"Bagdasarian used the computer to post threatening messages on a Yahoo Finance message board, including one that read, "He will have a 50 cal in the head soon," and 20 minutes later posted a message that read "Shoot the n----- ," said Assistant U.S. Attorney William Cole.


SAN DIEGO - A La Mesa man who posted racially charged comments on Yahoo about killing Barack Obama during last year's presidential campaign was sentenced Monday to time served and ordered to spend 60 days in a halfway house.

Walter Bagdasarian, who was convicted July 28 of making threats against a major candidate for president, was also ordered to pay a $500 fine.

During a search of the defendant's home, agents found six weapons, including a .50-caliber rifle, Cole said."

"Others who were reading Bagdasarian's writings told him that law enforcement was monitoring the Web site, and one reader even told him that he was going to report him, the judge said."


Not nearly as long as it should have been nor did it cost him as much as it should have.
