Secret Service finds allegations of someone shouting "Kill Him" were pure bull. Posted: 1 year ago by 2manyusernames
The media grabbed the story and went running with it. Understandably disgusted at such behavior. The problem is after a full investigation the only one who heard the shouting was the reporter for the story.
