WI Attorney General Releases 100 PAGES of Documented Threats Against Lawmakers During the Budget Negotiations
More than 100 pages of public records released Thursday reveal again how high emotion, bad judgment and anti-social media combined in February to generate a nationwide investigation of threats against Gov. Scott Walker and lawmakers on both sides of his budget-repair bill.
Dozens of emails suggest Walker or legislators should be shot or hanged, or should watch their backs, look over their shoulders or resign. One man tweeted that he prayed an anvil would fall from the sky onto Walker.
FBI agents from Maine to California to Florida also got involved, the records show. A suspect in Maine was arrested after sending letters to that state’s Republican U.S. senators suggesting that Walker should be killed and that all Republican governors resign.
A Burbank, Calif., resident who sent a long email rant offering a $50,000 bounty for Walker was interviewed by federal agents who determined he was mentally challenged and not a true threat.
Police in Nebraska tracked down a man who posted to a Wisconsin man’s Facebook page that he expected the shooting to start soon and that he would be ready to inflict nonlethal shots so others could hear screams.
Only one person has been charged so far with making threats, Katherine R. Windels, 26, of Cross Plains.

Any idea of what his DU name is?
