CHICAGO -- A blogger accused of threatening the lives of three Chicago-based federal judges by saying they "deserve to be killed" has been ordered held without bond.
U.S. Magistrate Judge Martin Ashman says Hal Turner of North Bergen, N.J., is too great a danger to the community to be released on bail.
Prosecutors did acknowledge that Turner has been an FBI informant, paid by the government to spy on radical right-wing organizations. They say he told federal marshals about a man's threat to disrupt a Chicago rally following President Barack Obama's election.

CHICAGO -- A New Jersey blogger accused of threatening to kill three federal judges has been an FBI informant and even told authorities about a potential plot to assassinate President Barack Obama, his lawyer said Tuesday.
Blogger Hal Turner pleaded not guilty earlier in the day to charges that he threatened to kill three Chicago-based federal appeals judges.

I cant see how saying someone deserves to be killed is threatening them?
That's not saying you are going to kill them is it?
I mean plenty of people say everyday they think someone deserves to be killed isn't that just an opinion not a threat?
Perhaps they should now round up and arrest everyone who says to someone they hope they die?

I was once charged with disturbing the peace over the telephone for saying to a bank manager that one day someone isn't going to take her stuff and they will kick her butt. Only I said it in a more crude way. I cleaned it up for the web site. I never said it would be me; I said SOMEONE. I told her she ws lucky that i was non-volient yet the moron only heard three words out of the whole statement.

What do you do then when a judge really does deserves to be killed? Keep your mouth shut because you're afraid his pals come to the rescue?

Even if I knew the outcome I would not have done anything different. I always stand up for myself no matter what.
A person is looked at as a voilent or bad person if they simply speak their mind or show any type of anger or emotions.
