The tweet I thought was most likely to interest the FBI said, “#ILove Obama because he has motivated me and millions of others to enhance their marksmanship by exercising their Second Amendment birthright.”
Was that an assassination threat? Not in great taste on President’s Day, since we have lost both great and obscure presidents that way.

During the Ferguson riots, a young and kind-hearted colleague said reading the tweets about it was destroying his view of humanity.
