"A Florida man pleaded guilty on Wednesday to threatening to kill President Barack Obama in an e-mail that said "the blood of Obama will run down the streets" of the U.S. capital, a federal prosecutor said.
Nathan Wine, 21, admitted to a judge in Tampa, Florida, that he had sent the threatening e-mail to the U.S. Army Recruiting Command on Nov. 5, the day after Obama won the U.S. presidential election, U.S. Attorney A. Brian Albritton said in a news release.
Wine, who faces up to five years in prison, acknowledged he meant the e-mail as a death threat, according to court documents that did not reveal a motive.
Wine said in the poorly spelled note that he would "not mind going behind bars for being a trigger man on this tyrent." LinkHere
