US bans British teenager over abusive Obama email

[Troy]

LONDON — A British teenager has been banned from ever entering the United States after sending an offensive email to president Barack Obama's office, it was reported Tuesday.

Luke Angel, 17, sent the message to the White House while drunk after watching a programme about the 9/11 attacks and was immediately reprimanded by police in the UK and the US after the FBI intercepted the mail.

The teenager, from Silsoe in Bedfordshire, called the US leader a "prick" in an expletive-strewn message but told the Bedfordshire on Sunday newspaper that he "didn't care" about the ban.

No criminal action will be taken against the youth.

I hope that he wasn't just banned for calling him a prick, he must have said something a lot worse to get a life ban from entering the US. Pretty weak if the US banned him for life for that. If he threatened Obama then that would be a fair punishment. Also I didn't realise that the email address for the White House was widely available.

Lol I best be careful what I say here because the 'FBI' might be watching this forum. In all honesty he shouldn't be banned even if he did threaten Obama. I mean come on I bet the kid is some net warrior who is really harmless.

Well as far as threatening the president... that in itself is something dangerous and could get you in some serious trouble. Just cause nowadays... you never know what can happen. But if he's just calling him some names... then the ban is overrated... then again... America is overrated so missing out on coming to America isn't that big of a deal

I mean... like I'd straight up say I don't support Obama, I don't like what he stands for, I think he sucks as a president and as a leader. BUT I would not ever make a threat towards him.

It just makes me wonder what the FBI really do, I mean if this is a priority for them then something is seriously wrong. I understand that the FBI most likely read all emails coming to the White House but to give him a lifetime ban is pathetic and just gives America more bad publicity.

Can't make America look worse than it already does. So ... what's the harm
