ADOLPH HITLER, THREATS, AND THE CONSTITUTION

 "Trump should just declare martial law, cancel the transfer of power, and round up the domestic enemies of our republic. The military and the american people would back him. During hitlers first term in office, circumstances were such that it was necessary for him to override the democratic process and become the absolute leader of his country. Trump should prob do the same if necessary or they will throw his family in jail and destroy the country."


In my previous blog, (scroll down at end of this post) I reported on the allegations in US v Hunt, in which the defendant was charged with making a series of violent statements about killing members of our government. One of Hunt"s reasons for his threats was his claim that the United States had become a "Zionist Occupied Government." 


As I predicted, one of his defenses was "I really didn't mean it." To show otherwise, i.e. that Hunt did mean everything he said because, inter alia, he was driven by extreme anti-semitic beliefs, the government introduced in evidence texts that Hunt had exchanged with his father (a retired Queens Family Court judge!)


At trial in Brooklyn last week, the jury heard evidence of the true beliefs behind Hunt's threats. 


The paragraph at the top of this post, urging Trump to emulate Adolph Hitler, is a quote taken from a message Hunt sent to his father.


The jury deliberated for three full hours before coming back with a verdict of "Guilty."


Unfortunately, the maximum sentence is only ten years.


A bientot.
