20-year-old Timothy Ryan is staring down a maximum of 10 years in the slammer for e-mails he sent to the FBI threatening to "assassinate" President Barack Obama. Another message said he had "rigged 40 pounds of C4" to blow up vehicles in the Mall of America."I'm not mad about him becoming president, but he's not doing what he said he was going to do," he said. "He's not doing anything for the lower class — just the middle and upper class. Medications are going up, not lowering, and jobs are being lost. His actions are going to get him in trouble." He told reporters before he surrendered that he was unemployed, but "played with computers."
According to reports, Gutierrez sent the messages eight days before Obama was inaugurated. "I’m going to assassinate the new president of the United States of America. PS you have 48 hours to stop it from happening," one of them said.
Another e-mail sent that same day added:
what are you waiting for you have 48 hours remember and one more thing that I have forgotten to mention I have rigged 40 pounds of C4, he and my favorite TNT to 7 cars outside the Mall of America good luck thank you and God bless he you know the rest time is wasting.
He told the Cortez Journal: "I'm in serious shit."
