chevysoldier Posted May 18, 2011 Report Share Posted May 18, 2011 "A man walked in with a suit and glasses and he said he was part of the Secret Service," LaPinta said. "He told me it was because of a post I made that indicated I was a threat toward the President."Seriously?? Actually he's a pretty smart kid to know that there may be people out there that will want to retaliate against Obama. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scruit Posted May 20, 2011 Report Share Posted May 20, 2011 I've heard two different versions of the post me made. In the story he says; "I was saying how Osama was dead and for Obama to be careful because there could be suicide bombers," says LaPinta.But the actual facebook posting that got the secret service riled up was:"First order, suicide bomb Obama. Suck it!" http://blogs.seattleweekly.com/dailyweekly/2011/05/vito_lapinta_tacoma_seventh_gr.phpSo now, if the secret service *didn't* follow up on that kind of posting then we'd give them hell if it actually went down.Kid has a big mouth and deserved a visit from the Secret Service. Whether they are allowed to interview him without his mother is another matter. Maybe a staff member acted as the required "guardian", I dunno. As the remedy for violating interview procedure is typically to exclude evidence gained therein, and no evidence was actually gained, he has no apparent recourse. How about this: Don't threaten to kill the president, y'punk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scruit Posted May 20, 2011 Report Share Posted May 20, 2011 Pretty sure that's a nope.They may have claimed an exigency of circumstances and had a school staff member act as guardian. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
