Another Angry White Party (GOP) Customer: 'I want to go down in history as the guy who killed Obama' - white man busted
/A Colorado nursing student was arrested yesterday after telling his therapist of his desire to shoot children, kill people on Halloween and assassinate President Obama, court records show.
Mitchell Kenneth Kusick, 20, of Westminster, was being held on suspicion of a federal charge of threats against a president.
He identified himself as a student at Colorado Mesa University in western Colorado, investigators said.
The documents said that he claimed to have owned a .22 caliber rifle and an assault rifle, but his parents made him get rid of the weapons.
He told his therapist on October 29 about his plan and allegedly said he wanted to go down in history as the 'guy who killed Obama.'
His comments came just days before the president held a campaign rally in Boulder.
Kusick also said he was obsessed with the deadly shootings at Columbine High School and Virginia Tech, as well as the Dark Knight Rises theater massacre earlier this year, according to court records.
Among Kusick’s interests on his Facebook page are 'American conspiracies,' the Call of Duty video games and the film Paul Blart: Mall Cop.
The same document quoted Kusick of saying: 'Some people just want to watch the world burn down, and I’m one of them.'
The therapist notified police, and Kusick was placed on a mental health hold at a hospital.
A detention hearing is scheduled Friday.
