A man was convicted of threatening to kill our president. Which is good. President Obama is our president, and you just don't do that. Stay vigilant, Secret Service.
Our feds have tools to identify these threats, of course. Department of Homeland Security understands that white male--probably from one of those southern states, you know--veterans of fighting our nation's wars are an identifiable threat. So--wait. What?
Oh. The man convicted wasn't a white southern male veteran who was radicalized into hate thoughts and motivated to kill? He was a Moslem who was radicalized into a Islamo-fascist killer? And an illegal immigrant, to boot?
Fancy that.
So ... Never mind. Sometimes you just can't generalize about an individual's beliefs and motivations.
