This is ridiculous,tax payers are going to pay for his trial and his “Gray Bar Hotel” stay.If they would have found items at his home or car such as,guns/explosives/maps/weapons of mass destruction I probably would consider him a threat.More than likely he doesn’t have two brain cells that can make connection to carry out a “Goat Roping"rodeo.The FBI or the CIA could always keep a eye on this guy to make the determination if he was a real threat.

Can’t fix stupid.

Maybe the president wiil invite him up for a beer and a teachable moment.

This silly hick was just running his mouth on the internet now he could to prison.  What happend to freedom of speech?
