Comedian Threatens President Trump

[echoes]

Will not post the picture here, but it shows the comedian Kathy Griffin holding a decapatated bloody head of President Trump, seen in the link here:

The obvious obscenity and outright perversion of this photo should constitute a Legal Threat against the President, as I understand the *18 USC Code 871?

What is particularly disturbing to me is the fact that President Trup sent out a "tweet" this morning saying his 11 year old son, Barron, was having a very hard time with this.

To quote the CIC, "Sick!"
