12/07/02 - Man sentenced for talking of "burning Bush"

WASHINGTON, Dec 6, 2002 (Xinhua via COMTEX) -- A US man, who talked of "burning Bush" before President George W. Bush visited South Dakota in 2001, was sentenced on Friday to 37 months in prison.
Richard Humphreys of Portland, Oregon, was convicted in September of threatening to kill or harm Bush.

Humphreys vowed to appeal the sentence, saying that the comment was his right to free speech.

Humphreys made the remark as he talked with a truck driver at a barroom, their discussion was overheard by a bartender who reported to police about the possibility of someone burning Bush.

"I said God might speak to the world through a burning Bush," Humphreys testified during his trial in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. "I had said that before and I thought it was funny."


We're in good hands.....:rolleyes:

So you read Xinhua often?  I guess we know where you really stand now.  :)

But seriously, what's wrong with enforcing the laws of the country.  These aren't new laws and I don't see any new interpretation here.  What's wrong, you afraid that you and your buddy MG might end up on "The List"?  :)

Making statements that in effect suggest/order/recommend/show intent to kill the CiC has been a crime for a long time - long before George Bush was President.

And here's another revelation for you - people were jailed for making the same threats vs. William J. Clinton when he was the CiC. You didn't read about it in the papers though.

Wiezelle thanks for story! Ever since the fall of the Soviet union and the closing of Pravda I have been at a loss to find accurate news reporting about the USA. It seems Xinhua might do the job for me now! Phew...

Death to Amreeka!

It's obvious how much you miss living under a dictatorship.....but don't worry, it won't be long until we're all required to throw up the stiff arm and screech "Heil Bush".

You will feel right at home then.

"I said God might speak to the world through a burning Bush," Humphreys testified

Mike/wulfie, that seems awful vague to be considered a threat to chimpys life.

I view it as a progression of the gradual destruction of the traditional US way of life by chimpy and his thugs.

Snip off a bit of freedom or rights here and there and eventually the common man will have none.

Heil Chimpler!

i you believe in the old testament, i would expect outrage at the fact that somebody got arrested for suggesting that "G-d might speak to the world through a burning Bush".  didn't charlton heston already portray that in a movie?  it seems so much more likley than G-d speaking through a drooling idiot

This story paints a slightly different picture of the situation.  Its strange the one you cited didn't mention lighter fluid and a match... nor The President arriving in town later that hour.

Threatening the US President has been a federal crime for some time now. So besides your irrational psychotic haterd of Bush what was the point you were trying to make wiezelle?

Bush is a lot of things, but he's no Hitler, or even a contemporary analogue of Hitler.
