But not one Obama supporter faced jail for threatening to assassinate Mitt RomneyPaul Joseph Watson
High school teen Cameron D'Ambrosio was arrested on terror charges and faces up to 20 years in prison for a Facebook post in which he made threats against the White House and mentioned the Boston bombings. "He posted a threat in the form of rap where he mentioned the White House, the Boston Marathon bombing, and said 'everybody you will see what I am going to do, kill people," Methuen Police Chief Joe Solomon?told the Valley Patriot.
In addition to the threats made against the White House, D'Ambrosio also posted a ?Wanted: Dead or Alive? poster of himself and made remarks such as "Fuck politics, Fuck Obama and Fuck the government!!"
D'Ambrosio was arrested after another student brought the Facebook post to the attention of school administrators, who immediately contacted police.
"I do want to make clear he did not make a specific threat against the school or any particular individuals but he did threaten to kill a bunch of people and specifically mentioned the Boston Marathon and the White House. The threat was disturbing enough for us to act and I think our officers did the right thing," said Solomon.
According to Solomon, D'Ambrosio faces up to 20 years in prison for making terroristic threats under MGL. Ch. 269, Section 14. His bail has been set at $1 million dollars.
While no one can excuse the threats made by D'Ambrosio, the case underscores how authorities are increasingly focusing on social media in an attempt to track down violent rhetoric.
But while D'Ambrosio faces 20 years in jail for threatening Obama, not a single Obama supporter who threatened to assassinate Mitt Romney during the 2012 election campaign was charged with any kind of felony.
As we?documented at the time, hundreds of Obama voters took to Twitter to make violent threats against Romney and his supporters with little response from the authorities.
The video below, taken from D'Ambrosio's YouTube channel, illustrates the amateur nature of his work and how his threats were more likely the product of a bored teenager rather than a terrorist mastermind.

Soon all hell will break loose, even young people are fed up with this cuntries bullshit and who can blame any patriot. Our government is not for the people any more than the elected ass clowns of our counties , cities and fucking no good states are for us they are in fact for whoever hands them money to do the devil's bidding. Fucking scum. Just goes to show the level to which free speech has been suppressed in the U.S.A. I thank my lucky stars that my nation(Canada) isn't quite so screwed up yet. While it is a federal offense to make threats against a President in America, though I could do so with impunity here. In Canada the intended victim of a threat must be reasonably afraid that such threat could be carried out for it to be a crime. A non-specific threat of killing unnamed people by definition cannot reasonably be perceived by a specific person as being a credible threat.
I am surprised that Eminem hasn't been hunted down by the American Gestapo for his rap lyrics, guess he is just another one of the privileged one-percenters.
The kid is an idiot for even threatening it. This article sounds like your apologizing for his stupidity.Talking about the threats to Romney, a candidate versus the threats to Obama, the actual President, is lame. 9988 jump off Mt Everest please Thank You.

We've seen it in the movies and perhaps even witnessed it in person, but most of us never realized it was an offense punishable with lots of prison time. 
Minneapolis police Sgt. David Clifford, a SWAT team leader once lauded by the United Nations for the "highest level of dedication and professionalism," was charged with first-degree assault Tuesday in an off-duty incident last month that left a Ramsey man temporarily on life support.
