The Not So Secret Service

By Abdul Hakim-Shabazz

I’m getting the details right now, but apparently the U.S. Secret Service is paying a visit to a Plainfield man right now over an e-mail he forwarded saying someone needs to “take out” Barack Obama.

I don’t have the e-mail yet or the name, but I’m understand the Secret Service was at the man’s house for at least three hours asking some questions.  A relative reportedly forwarded the e-mail to them.

From what I’ve gathered the man is not a bad person but definitely exercised some bad judgment.  Plus, I don’t think it helps to make threats regarding the life of any President, much less the first Black one; especially when you reportedly just bought a semi-automatic weapon a few months ago.
