Maybe not today, but very soon! His name is Jay Martin and he has spent the evening making sure everyone on Twitter knows he is “dead fucking serious” about wishing death upon Barack Obama . According to his Facebook page, Jay Martin graduated from Vatterott College last year with an IT degree and currently resides in Federal Way, WA. His About Me Page says: “Socially aware, Deep thinker, Artistic, Hip Hop Aficionado, free thinker, Funny Guy.” Oh, and he really, seriously, honestly, wants to kill President Barack Obama. (Thanks for the add, Jay!) It started with this dispatch from Martin’s Twitter account —we’re guessing inspired by tonight’s health care vote: After a bunch of users were like, WTF? Are you serious? Martin responded: But, like, seriously, Jay Martin. Do you REALLY want to kill Barack Obama? Please erase all doubt from our mind: Yikes, OK. Um. We’ll give you one more chance… You say you’re a “funny guy.” So this is just a really, really tasteless joke. Right? RIGHT!? Well! Hope you have a good lawyer. You will definitely need it. Although, Jay Martin is actually pretty excited about his impending legal troubles! You may say you “didn’t do anything wrong,” but the law—specifically 18 USC Sec. 871: —does not agree with you. Jezebel already went over this ! Whoever knowingly and willfully deposits for conveyance in the mail or for a delivery from any post office or by any letter carrier any letter, paper, writing, print, missive, or document containing any threat to take the life of, to kidnap, or to inflict bodily harm upon the President of the United States, the President-elect, the Vice President or other officer next in the order of succession to the office of President of the United States, or the Vice President-elect, or knowingly and willfully otherwise makes any such threat against the President, President-elect, Vice President or other officer next in the order of succession to the office of President, or Vice President-elect, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than five years, or both. When asked for comment via Twitter, Martin responded. Well, no. Honestly, we wanted to give you one last chance to say anything that might convince us and the authorities you are just some idiot kid pounding randomly on a keyboard rather than an idiot kid who is actually issuing serious death threats against the president via Twitter. We will remind you that this conservative blogger is currently under investigation by the Secret Service for saying way less. Hey, FBI, here’s your guy!
