teh feds say it wasnt a credible attack. it was creitable enough for one guy to jump out a 6 story window when the cops showed up. they had stolen guns, ammo, bullet proof vests, and a plan, in what way is that not credible?

Hey "Former Viewer", I personally APPLAUD KAKE for NOT censoring speech they may or may not agree with! There's a reason the First Amendment is the FIRST Amendment! You expect an organization of journalists to begin judging someone's expression? I've never seen a word posted on this website that our society generally deems to be obscene, so I assume KAKE does review all comments and decides not to post some. I'm sorry you prefer a society where people are discouraged to express their true feelings. How about you live your own values and keep your ideas to yourself?

They are just mad because Obama is winning!First off I'd like to question how the "feds" are downplaying this. When it is a high school student making a comment of assassination, they are rushed off and detained. So people that actually carry the guns and have a plan are not the real threat? I don't really get that.

What does it say about the people on here who are uncaring about a person it does not matter what political party he is. his life was threatened. I think what people are saying on here about him is rude and disrespectful. He is a man with a wife and kids what kind of people are you. You disgust me.

KAKE - I would imagine that you review comments before posting them on your website. It is appalling that you allowed somebody to post something like the first comment for this story. It is sick and I don't see threatening to kill somebody as a laughing matter. KAKE should be ashamed for allowing a comment like that to be posted. This is not the first time questionable comments have been allowed to be posted. I have watched your news station for years, but this morning was the last time. Good Bye KAKE!!!

This situation is going to get really hairy really quick. Now that this made headlines you know there will be more trying tocopycat. If I were Obabma I would be very careful and keep Michelle Obama and the kids home for awhile. Theres alot of stupid people out there.

I don't there is anything funny about this situation. So we should vote for McCain because there are some crazies out there? No thank you!
