The Secret Service announced today that a juvenile was behind the Facebook posting that asked whether President Obama should be assassinated, calling it a prank that would not lead to prosecution.
The agency declined to release the juvenile’s name, age or residence.
The Facebook posting, put up Saturday but since removed, posed a quiz to readers, “Should Obama be killed?” The options were no, maybe, yes, and “yes, if he cuts my health care.”
Secret Service agents — who investigate all potential threats against presidents — spoke with the child and the parents, and determined that there was no intent to harm Obama, agency spokesman Ed Donovan said.
Dammit. It was so much more fun when it was a raving right wing racist nut job.
