Poor little terrorist...

A Purdue University student was charged with making terroristic threats to kill the President, his cabinet, and all Republicans...

From here:

In the various messages posted, Buddhi urged the Web site's readers to bomb the United States and for them to rape American and British women and mutilate them, according to court documents. Other messages called for the killing of all Republicans. ...
...But his apologist attorney states:
...Since this is a very busy time for college students, being immersed in studying for their upcoming finals, Buddhi's attorney John Martin said he hopes his client will be released from jail Wednesday following his detention hearing so he can return to studying.
and...
..."What was allegedly said certainly is derogatory and may be inflammatory," Martin said. "But there's no real serious threat more than it was chat on the Web."
...Yeah... a foreign national threatened to kill the President of the United States (while on U.S. soil) and tried to incite folks to rape and mutilate American and British women, but geeze--it's finals week!

Give the poor guy a break.
