Latest WI Protesters are violent story going around
Edited on Sat Mar-05-11 12:08 AM by Skip_In_Boulder
O.K. The Freepers have come up with their newest proof positive story that Liberals are violent that I really don't understand. Here's the story.

Far Left protester Patrick J. Knauf, 43, of Eau Claire was arrested on Wednesday for the violation of making a bomb scare under state statute 947.015.

He was released on a $3,000 signature bond.

On Wednesday a bomb threat was made at an aviation business in Eau Claire just hours after Governor Scott Walker spoke there. Police brought in a man who was protesting this week against the Republican governor. The Pierce County Herald reported:

An investigation continues into a bomb threat made this week at an aviation business in Eau Claire, just hours after Governor Scott Walker held a news conference there.

Authorities said a 43-year-old Eau Claire man allegedly called in a threat to Heartland Aviation on Wednesday evening. The facility is next to the Chippewa Valley Regional Airport in Eau Claire. The man is free on a signature bond. No charges have been filed yet, but the man is due back in Chippewa County Circuit Court on April 19th.

Investigators said the man took part in public demonstrations at the airport on Monday and Wednesday. His home was searched yesterday, and police are checking phone records and interviewing people. Eau Claire Police have asked for tips with more information.

Now maybe it's just me because well I guess it's because I have never thought about making a bomb threat but when I read this line:

On Wednesday a bomb threat was made at an aviation business in Eau Claire just hours after Governor Scott Walker spoke there.

It would seem to me that if one really wanted to make a threat shouldn't this be called in before the politician arrived?

And then there is this:

He was released on a $3,000 signature bond.

Seems like a pretty small bond for making a bomb threat.

Of course I can only find two other references to this supposed incident so I can't believe there is too much substance to it.

But at any rate here is the post. http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2683820/posts

On Edit:

LOL, Even one of the Freeptards gets how dumb this story is.

To: TenthAmendmentChampion

He called in a bomb threat ~after~ the event with the Governor was over?

I don’t think this guy is totally clear on the concept...

1. Wouldn't it be more of a threat if he called it in ahead of the governor?
And why didn't he come down to Madison and plant it in the Capitol on the day of Walkers speech with all those people in the building if he were really serious about doing some damage?

2. I thought liberals were supposed to be wimps?
Now they are violent?

Make up your minds, freepers.
