Florida man charged with threatening Donald Trump on Facebook

trump-11-09-16

A Florida man is in jail on charges that he threatened President-elect Donald Trump on Facebook.

The South Florida Sun Sentinel reports that a federal judge on Friday ordered Kevin Krohn held without bond until another hearing next week.

The Secret Service arrested the 59-year-old Krohn on Thursday at his suburban Fort Lauderdale home after agents say he posted at least two threats against Trump. In one, he allegedly wrote that he was glad President Barack Obama hadn’t seized his guns “because I see a good use for one now” over a picture of Trump.

In another comment about Trump, he allegedly wrote “he will never last long” above a picture of a man holding a sniper rifle.

The Federal Public Defender’s Office was appointed to represent Krohn.

    Many of us feel this way about Trump, but you have to be careful about expressing those sorts of thoughts. I believe that Trump is the single most dangerous and stupid man ever to be elected. Would I cry if somehow he did not ever sit in the Oval Office? NO! Would I care how that came to be? NO! Will I ever threaten him, no. Did he suggest that his followers kill Mrs. Clinton? Yes. Let’s see him in jail for that. An idiot, a failed business man, an exporter of jobs and a client and a threat to the planet will sit as our President, let’s band together and get rid of him, legally.
