Federal prosecutors charged a Maryland man who allegedly threatened to kill Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) in profane messages calling the senator the “Zodiak Killer,” misspelling the internet meme positing a resemblance between Cruz and the sketch of the man behind the most famous unsolved murder case in U.S. history.

Justin Kuchta, a 39-year-old from the state’s capital of Annapolis, used a government computer and a virtual private network to send the his first missive via Eventbrite in July.

“Thank you for the address!!!” the July 19th message said, according to the criminal complaint. “I’m coming to murder all of you Satanist fuckers!!! Especially the chuckle-fuck Zodiak [sic] Killer [Member of Congress 1]!! That fat fake fucker ass will be the first on the gallows!! SEE ALL OF YOU FUCKERS REALLY SOON!!! With my fresh militia and weapons!!! Thanks for the info fuckers!!!”

Though the complaint shields the name of the lawmaker, it identifies him as being from Texas and doesn’t shield the taunting nickname.

Three days later, Kuchta allegedly sent a follow-up message on Eventbrite: “WE ARE COMING FOR CHUCKLEFUCK ZODIAK [sic] KILLER [Member of Congress 1]!!! THANKS FOR THE ADDRESS AND INVITE, SEE YOU ALL SOON ENOUGH!!!”

(Reminder: threats are bad EVEN if they involve Ted Cruz)

1. In July... And yet threats to election workers go unsolved to this day. Interesting.

2. Police only act when they want to act.

If the target is neither economically nor politically vital enough for them to care, it's "free speech".

(Which is why the entire concept is an utter canard which should be resigned to the dustbin of history.)

3. let me just point out

since the right seems to want to worship the send amendment as absolute the first seems absolute too.
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech,

if a right wing judge was actually concerned about the constitution they would bar the prosecution as a constitutional violation.

(and no im not calling for his release. i think just like their are limits on free speech for violent threats there should be strict gun control limits since they are even a bigger danger

4. Time to get on the Death Threats against Eric Swalwell, don'tyathink?

I haven't heard about any arrests in his case.

5. They got the chuckle-fuck part right.

Deaths threats against sitting senators are chuckle-fuckish in their own right, though.
