Woman faces charges for alleged threats to kill Wisconsin lawmakers

[The Northerner]

(CNN) -- A Wisconsin woman, apparently enraged over the new state law that limits collective bargaining for government workers, is being accused of sending e-mails to 16 Republican state senators threatening to kill them.

Katherine Windels, 26, faces four counts of using a computer to threaten, injure, or harm and creating a bomb scare, authorities said.

In a criminal complaint released by the Dane County, a Wisconsin District Attorney's Office alleges that the woman from Cross Plains, Wisconsin, admitted to the threats. She said she sent the e-mails because she was angry at lawmakers who voted to limit collective bargaining for about 300,000 state workers.

Windels, according to the complaint, used two separate e-mail accounts to send e-mails to the Republican state senators including this one to Sen. Robert Cowles on March 9.

1. You know what I find most interesting?

I find it most interesting that a bunch of men, and men in skirts, think they can continue to attack those things labeled "feminine" and that women will all stand down and do nothing.

Just as the Arab world has said ENOUGH! at some point in time, women, just might, say ENOUGH!

If, what limbaugh had said were true about feminists, he'd be dead. If what every 'religious' leader of the snake oil variety said was true about feminists, they too, would be dead.

At some point in time, those hairy, scary feminists, are going to take them up on their offer. And a whole lotta 'men' and their apologists in skirts are gonna be SHOCKED, SHOCKED, I tell ya, because the "feminists" picked up the gauntlet.

3. What she 'wrote' sounds more like she's a plant for the other side:

Seriously, this reads like what a ridiculous Republican would think someone might write:

"We feel that you and your republican dictators have to die...I as well as many others know where you and your family live ... We have all planned to assault you by arriving at your house and putting a nice little bullet in your head. ... We feel it's worth our lives because we would be saving the lives of 300,000 people. Please make your peace with God as soon as possible and say goodbye to your loved ones," the e-mail said.

Windels also wrote to Cowles that there were several bombs placed in various locations, including his house, his car, and the state capitol, according to the complaint.

"I don't want to tell you all of them because that's just no fun," the e-mail said.

Wonder how much they paid her.

4. What do you bet that Wendels is somehow working for the Kochs or Walker? And what...

...do you bet that that fact will be uncovered too late to undo the damage done?

5. Did she throw the computer at them? Now that would be dangerous

But words? Whatever happened to 'sticks and stones'?
