Michigan man arrested after threatening to kill CNN employees over "fake news."

Courtesy of CBS 46: 

A Michigan man was arrested after an FBI investigation, accused of threatening to travel to Atlanta to commit mass murder at CNN headquarters. 

According to federal court documents, the man, from a Detroit suburb, made 22 calls to CNN about a week ago. 

It began with claims of "fake news" and ended with threats of violence. 

The man told a CNN operator, among other things, "Fake news. I'm coming to gun you all down." 

He then called again, saying "I'm smarter than you. More powerful than you. I have more guns than you. More manpower. Your cast is about to get gunned down in a matter of hours." 

He continued, "I am coming to Georgia right now to go to the CNN headquarters to f---ing gun every single last one of you." 

So I have a question.

If this lunatic had been successful in killing a CNN news reporter, would that have made Donald Trump legally responsible in any way?

I mean the man has been fomenting violence against the media since he first rode down that escalator to announce he was going to run for president.

And since this is sure to terrify people in the Atlanta community is Donald Trump not also inspiring domestic terrorism?

    Trump has been fomenting violence, and actively encouraging aggression,racism, and hatred since the 1970's.

    I have no doubt if a CNN reporter was shot, Trump would tweet his approval for striking out a our free press, because he hates anyone or anything that isn't directly worshiping Trump

    FYI, and O/T, this is a big story,
    Jeff Sessions was grilled by Mueller's team last night:

    Yes, yes he is. Yet he gets away with it without penalty. Why is that?

    Katie Couric says "that's not the Matt lauer we knew." So, Katie, when you said 2012 that he pinched your ass a lot," why do you think that statement then didn't get picked up by the media, and why didn't you care?

    I have a guess. Because the liberal media is filled with the most hypocritical people on the planet and none of you have self-respect.

      You, 9:18, are the kind of "Dreamer" I would LOVE to see deported.

      "...and none of you have self-respect."

      Just the fact you make such stupid flat statements is one good reason.

      Oh fuck off with your 'liberal media' shit. The media, if you do your homework, is predominantly owned by right wing assholes that suck Trump's dick. Go look. But you won't because you're too ignorant to do anything but spew GOP talking points. Why are you even here? Take your shit to RedState, they'll welcome you with open arms.

      Self respect? You voted for fucking Trump and you talk about self respect? You put a criminal, an abuser, a vicious, racist, misogynist, a pathological liar, a narcissistic monster in the White House and you talk self respect? Hardly. YOU are responsible for the horrors that are being inflicted on this country and around the world. YOU are responsible for the families being torn apart, the hate crimes on the rise. YOU are responsible for the destruction of the environment, of our national monuments, of our rule of law. YOU are responsible because you voted for him. Until you denounce his payoffs to porn stars, his adultery, his fleecing of this country, his collusion with Russian operatives, his degrading of every institution in our history...YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE.

    Take the Win, Democrats

    The left has gotten so used to being sold out and betrayed that it can’t tell when it’s winning.

    ...Buoyed by grassroots support, the Democratic leaders in Congress turned the tables. They made it clear that they had two big preconditions for any long-term deal to fund the government. First, children’s health insurance would have to be extended for a substantial period of time. Second, Republicans would have to strike a deal to protect the 900,000 Dreamers who will be at risk of deportation unless Congress offers them a more certain future by the beginning of March.

    ...The conventional wisdom on the left has quickly become that this doesn’t matter because congressional Democrats will never have the guts to stand up for the dreamers. Based on their performance over the past year—and especially over the past days—I’m willing to take a bet that they will.

      I'm tired of seeing headlines decrying the Democratic shutdown defeat. First of all, it was the GOP's shutdown. The Democrats prevailed and got CHIP funded for the next six years. Now the GOP and their cowardly Senate leader, Mitch the Turtle McConnell has to bring the DACA issue up for a vote. If he doesn't by the next deadline, he'll be starting another federal gov't shutdown. It's not the Democrats who are the problem, folks. It's the Republicans just as they were the problem throughout President Obama's terms in office. It's actually amazing how much President Obama and the Democrats in Congress accomplished during those years of total seditionist behavior by the GOP. Now they own it all and they cannot do anything that helps people here or abroad.

    Donald Trump has broken so many laws around the world. When convicted he may never get out of prison. At this point he does not care. He knows it is over soon.
