"and we all wished him a happy honeymoon with Bubba."

Hmmm, Biden likes Obama and Hillary's not a idiot. Nope, don't know who it could be.

#3  I know they checked his deposit, the MO is exactly like depositing a fake check and withdrawing real cash.

I'd be suspicious as hell.

#2  Zions First National Bank Not what you think, grom. This Bank's home office is in Salt Lake City, the New Zion the Mormons were looking to establish.
