Another day, another insanely dramatic death threat against the president of the USA.
James Comey, the former director of the FBI, was recently indicted for his infamous seashell message about murdering the president.
And this looks like some sort of a copycat.
Here's CNN:
The numbers "8647" — a phrase generally used to signal opposition to President Donald Trump — appeared etched into the grass on the National Mall on Thursday, days before massive crowds are expected in the area for a UFC match on Trump's birthday on Sunday.
Live webcam images from the top of the Washington Monument show the numbers appearing as dead grass along a large portion of the Mall, east of the World War II Memorial. It's not clear when the markings first appeared. The numbers were not visible in photos from Getty Images of the National Mall taken on June 5.
The Secret Service deferred comment to the US Park Police, who the agency said was handling the investigation into the markings. A spokesperson for the Department of Interior, which manages the National Mall, described the markings as "deranged vandalism" which "will not be tolerated" in a statement.
Here's a live screen-grab from Earthcam where the 8 is very visible:
'Any threat against the President is taken very seriously by the Department, and our U.S. Park Police will investigate this incident and hold those responsible accountable,' the spokesperson said.
There are cameras all over the National Mall.
