Elton John may not be the president of the United States, but that doesn't mean you can just go around threatening his life willy-nilly.
A Georgia man who's planning a gubernatorial run was arrested Wednesday for posting a video on YouTube called "Why Elton John Must Die," showing him protesting outside John's luxurious Peachtree Road condo, holding a sign expressing that very sentiment and railing against a recent controversial interview the Grammy winner gave, in which he called Jesus a "super-intelligent gay man."
Neal Horsley, a prominent anti-abortion activist in the area, was still jailed in Atlanta as of Thursday afternoon in lieu of $40,000 bail, on charges of making terroristic threats, criminal defamation and using the Internet to disseminate threats.
Way to behave for a so-called pro-lifer.
Once Horsley is released from Fulton County Jail, he must remain at his son's home in nearby Gainesville. Nathanael Horsley is also acting as his father's attorney, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
John's publicist has offered no comment.

Guess this guy has no interest in seeing Elton's The Red Piano, or otherwise partying in Las Vegas, like these celebs.
