Man sentenced to prison for tweeting “let’s kill the president”

A judge has sentenced an Alabama man to federal prison for threatening
President Barack Obama on Twitter, according to the U.S. Attorney's

of Obama. He must serve three years on probation after finishing the
prison term.

inflict bodily harm on the president by tweeting the message, "Let's
kill the president. F.E.A.R.," in September.

threatened to kill Obama. He received a warning from the Secret
Service in June, but continued to makethe threats.
"Serious question? If you knew about a terrorist group planning to
kill the president,would you tell? I kinda wanna see if they can!
F.E.A.R," he tweeted on September 19, 2012.
He was arrested two days later.
