How do I go about reporting this to the Secret Service?

[dem629]

Edit: I am reporting it now. I removed the links b/c I don't want to be accused of spreading this stuff. Thanks for the answers below.

1. I would call the police... tout de suite!

That is disgusting.

I'd start with the police. If they couldn't help, I'd start asking why.

[dem629]

2. Well, I'm in SC and that poster is apparently in VA.

[JuniperLea]

11. I just asked an ex cop who is now head of security...

Call the cops. They have all the contacts.

3. Rather than risk going to those links, let me just say this: Call the Secret Service.

They're listed at the front of your phone book.

6. Could I get in trouble for linking to the message board?

If so I will remove the links, and apologies to the DU mods. I am just shocked at those and not sure if it's reportable. Even more disgusting that other people are in that thread and only one person called the poster out.

9. No

There is only one, or possibly two, board that are not allowed here and that is not one of them, AFAIK.

4. Start here ------------>

5. I would send a link to the SS. Here are the field offices.

I don't know how the deal with web threats.

[Stephanie]

Maybe here

I agree you should do it:

7. A forum for people who love giant signatures? So obnoxious to read.

8. Do you contact the FBI over this kind of stuff? 24 hour number -

The FBI can be contacted 24 hours a day, every day. Here’s when and how:

FBI Headquarters in Washington, D.C.
Call [phone]

10. Worth grabbing screenshots in case the thread is removed n/t

[Stephanie]

12. how do you do that on a mac?

new laptop - it's like learning to walk again...

[InternalDialogue]

13. Command-shift-3

(or Apple-shift-3, same thing)

That'll save a .PNG screenshot to your desktop.

18. Can somone phrase what happened? Without details from within the links?

[tbyg52]

19. Please? I admit to curiosity. nt

20. This was the gist -

A guy on a forum basically threatened to assassinate Obama before he was inaugurated - "I'd like to put this bullet in his head....No, he will never be president. I'm not sure he is qualified to take the office, he will never make it regardless."

[peacetalksforall]

22. Thanks. I'm sorry that it was on DU.

[tbyg52]

23. I figured it was something like that. Glad it was reported. Hope they nail the scum. nt

[HPD]

24. Keep us informed

as to what the agents tell you.
