CEO Resigns After Social Media Posts Threatening President-Elect Donald Trump

Class E felony, up to 5 years in prison. (Though up to the discretion of the SS I think, sometimes they just pay you a nice visit).

Trump's speech is considered hate speech, because it attacks a group of people because of who/what they are. This is targeting a single person, and so isn't hate speech. But it is absolutely illegal, and absolutely should be investigated.

It's not a joking matter to threaten the life of any individual, be they President or otherwise.
