WI teacher charged with sending death threats to Republican lawmakers

Do you remember that really ugly death threat that was emailed to some Wisconsin Republican lawmakers three weeks ago? It went something like this:

Please put your things in order because you will be killed and your familes will also be killed due to your actions in the last 8 weeks. Please explain to them that this is because if we get rid of you and your families then it will save the rights of 300,000 people and also be able to close the deficit that you have created. I hope you have a good time in hell. Read below for more information on possible scenarios in which you will die.

Well the author of the email has been charged.

JS Online: Madison - A 26-year-old woman was charged Thursday with two felony counts and two misdemeanor counts for allegedly making email threats against Wisconsin lawmakers during the height of the battle over Gov. Scott Walker's budget-repair bill.

Katherine R. Windels of Cross Plains was named in a criminal complaint filed in Dane County Criminal Court.

According to the criminal complaint, Windels allegedly sent an email threat to State Sen. Robert Cowles (R-Green Bay) March 9. Later that evening, she allegedly sent another email to 15 Republican legislators, including Senate Majority Leader Scott Fitzgerald (R-Juneau). [...]

According to the criminal complaint, Windels told investigators “I sent out emails that I was disgusted and very upset by what they were doing.”

Asked if she intended to follow through on any of her threats, Windels told the investigators "No," according to the complaint.
Windels was charged with two felony counts "bomb scare" and two misdemeanor counts of "computer message-threatening injury/bodily harm." If convicted, each felony count carries a maximum penalty of three years and six months in prison and a $10,000 fine, and each misdemeanor count carries a maximum penalty of 90 days in prison and a $1,000 fine.

The story doesn't end here. What the Journal Sentinel leaves out of their story is that Ms, Windels is a teacher. Not just a plain old teacher but an early childhood development teacher. The Underground Conservative has all the details here.

In a sane world Ms. Windels would be terminated immediately. No one who can spew that kind of hate and show such amazing stupidity should ever be allowed within 2 feet of a young and impressionable mind. One can only imagine what might happen if Ms. Windels became "disgusted and very upset" by an unruly pre-schooler.

Lefty thugs threaten blogger Ann Althouse

Blogger Ann Althouse has been first hand blogging about the protest in Wisconsin. She has even served up some viral video on the events and tons of pictures. Apparently some of the pro union supporters preferred she didn't and have taken to making some ugly threats. The threats have been leveled to both Althouse and her husband Meade.

We will take it from the internet right to [Althouse's address removed]. Do you have any idea where you live? Let us spell it out for you.We understand that you like to eat on the square. You like the Baked Potato at the Old Fashioned, do you? There were five of us in there last Tuesday. You like to eat at Fresco? We’re in the Overture eating, serving, cooking, playing, and performing. At least twenty of us have worked for Food Fight. You like to fucking drink at FAIR TRADE do you? At FAIR TRADE? You are citizen-BANNED from Fair Trade. We will Walker you straight out of the place whenever you show up. We are at every coffee shop on State,open to close, all the time. We will hang up wanted posters of you everywhere you like to go. We will picket on public property as close to your house as we can every day.We will harrass(sic) the ever loving shit out of you all the time. Campus is OCCUPIED. State street is OCCUPIED. The Square is OCCUPIED. Vilas, Schenk’s Corners, Atwood, Willy Street – Occupied, Occupied, Occupied, Occupied. Did you really think it was all about the Capitol? Fuck the Capitol, we are the CITY.

I don't call this four page screed a threat, I call this is terrorism. By publishing her address and detailing her activities, this nut case isn't trying to warn Althouse, he is trying to terrorizer her.

The Underground Conservative has identified the author as Jim Shankman. The Other McCain has more info on Shankman.

As I have said a few times in the comments section, when the left ask for civility, just give them the finger and go on about your business.

Welcome to the New Civility: Death threats for Republicans in WI

So much for all the calm this morning.  Charlie Sykes from 620 WTMJ has posted a copy of a blistering death threat the Wisconsin Republican senators received this morning.  This isn't your kind of "I hope you die" stuff the left likes, but rather one that doesn't mince any words.

620 WTMJ: Since the MSM appears intent on downplaying the growing intimidation and escalating threats of violence around the union power issue, I am reprinting verbatim an email that was sent to Republican senators. The email was signed, but I have deleted the name pending what I hope will be a thorough police investigation.

What an evil shrew! Sheila Jackson Lee verbally abuses staff

If you thought Sheila Jackson Lee's rudeness stopped at her poor cellphone etiquette, you would be sorely mistaken. It turns out that she is way ruder to her staffers. The Daily Caller interviewed quite a few of her old staffers and some of their stories will make your hair curl.

The Daily Caller: A lot of politicians give nicknames to their aides. George W. Bush famously referred to his attorney general, Alberto Gonzalez, as “Fredo.” Mitch Daniels, then head of the Office of Management and Budget, was known as “The Blade.” Barack Obama reportedly called Larry Summers, his chief economic advisor, “Dr. Kevorkian.”

Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee of Texas also hands out nicknames to the people who work for her. The Houston Democrat addressed one of her employees as “you stupid motherfucker.” And not just once, but “constantly,” recalls the staffer, “like, all the time.”

If you think that is bad, just read the whole story.  Sheila Jackson Lee is particularly abusive to her black staffers.

