I wonder which handle this moron uses at the Daily Kos and Huffington Post?
Charles Madrid has been struggling with anger management issues for years.Real tough guy.
The 50-year-old radio technician from Pacoima has been known to lose his temper over everything from dirty dishes in the kitchen sink to the war in Iraq.
His mother says he's harmless. But after a recent outburst in which he allegedly threatened to kill President Bush, the U.S. Secret Service isn't so sure.
Madrid was arrested last week and is being held in a federal detention center in downtown Los Angeles. At a hearing set for today, a judge is expected to determine whether Madrid is eligible to be released on bail.
Before his arrest Tuesday, authorities, concerned that Madrid's threat may have been prompted by mental illness, took him to Olive View Medical Center in Sylmar for evaluation. The doctor who examined him concluded that Madrid was not mentally ill "but has a severe anger problem," according to an affidavit by Secret Service Special Agent Kelly O'Hara.
O'Hara, who interviewed Madrid at the hospital, wrote in the affidavit that Madrid admitted to threatening to kill the president earlier in the day in front of an LAPD officer.
When O'Hara asked Madrid what he would do if Bush were present right at that moment, he allegedly responded: "I'd deck his ass."
He added that Vice President Dick Cheney also "needs an ass kicking," the affidavit states.
Madrid, who has no criminal record and no history of owning firearms, shares a small dilapidated ranch-style home with his mother, Rachel Madrid-Hall, and his adult brother. The family has lived in the house for more than 40 years. Outside, a small faded American flag is stuck in the dirt of an otherwise empty potted plant. Inside, the home is strewed with clutter, much of it related to computers, one of Madrid's passions, according to his mother.Just because you're allegedly frustrated, and it seems to be this guy is angry at being such a pathetic loser, it does not give you the right to threaten the President of the United States.
In an interview this week, Madrid-Hall, 71, acknowledged that her son has a temper. But she said he's never acted on it.
"He's not a maniac," she said. "I think he was speaking out of frustration."
She said her son blamed President Bush for the war in Iraq and the bad economy, among other things. He would write letters documenting his complaints but only grew angrier when he received form letters in response, she said.He expects a personal reply? What an idiot.
Madrid-Hall said her son was talking to a former girlfriend late Monday or early Tuesday when he allegedly made the initial threat against Bush. The woman, identified in court papers as Wanda O'Hickey-Way, called 911.Let him spend the rest of his miserable life in jail.
"Committing this murder is not a murder, it's making a difference for the people," O'Hickey-Way quoted Madrid as saying. "I'm going to kill who needs to be killed."
O'Hickey-Way told the dispatcher that Madrid's statements were made in reference to the president, according to the arrest affidavit. LAPD officers arrived at the Madrid home Tuesday morning, and one of them asked Madrid, "Do you want to kill the president?"
"Yes," Madrid replied, according to the affidavit.
