President Obama assassination poll on facebook

This article focuses on the U. S. Secret Service investigating a facebook poll about President Obama's assassination. This is a perfect example someone making a blatantly bad decision. The fact that whoever created this poll thought that there would be no negative consequences shows an amazing amount of ignorance. In the article there are many people quoted saying that the person deserves to be prosecuted. While this technically violates our first amendment right to freedom of speech considering the time this country is going through with the employment of the patriot act a person cannot afford to be this ignorant and make such a foolish decision. I think to some extent the person should suffer consequences for his actions but, we also can't forget about completely breaching the freedoms of an American citizen.
