jclalor 12 #2 September 15, 2010 Quote***QuoteClick me! I think admitting that he does not know what he said sounds fishy, most likely he made a threat. "Officers visited Mr Angel at his home in Silsoe, Bedfordshire, where he admitted to sending the email, but claimed that he could not recall his exact words." I have been drunk on plenty of occasions and I am pretty certain I have not sent any threats to any foriegn heads of state. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rhaig 0 #4 September 15, 2010 every good drunk story starts with "apparently..." as in "apparently... I was drunk last night and emailed a threat to the president of the united states" I agree Dave, that's a hell of a bender.-- Rob Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kelpdiver 2 #5 September 15, 2010 Quote I think admitting that he does not know what he said sounds fishy, most likely he made a threat. there's a reason we have Sent folders. It's not that hard to look it up. Drunk and stupid must be the right adjectives, though, if he called Obama a prick after watching something about 9/11 (and presumably Bush).

happythoughts 0 #6 September 15, 2010 Quote Officers visited Mr Angel at his home in Silsoe, Bedfordshire, where he admitted to sending the email, but claimed that he could not recall his exact words. If only computer email programs had a method of finding out this mystery information... hmmm.... If the email only had a "sent" box that retains such things... hmmm... Sure. To get banned from the US, you have to move from "insulting" to "threatening". Probably most of the White House email is insulting. People don't take the time to write the congratulatory "doing such a fine job" emails that often. Somehow, I believe that this is a theme in his life. We'll be reading about this guy later.

I don't think you can assume THAT much from what stories are out there regarding the e-mail. Well maybe you can, but it does make you look a little foolish.

Do you have a source that would confirm Luke Angel did that? on one side, we have a kid who 'forgot' what he said. On the other, we apparently have a secret service that has blacklisted the kid. it's not a big leap to presume a threat was made. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Belgian_Draft 0 #15 September 16, 2010 Can't remember what he wrote in the email? Sent file. Duh. Lots of people call the President names every day. Much of the time those names can't be repeated in polite company. Never heard of any of them getting banned from entering the country. Not one. Lots of people get into much worse doo-doo than this kid for threatening the President. I would bet the kid is lying through his teeth.
