NY man sentenced for political Facebook threats

WHITE PLAINS, N.Y. (AP) — A man who admitted making death threats on Facebook against the top Democrats in Congress and other high-ranking officeholders was sentenced Wednesday to 15 months in prison at a court session that focused on his alcoholism.

Lawrence Mulqueen, 50, told the federal judge the postings would not have appeared "if I'd had the opportunity to review them after sobering up."

Mulqueen admitted in May that he had threatened the lives of Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, Gov. Andrew Cuomo, New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, U.S. Sen. Charles Schumer, U.S. Rep. Nita Lowey and members of the Congressional Black Caucus.

"I cannot wait to start killing the scum," he wrote under a pseudonym on Facebook. The federal complaint also attributed various racist and obscene rants to Mulqueen.
