Detroit man accused of threatening to kill Whitmer, Nessel to avoid jail in plea deal

[TexasTowelie]

A 34-year-old Detroit man who prosecutors say “made credible threat to kill” Gov. Gretchen Whitmer and Attorney General Dana Nessel has pleaded guilty but mentally ill in a deal that would keep him out of jail.

Robert Sinclair Tesh was charged in April with false report of a threat of terrorism, a felony that carries up to 20 years in prison.

In exchange for his guilty plea, the Wayne County Prosecutor’s Office agreed to a sentence of five years of probation, as long as he continues to receive mental health treatment, doesn't possess firearms, and abstains from alcohol and drugs.

Tesh has been out of jail on bond with a GPS tether since April 29 and has caused no problems, according to prosecutors.

2. Jesus another one who belongs behind bars is walking.

If he has mental health issues, send him to St Elizabeth’s with John Hinkley.

4. I usually reserve my anger for the stain that was 1/6

But these nuts got the ball rolling. I am getting too old for this shit. I have to find a hobby so I can retire.

7. Lots of us here have a huge stake in the future.

Me? I am 68. I am focused on what my kids and their generations are going to deal with.

I have to tell you, if DeSantis is the American future, I'm ready to exit this play, stage left. He's a psycho. Just like Trump. Want worse than Trump? Elect DeSantis. America! He's proven he doesn't give a fuck about the citizen's of Florida. But he will be the Trump-blessed anointee cuz this is where the GOP is going.....

5. Did I misquote you?

I had this copied into your quote - "Peacock one day, feather duster the next........."

Did I not quote you correctly? Because I totally love the point.

6. Oh, no, you hit the nail on the head.

My frustration is not with you. I often enjoy what you write. I am just getting frustrated with people turning a blind eye to what happened and the lack of consequence for the actions. With out consequence it will happen again, and I am getting too old to put up with this BS.

The comment was not directed to you, but the insurrectionists, oathbreakers, garbage who come up with their own views of the Constitution and are putting our democracy in peril.
