Obama Threat

Filed under: Legal Matters > Politik > Barack Obama

raymond-geisel__opt1.jpg

No matter how much progress is made in society, there's still going to be those crazy asses out there.

Raymond Hunter Geisel, of Marathon, FL was arrested Thursday and held on charges after telling classmates at a bail bondsman training seminar that he would kill Presidential hopefull Barack Obama is he was elected.

WTF!

These threats come just days before Obama is scheduled to visit Florida.

Even more disturbing is that fact that authorities say after searching his vehicle and hotel room, Geisel was found to have a 9-mm handgun, ammunition, and other weapons.

Further searching found ammunition that included armor-piercing and rifle bullets. He even had body armor, a machete, police-style emergency lights, body armor, and two canisters of tear gas, among other military-style weapons.

Shit, he had enough ammo there for a small militia!!!!!

The Secret Service filed an affidavit in the U.S. District Court claiming that Geisel threatened to "kill, kidnap and cause bodily harm upon a major candidate for president of the United States, that is, Senator Barack Obama."

According to the classmates, sometime over the last weekend of July, the 22 year-old Geisel used a racial slur towards Obama and then proceeded to say, "if he gets elected, I'll assassinate him myself."

And, according to another classmate, one day after training, she claims she heard Geisel say "that he hated George W. Bush and that he wanted to put a bullet in the president's head."

That sounds like shit-talking to us. But this douche clearly needs psychological counseling!

Then, during an interview with the Secret Service, Geisel claims he couldn't remember if he made the threats against Obama and Bush, but he did say that "if he wanted to kill Senator Obama he would simply shoot him with a sniper rifle." He then claimed it was a joke.

If the Secret Service has you under questioning for threatening to kill the President, that's not a time to try and be funny.

And according to Geisel, he suffers from post-traumatic stress disorder, which affects his memory. He added that he had even checked himself into a psychiatric institution for treatment. Though he couldn't provide the names to any facilities he had been to.

As for the weapons, his excuse was that the gun he was using for target practice during training and that he used to use a machete and a hatchet for cutting through brush when he lived in Maine.

Geisel moved to Floriday in January of this year. He's currently unemployed and lives on a sailboat.

For those reasons, the judge decided yesterday to hold Geisel in jail until his trail as he might be a flight risk.

Geisel is scheduled to appear in court later this month on August 18th.

    CRAZY BASTARD!

  11. 11

    Obama is not as black as people think he is…lol
    -
    His white mom raised him and he grew up in Hawaii
    -
    So as an adult he is now becoming "black"
    -
    Oh well…Still undecided with my vote..

  12. 12

    Not to sound racist or mean, but this nation is FAR from being ready to be led by a black man. Despite our many advances in society and cultural acceptance, there are still way too many anglo-based roots in this country that would not accept or tolerate a non-white heading this country. I do believe his time would be limited if he actually won the election. He'd be another JFK, another Abe Lincoln. Sad but true.

  13. 13

    WHY DO EVERYTIME AMERICA WANTS TO PROGRESS AND CHANGE SOME WHITE RACIST DUSHBAG HAS TO COME WITH A LITTLE GUN WANTING TO KILL OBAMA JUST CAUSE HES BLACK,IF WE WANT AMERICA TO CHANGE WE HAVE TO BE MORE OPEN MINDED TO CHANGE.EVERYTIME WE HAVE A GOOD CANDITATE CRAZY PEOPLE WANT TO KILL THEM,ITS LIKE THEY ALWAYS WANT TO HAVE SHITTY LAWS AND A SHITTY HEALTHCARE AND SHITTY PRESIDENTS WHATA FUCK IS WRONGS WITH THEM????????????

    Re: Metalhead – You may be right Metalhead! In fact, I'm inclined to agree with you, but as long as he looks the way he looks, he's going to have problems in America.

  17. 17

    I have heard a lot of dumb people say this.

  18. 18

    that is just so stupid and ignorant.

  19. 19

    Re: Andy27 – Hey Andy, I hear this reasoning often and wonder, "When will this country be ready?". Seriously.

    Re: Metalhead – he's black enough to be hated by A LOT of people.

  21. 21

    I was wondering when that would start. Pray for the safety of the candidates.

  22. 22

    scary… what the hell is wrong with people? and why do half of the pyschos come from my fuckin state?

  23. 23

    white trash asshole needs to go shoot himself.

