Alabama man indicted on threats against Fulton DA, sheriff over Trump case

Source: Fox5 Atlanta

- A 59-year-old Alabama man has been indicted on federal charges of transmitting interstate threats to injure Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis and Fulton County Sheriff Patrick Labat. Prosecutors say those threats were made over the probe into former President Donald Trump and others’ attempts to overturn the results of the 2020 election in Georgia.

Arthur Ray Hanson, II, made his first appearance in federal court in Huntsville, Alabama on Oct. 25. He will be formally arraigned on Nov. 13 in Atlanta.

"Sending interstate threats to physically harm prosecutors and law enforcement officers is a vile act intended to interfere with the administration of justice and intimidate individuals who accept a solemn duty to protect and safeguard the rights of citizens," said U.S. Attorney Ryan K. Buchanan. "When someone threatens to harm public servants for doing their jobs to enforce our criminal laws, it potentially weakens the very foundation of our society. Our office will labor tirelessly with our federal, state, and local law enforcement partners to help ensure that law enforcement officials are free to serve our communities without the threat of physical attack."

The indictment outlines how Hanson called the Fulton County Government customer services line twice and left two voicemails on Aug. 6. The first call was directed to Sheriff Labat and the second for DA Willis, according to U.S. Attorney Buchanan. In both calls, the indictment state Hanson threatened violence on the public officials.

And as unhinged as they are hayseed.

Some highlights of threats to the sheriff:

"If you think you gonna take a mugshot of my President Donald Trump and it’s gonna be ok, you gonna find out that after you take that mugshot, some bad [expletive]’s probably gonna happen to you."

"I’m warning you right now before you [expletive] up your life and get hurt real bad."

"Whether you got a [expletive] badge or not ain’t gonna help you none."

And for Ms Willis, of course he gets much--much--more explicit:

"Watch it when you’re going to the car at night, when you’re going into your house, watch everywhere that you’re going."

"I would be very afraid if I were you because you can’t be around people all the time that are going to protect you."

"When you charge Trump on that fourth indictment, anytime you’re alone, be looking over your shoulder."

These monsters are fundamentally broken, in every way, and there's no fixing them.
