A Texas man convicted of threatening Georgia election officials online after the 2020 election was sentenced to two years in prison Wednesday.

Chad Christopher Stark, who pleaded guilty to one count of a sending a threat using a telecommunications device in August, also was sentenced to one year of probation. The officials he targeted were not named in court documents.

“As I see it, our country was on fire, and what Mr. Stark did was add fuel to the fire,” district Judge J.P. Boulee said in an Atlanta courtroom on Wednesday.

    Dude openly called for “patriots” to murder a list of Georgia politicians on Jan 5th, including the governor and secretary of state. He openly wanted people to kill them and their families, and opened his craigslist offer/screed with “Georgia Patriots it’s time to kill [Official A] the Chinese agent - $10,000.”

    Heres the DOJ press release which had this full traitor’s call to murder:

    Georgia Patriots it’s time for us to take back our state from these Lawless treasonous traitors. It’s time to invoke our Second Amendment right it’s time to put a bullet in the treasonous Chinese [Official A]. Then we work our way down to [Official B] the local and federal corrupt judges. It’s our duty as American Patriots to put an end to the lives of these traitors and take back our country by force we can no longer wait on the corrupt law enforcement in the corrupt courts. If we want our country back we have to exterminate these people. One good loyal Patriot deer hunter in camo and a rifle can send a very clear message to these corrupt governors… milita up Georgia it’s time to spill blood….

    we need to pay a visit to [Official C] and her family as well and put a bullet her behind the ears. Let’s be very clear to our local law enforcement who have stood down and watch BLM antifa destroy our country and kill our citizens yet you’ll step up to stop Patriot supporters you’ll enforce face mask and you’ll close American businesses??? Remember one thing local law enforcement the key word being local…… we will find you oathbreakers and we’re going to pay your family to visit your mom your dad your brothers and sisters your children your wife… we’re going to make examples of traitors to our country… death to you and all you communist friends.”

    I was going to say he should’ve gotten a longer sentence, but on second thought, two years behind bars plus a year of probation seems reasonable. I’m glad this was taken seriously.

      Although it might be deemed cruel and unusual, I think at a minimum he should’ve been banned from social media/social solicitation sites for a minimum of five years.
