Man Arrested for Advocating Violence Against Federal Judges

An internet neo-Nazi “talk show host” and Second Amendment nut-job was arrested in New Jersey for stating that three federal district court judges “deserved death.”  He was upset by the ruling in National Rifle Assn v. City of Chicago, http://www.ca7.uscourts.gov where the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals refused to overturn a ban on handguns in the city of Chicago and some surrounding suburbs.  The man went further to post pictures of the three judges, phone numbers and the work address of the court and plot maps of the Dirksen Federal Courthouse in Chicago.  He made reference to the killing of another federal judge’s family members.  “Apparently, the 7th U.S. Circuit court didn’t get the hint after those killings,” he said in his posting. “It appears another lesson is needed.” The man will be transported to Chicago where he will hopefully be sentenced for a long prison term in the very building he suggested should be car bombed.  He faces ten (10) years in prison and $250,000 in fines.  The man was well known to law enforcement and to advocates who monitor hate-speech like the Southern Poverty Law Center (www.splcenter.org/).