  24. 24

    The world sucks, because it puts up with discriminate behaviour such as racism and homophobia. But we have to also see that racism isn't just from whites, many black, asian, hispanic and etc people can also be very racist too, it's just there is hardly portrayed in the media. Homophobia is disgusting just as much as racism, people who think that somebody should be killed because of their sexuality is disgusting.

  25. 25

    This just the beginning b/c if Obama does become president guarnatee all the racists and skin heads will be trying to take him out. It's a shame that in these days and times there are still people like that.

  26. 26

    Who didn't see something like this happening?!?
    Bet there's more of a threat than just this guy. If one person is thinking like this….there's probably thousands more thinking the same way.

  27. 27

    Dude this kid went to my high school, he's a fucker, and has tons of problems! I can totally believe he did this, and hope he goes to jail where he belongs!!

  28. 28

    Re: LettyB – I'll bet you identify with all those persecuted souls don't you? Were people unkind to you? Don't you want to fight back? Poor thing. You just reek of insecurity. Are you physically or just mentally and emotionally about 10 years old? Sad pitiful thing. I'll bet you were a sad little girl, weren't you? Did the other children make fun of you and you knew one day you would get them back? I'll bet you looked a lot like you avatar, your other self: twisted and ugly and so easily laughed at. Isn't that true?

  32. 32

    what do u expect from an unemployed, no good, bible thumping, uneducated asswipe that comes from down south.

    He looks like a product of inbreeding…

  34. 34

    The world is full of haters!
    Look at some of These People comments here!

  35. 35

    I can't believe this is still happening in that country… why racism exist??? we are people!!! dammit….. we are all the same inside!!!! is just skin color

  36. 36

    as ususal a person with three two first names… it's always the way it seems… people stop naming your kids with three names please

  37. 37

    THIS just proves my point…some people shouldn't be allowed to breed!

  38. 38

    i actually despise OBama and i don't think him or McCain really will bring alot of positive changes to our country, but he should be able to speak and feel safe. Some people these days make me embarrassed to be an American. If our fore fathers that founded this country saw how politics are ran today, they would be disgraced.

  39. 39

    For some silly reason when I first saw him running I felt relief and thought wow, finally. But never did I think (assassination) (for being half black). How innocent of me, for some reason I thought America might have made it to the “next” level, but we have barely just begun and if he is elected he will have to constantly 27/7 have to watch his back and subsequently waste millions of American tax dollars on security, body guards, protection, bullet proof EVERYTHING. Ahh, America the great!

  41. 41

    does this really surprise anyone?

  42. 42

    What a nut job

  43. 43

    That Racist Bastard! He probably also doesn't believe in gay marriage. Where's his Ghost Costume? $10 says he has a Nazi symbol somewhere on his body.

  44. 44

    Re: LettyB
    Another piece to the puzzle reveals itself each day.

  45. 45

    OMH YOU USED THE WORD "MONGO" HA HA HA HA YOU TOTALLY GOT THAT ONE FROM ME PEREZ!
    That word describes this asshole quite well
    :)

  46. 46

    Unfortunately, I have a feeling this guy isn't the only one out there. There are too many "neo nazi" types who feel the same way (of note: 1 is considered too many in my book). I will be voting for Obama and I worry even now for he and his family. If someone can reach over and slice their neighbor's head off on a bus, why is the idea of an assassination attempt just "shit-talking"?

    Re: Anononon – Most Asians are just happy if you leave them alone. We're like bears. Don't attack us and you won't get the bear claw. hahahaha….

    Where's Jack Bauer when you need him. Although the plot of the first 24 was much better than this hillbilly loser.

  50. 50

    Re: fagsrus – No THAT was innapropriate. Stop preaching about not being discriminatory. Not all Southerner's are "bible thumpers". What, it's not okay to make a comment on someone's race or choice of lifestyle, but you CAN comment on their choice of religion and where they're from? How hypocritical and, quite frankly, immature.

    Re: buck – ahahaha… I know, right? The "land of the educated, open-minded people". The East Coast, mind you. haha. (Sorry, I had rude friends who always used to make fun of me being from Wisconsin and not being from somewhere smart and open-minded like the East Coast, or, "Where we're from". lol.)

    On a different note, I know I've posted already, but I want to make clear the fact that I think this bastard needs to be locked up for a long time. I thought people were getting past all this, but I supposed there will always be room for the wackjobs of the world.
