The 36-year-old Barnett allegedly posted the threat on the website for Transparency for Oklahoma group he operates, which describes in highly specific detail how to “take down” the university with a supposedly “hypothetical” threat intended to “drive the left crazy.”

“The best way to get a message across is violence,” states the post, which was written by Barnett. “The Judicial System has failed America. So you need to have a large amount of deaths. You have to take the idiots like David Hogg and you need to find their fear factor. If I were a terrorist and I were going to actually harm anyone at The University of Tulsa, there are a few things I’d do.”

The post then lists 22 steps that could be taken to undertake a mass shooting on Tulsa college football fans, sexually assaulting several individuals and framing some of the university’s professors for murder and possession of child pornography.

The former GOP candidate was arrested Wednesday after police said he shot a process server who was delivering legal papers to his home.

The process server was hospitalized but is expected to recover, and Barnett was charged shooting with intent to kill and later released on bond.

Barnett disputed the police account of the shooting, saying the process server drew a weapon and tried to break into his home.

1. Charged with shooting with intent to kill, later released on bond

Fair's fair, he didn't kill his target and clearly deserves another chance to carry out his fantasy.

"The Judicial System has failed America." Translation: I can't get my way legally, so I'm going to shoot people until everyone does that I want.

"You have to take the idiots like David Hogg and you need to find their fear factor." Uh, Chris? David Hogg survived the mass shooting of 19 of his high school classmates. I'd surmise that he doesn't scare easily. You on the other hand? You sound like you're very, very scared.

TULSA, Okla. – A Tulsa man who ran unsuccessfully for the Republican gubernatorial nomination in Oklahoma is jailed after being arrested twice in a 24-hour period.

Tulsa County jail records show 36-year-old Christopher Barnett is being held without bond on complaints of shooting with intent to kill and threatening an act of violence.

Police say Barnett was first arrested after shooting at a process server Wednesday, then after his release was arrested again Thursday. It was not immediately clear if the arrests are related.

Barnett told TV station KTUL he shot at the process server after the man pulled a gun.
