Man who tweeted $500 offer to kill ICE agent is acquitted

"But in this case the defendant posted a tweet that, on its face, offered $500 to anyone who killed a federal agent," Lelling said."In 2019, over 100 law enforcement officers died in the line of duty. The public needs to know that, regardless of today's verdict, we will never hesitate to prosecute apparent threats against law enforcement officers.

According to the indictment, Ziobrowski had previously tweeted his desire to"slit" the late Sen. John McCain's throat. He began to post tweets in February 2018 promoting violence against law enforcement, prosecutors said.that one of his February 2018 tweets read:"Guns should only be legal for shooting the police like the second amendment intended."

Demissie had argued that his client’s comments were constitutionally protected political speech that had been"blown out of proportion" by prosecutors.Twitter suspended Ziobrowski's account in July 2018 at the request of law enforcement.

NBCLatino WTH

Hey.... so let’s talk about obama...

Probably a 'love trumps hate' soy boy.

$690,000,000,000,000.1 for Brandon Ziobrowski.

Gets...is not the same as shooting stabbing killing...marry...sing to...

Further proof that juries are usually composed of people too dumb to avoid jury duty. It's really hard to argue the Tweet was in jest given his history of violent ones, and 1A does not protect you from consequences. Jury should have convicted, but light sentence and anger mgmt

Twitter suspended his account at the request of law enforcement? They had to ask? I thought it took much less than that

The government terrorists/police and ICE is one of the biggest threat to minorities in this country. If they are not controlled it will get dirty and nasty around here.

Was he rich ?

AWESOME news.

I wonder what it the target had been instead an illegal alien?

So, when this guy actually does kill a cop or anyone else (as he clearly doesn’t limit his threats to police) no one should be surprised or say there was no warning.

$500 to whoever “gets” him.

Shameful

King

Im sure he paid out the butt to defend his right to say dumb crap on the internet.

Lol. So this guy gets off free but a kid who threatens violence at a school is locked up. Twisted world.

If then candidate Trump can say on national TV he could shoot some one on 5th Ave and not lose any votes - this decision to acquit is the correct one.

Well that's an interesting precedent to set.

MADE IN JEST? As a Democrat...I feel this man should have done at least a year What if someone took him up on it? Threats must be delt with

Bummer. He should be in prison

Hope his legal bills were astronomical.

RIGHT ON!!!

Wow

there you go, now you can put a hit, on anyone and not worry about it.

How in the world does he get off free? Oh, the jury was in Boston, all makes sense now. Apparently, you can now just tweet out about willing to pay someone to commit murder.

I bet he was not even suspended by Twitter. I got a week for saying that most mass shooters are of a race that is not to be mentioned.

Dare we hope someone who is either hateful or stupid enough to do what he did has learned a lesson now? Also hope he is paying legal fees for years for that stunt.

NBCLatino Yep! And they want to impeach Trump for trying to ensure that millions in aid to a corrupt government will not be stolen! With each passing day, the looney left’s, Fake News’ and Never Trumpers’ coordinated effort to bring down Trump is failing badly! They are re-electing Trump!

So anyone in jail for wanting to hire someone to kill a spouse or girl/boy friend should be let go then .

An agent is a rep so those drug cartels then could be an ice agent too.

As an immigration supporter, I need to say... don't do dumb crap like this

A Federal Jury who hates ICE Agents ! We are talking about Boston one of the Bolshevik Communist Cities in their Virtual Reality of a Soviet Amerika.

Our justice system only works in a Christian environment. Liberals have no use for law & order. It is time to end jury trials. Juries often base decisions on emotion & prejudice, not facts.

Sickening. I hope those tweets and comments catch up with him on the street.

It’s friggin Massachusetts!! You expected something different?

😆 every single comment that disagrees with this verdict is buried in “other replies”

Congress Allocates $500 Million For Development Of Funkier Bass LinesWASHINGTON—Stating that the measure was essential for holding down the beat and getting people outta their seat, Congress reportedly allocated $500 million Monday for the development of funkier bass lines. “This funding will go a long way toward improving today’s bass lines, which have steadily grown less funky and often fail to truly get down, and will help establish a set of new booty-shaking grooves,” said Rep. Dave Trott (R-MI), who co-sponsored the bill with Rep. Cedric Richmond (D-LA), adding that Congress has already begun working with numerous experts, including Bootsy Collins, Victor Wooten, and Flea, to produce syncopated runs and fat, gooey tones on a variety of low-end riffs intended to tear the roof off the sucka. “By innovating new rapid-fire slap and pop techniques, as well as investing heavily in a state-of-the-art envelope filter, we hope to significantly increase the development of thumping old-school bass solos, ensuring that Americans will bust loose on the dance floor for years to come.” The bill comes on the heels of Congress’ recent $1 billion allocation to fund the establishment of a super-tight horn section. I’m glad. This is important. Bootsy_Collins is the man to ask! The Bootsy act, get your behind behind it.
