Wednesday 17 October 2012
A 33-year-old man who sent a threatening email to the Christian Democratic party’s website, directed at finance minister Jan Kees de Jager, has been give 40 hours community service and a two-week suspended jail term.
Hilbert Jan B, from Diever in Drenthe, wrote in the email: ‘I have a bullet for nutcase De Jager, the dirty homo has had it.’
The court said B would normally have been give a fine because he has no previous convictions. However, the more severe sentence is a signal that this is unacceptable, the court said.
B told the court he disagreed with De Jager’s position on the Greek debt.

One can tell many things in rage. Special if he had conflict. It is sad when 'scared' became hunter and end where the threatener should be. It is funny when the threatener get paid for all from scared or followers of him.
