New Jersey Obama-Threatener Has Odd Conception of Chitchat

The Newark Airport security guard arrested for making threats against the life of President Obama on Tuesday, John Brek, was in line at a coffee cart when he casually told a fellow employee that "he had made cuts in the fence that he could use to shoot the president." Apparently, people were alarmed by that. His father claims his son isn't a violent person, a statement contradicted by others who say Brek had in the past talked about "cutting up [Obama's] body and taking the body parts to Pennsylvania to feed to animals."
