Blogger Charged With Threatening To Kill Three Federal Judges

Blogger and Internet radio host was arrested by the FBI on Wednesday after urging the killing of three 7th Circuit judges who declined in a court ruling this month to overturn laws banning handguns. In a Web posting on the same day of the ruling, blogger Hal Turner called the decision an "outrage" and said the judges "deserve to be killed. " The complaint charged Turner with threatening to assault and murder the judges in retaliation for performing their official duties.

Mike Gentry For the people thinking "First amendment! First amendment!", it should be clear that this guy didn't (allegedly) do something simple like say "those judges are douchebags who should die" and leave it at that. After saying they should die repeatedly, he allegedly put up home addresses and pictures and referenced another incident where a judge's family was murdered because someone didn't like the outcome of the ruling. 6.27.09 @12:55PM
