Man Freed After Bush Castration Threat

POSTED: 10:08 am PST November 29, 2006


EAST ST. LOUIS, Ill. -- A mental patient who threatened to castrate President George W. Bush was sentenced to federal prison, but a judge ordered him freed because of time he's already served.

Arafat Nijmeh, 27, formerly of Belleville, was sentenced Tuesday to seven months in prison after pleading guilty to two counts of threatening the president.

He was released after U.S. District Judge David Herndon credited him with the eight months he spent in custody after being charged. Nijmeh had been jailed without bail after being declared a flight risk and threat to society.

Nijmeh was accused of threatening to harm Bush in comments March 18 to workers at the Alton Mental Health Center and to two Secret Service agents the following day.

The indictment alleged Nijmeh told the agents that his earlier threat to castrate Bush was "not too harsh, considering what he has done to my country."

1. You're too late....Cheney keeps Bush's balls in his mouth between his back teeth

2. wouldn't bush actually have to HAVE a set before the threat could be

credible?
and this guy is a mental patient?

[frylock]

3. like this was ever a valid threat?!

what a gawddamned joke this country has become.

8. No shit.

A threat to shoot should be taken seriously, as difficult as it might be to pull off, but could a razor wielding psycho ever get within a hundred feet of the president, much less get close enought to physically attack him? It's clearly a hypothetical atatement, not a threat.

Pitiful.

7. Like anyone is a mental institution has

the wherewithal to actually castrate BUSH?
