Man threatened to 'slit the throats' of Secret Service agents and their families after they probed him for assassination claim

[SNOWFLAKE]

From the title alone, one must assume this guy is a Trump "hater", right?

Guess again:

A Texas man hurled death threats at two Secret Service agents and their families — saying he would "slit" their throats — after he "became angry" with them for investigating an alleged statement he made about assassinating Barack Obama.
"I'm going to kill former President Barack Obama and any security element of his," Langston allegedly said. Langston was ultimately not charged with threatening to kill Obama after it was determined that he did not pose a true threat to the former president or his security detail. But that didn't stop Langston from retaliating on social media, according to prosecutors.
"According to evidence presented during trial, on February 21, 2025, Langston posted a message to X.com … criticizing two U.S. Secret Service agents and then declaring, '2nd Amendment in full effect. Gonna slit the throats of agents and their families," the DOJ said Monday in a press release. "Evidence in the case revealed that Langston's statements went well beyond mere political rhetoric or bluster and constituted true threats directed at specific federal agents," the department charged.

Throughout his trial, jurors heard evidence that Langston — who identified himself on X under the username "17" — "became angry with the two specific Secret Service agents" after they investigated the alleged Obama threat.

Best not to get in the way of his confirmation bias. It only causes confusion.

Reads like this Tristan Langston is a lunatic who is about to be sentenced to a very long federal prison sentence. Have fun with that one.

BTW, I did not find much in his support for anyone directly, but a ton of people he did not like.
