Man Emails The FBI, I’m Going to Kill The President

Written by News One on January 30, 2009 12:17 pm

A Colorado man has been indicted on charges of threatening to kill President Barack Obama and blow up the Mall of America in suburban Minneapolis.

Timothy Ryan Gutierrez, 20, surrendered Thursday at the FBI’s office in Durango and was being held without bond, the U.S. attorney’s office said.

He was to appear in court Friday. Gutierrez had no listed phone number and it was not known if he had an attorney.

“Both threats were taken seriously, and both threats were investigated immediately by the FBI,” said Jeff Dorschner, spokesman for acting U.S. Attorney Dave Gaouette.

Gutierrez faces one count each of transmission of threats and falsely threatening to use explosives.

The indictment claims Gutierrez e-mailed the FBI’s Washington office eight days before Obama’s inauguration saying: “I’m going to assassinate the new president of the United States of America. P.S., you have 48 hours to stop it from happening.”

The indictment says a second e-mail threatened to blow up the mall with 40 pounds of C4 explosive and TNT planted on seven cars parked outside.

“Good luck thank you and God bless the you know the rest time is wasting,” the e-mail read, according to the indictment.

Cortez Police Chief Roy Lane told the Cortez Journal that an FBI agent and two Cortez officers went to Gutierrez’s home and spoke to him on Jan. 12, the day the indictment says the e-mails were sent.

It wasn’t clear why Gutierrez wasn’t arrested then, and Lane referred those questions to federal authorities. Dorschner and FBI spokeswoman Kathy Wright said they could not comment.

Other men in Florida, Hawaii, Mississippi and Nebraska also face charges in connection with making threats against Obama.

    What is the difference between and email and the posters that people are parading around that say “Kill Obama and his family” in a recent story. A written threat is a written threat? Arrest those nuts too!

    in a land full of “others”…(nobody is TRULY american, but the natives who were here before columbus)…it’s hard to understand why there are still people who still believe that america should be lily white. as though blacks or any “minority” cannot rule the nation. man, this country was built on the backs of blacks…but obama is the people’s president–not just the presidents of blacks in this country. his skin color gives him no detriment to his intellectual ability, so why is his skin color an issue. man, half of the man is white! lol these people who are threatening him and who have that same 1950s and 1960s mentality need to just sit down, shut up, and just lock their behinds in the house. this is a new america. an america that is representative of “all” the people who live here, not just white folks. goodness! it’s not about race. it’s about how we’re gonna bring these troops home and get the middle east back cool with us, how are we gonna get out of this recession, how are we gonna afford healthcare, how can the millions of unemployed people get their jobs back or get jobs in the first place…these are things that matter! lol
