A US federal court judge sentenced a Florida man to three years in prison on Friday for threatening to kill US President Barack Obama in an e-mail that said "The blood of Obama will run down the streets."
Nathan Wine, 21, admitted to the judge in Tampa, Florida, in August that he sent the threatening e-mail to the US Army Recruiting Command on November 5, 2008, the day after Obama won the presidential election.
Wine, who had faced up to five years in prison, acknowledged in his guilty plea that he had meant the e-mail as a death threat, although he did not reveal a motive.
In his poorly spelled e-mail message, Wine said he would "not mind going behind bars for being a trigger man on this tyrent."
"I will not rest until this tyrant of america is gunned down," he said. "The blood of Obama will run down the streets of DC."
Wine was indicted in the federal case in January after surrendering to police on a local warrant charging him with stealing a gun.
