'Prophet' is convicted for 'burning Bush' comment

9/7/2002


SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) - A man who calls himself a prophet was convicted of threatening the president by talking of a "burning Bush" hours before the chief executive arrived in the city for a visit.
A federal jury took just over an hour Thursday to find Richard Humphreys guilty of threatening to kill or harm the president.

Humphreys, of Portland, Ore., argued his comment was both a joke and a prophecy and that the First Amendment protected his right to speak it.

"It wasn't a joke. It wasn't funny. Simply put, it was a threat," prosecutor Michael Ridgeway said.

In a bar early on March 8, the day Bush was to arrive, a bartender overheard Humphreys talking about a "burning Bush" and the possibility of someone pouring a flammable liquid on the president and lighting it.

Aware of the president's impending visit, the bartender called police. Humphreys was taken into custody at a Sioux Falls motel before the president arrived.

Humphreys faces a maximum sentence of five years in prison and a $250,000 fine.
