Georgian who threatened to kill Nancy Pelosi pleads guilty in Jan. 6 charges

[TexasTowelie]

A Georgia man with a history of political extremism and threatening behavior pleaded guilty Friday to sending text messages threatening to kill House Speaker Nancy Pelosi in the wake of the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol.

Cleveland Grover Meredith is the first of 15 Georgians charged in the riot to plead guilty. The 53-year-old Lovett School graduate and former owner of an Acworth car wash faces between six months and two years in prison and up to $75,000 in fines. How long he spends behind bars depends on whether U.S. District Court Judge Amy Berman Jackson believes Meredith intended to make good on his threats.

Sentencing is set for Dec. 14.

Meredith was arrested in his Washington, D.C., hotel room on Jan. 7 after a relative called the FBI concerned about a series of violent text messages from him.

“Thinking about heading over to Pelosi (expletive) speech and putting a bullet in her noggin on Live TV,” one text read.

1. This guy used to live just up the street from me

He was a regular PIA. I think I have posted about him before. He loved to make loud noises. He drove a vintage BMW with a loud muffler. He also had a motorcycle he would drive by on reeving the motor. He also flew remote controlled airplanes. He was very good at that. Unfortunately one was a jet. It looked and sounded like one. He would buzz the neighbors dogs with it. After a lot of complaints his landlord evicted him and he moved on to the next town north of us.

I am glad he pleaded guilty and hope they give him the maimum sentence and then order some type of mental health treatment.

2. Two years and a fine seems like no where near enough

Domestic terrorists need to be sent to Gitmo and never heard from again.

3. If he would have said "Allahu Akbar" We would never hear from him again

4. Six months for threatening to murder second in line to presidency?

A sitting speaker of the house, an elected MOC?

Unbelievable.