Given Jackson Lee’s apparent touchiness on racial questions, there’s a certain irony in the fact that aides claim she is far harsher to the African Americans who work for her. “’You stupid mother-effer’ was like a constant,” says one. “Like, all the time. But the interesting thing is she would really project that behavior more towards her African American staffers. She would have other ethnic groups in the office, like interns or whatnot. But it was really her African American staffers who she felt comfortable enough to really curse out…. This is something we always talked about. We chalked it up to her just feeling more comfortable acting out her aggression toward a certain group of people versus others.”

“She is very strange in who she insults and how. For some reason, it seemed like she was racist against African Americans,” another said.

Why she would come down harder on black staff was one of many mysteries that provoked endless speculation from those subject to her abuse.

Sheila Jackson Lee's abuse is no mystery.  In my days I have worked with people like Jackson Lee.  They are miserable SOBs because they have an inferiority complex.  They know damn well that they are not really qualified for the position they hold, so they crap on everyone beneath them to make themselves feel superior.  

Thus it should be no wonder that she is particularly brutal to her own kind, because this behavior is exactly what racists do.  Racists put down other races in a failed attempt to make themselves feel superior.  No doubt Sheila Jackson Lee knows some of the blacks on her staff are probably more qualified to do her job than she is, so she craps on them endlessly.

Personally, job or no job, I would never tolerate a boss abusing me for one hot second. If any boss of mine every called me a stupid MF, I would nuke them right where they stood with a verbal tongue lashing they would never forget. 

Make sure to read the whole story, it is a real eye opener. You will not believe how we waste our tax dollars on a lunatic like this.

Video: Wisconsin GOP Senator Glenn Grothman chased and cornered by union mob

The video pretty much speaks for itself, so I will only add a few quick observations:

1. I cannot help but to compare and contrast the TEA Party protest from last year to these union protest.  Especially the day the Democrats forced through ObamaCare.  Remember how Nancy and her gang strolled through the streets?  Sure people shouted, but no one mobbed them.
2. The other thing that immediately catches my eye is the hive mentality. One person shouts "shame" and they all shout "shame".  One person shouts "peace" and they all shout "peace".  I would hate to see what would happen if someone said "kill him"!
3. Finally, this crowd doesn't strike me as teachers or other public service employees.  They don't even seem like union workers.  They mostly look like the young slackers you find at every leftwing protest. I would love to know just how many real Wisconsinites are at these protest.

The photographer who capture this video has some amazing still shots from the protest, you can find them here.

Always The Gentleman: WI State Rep. Gordon Hintz to female Republican "You are f'n dead"!

It looks like the Wisconsin Assembly has its very own Charlie Sheen. State Rep. Gordon Hintz, the Democrat bad boy of Wisconsin, earned his stripes by getting arrested in connection to a prostitution sting and then grandstanding on the Assembly floor.

In true Charlie Sheen fashion, Hintz shows he can be abusive to women too.

620 WTMJ: Last Friday.... after the Assembly voted to engross the Budget Repair Bill, Hintz turned to a female colleague, Rep. Michelle Litjens and said: "You are F***king dead!"

Hintz has since apologizes to Litjens:

An Oshkosh Assemblyman apologized to a colleague Monday for comments he made on the floor of the Assembly last week immediately following a vote on a contentious budget repair bill.

Rep. Gordon Hintz, D Oshkosh, apologized to Rep. Michelle Litjens, R-Winneconne, for shouting out an obscenity that included the words “you’re dead” that Litjens and other witnesses heard in the chaotic scene after Republicans approved the bill.

Litjens said she accepted the apology, but has asked the Assembly leadership to discipline Hintz.

Litjens is a good sport for only asking for discipline. She really should seek a restraining order because a loose cannon like Hintz has shown he has no self control.


How do crackpots like this guy get elected?

Another day, another example of the left's idea of "civility"

We all know the left and their union thugs can a pain in the ass, but some of those thugs literally want to be.

Michelle Malkin: At AFSCME’s “solidarity” rally in Providence, Rhode Island on Tuesday, a cameraman was accosted by a fuming pro-union protester. The cameraman had his back to the goon, who appears to accost him unprovoked. The goon screams:

“I’ll f**k you in the ass, you faggot!”

His shouting escalates and other union supporters try to intervene as he threatened the cameraman, but he continues to foam at the mouth. 

The “solidarity” mob finally starts chanting “Hey, hey, ho, ho, union-busting’s got to go” to drown out the goon’s snit fit. He yells that he will “follow you out of here.”

The eruption starts at 7:32 in this video.

Soooo, classy!

When the TEA Parties erupted, there was no limit to how far the media would go to prove their storyline that TEA Parties were violent.  The lefty talking heads were soaking their Huggies over the violent images, the strong language and the racism.  However, with the union protest, the media is in full see no evil mode.

Thank God, the mainstream media is no longer the only game in town.  Today average Joes and Janes can tell the stories the media won't.

So much for "civility"

Just last month the left was wringing their hands and wetting the bed over the need for civility in our political discourse.  My, my, my what a difference a month makes.  Today we have a lefty union guy swinging at a Tea Party girl.

Lefty protesters harassing black conservatives.

More lefty protesters calling white conservatives "Bad Jew".

Even Democrat politicians are getting into the act, saying "you need to get a little bloody"

So what does all this mean?  Not just the obvious that the left is populated by hypocrites of the first order, but also the left's call for civility is really just a big old "shut up" in disguise.  So the next time the left gets their panties in a bunch over "civility", we should all smile knowingly and then collectively give them the finger!

H/T: The Right Scoop

Video: Progressive racists call for Clarence Thomas' lynching

Big Government: I recently took a two-day trip down to Palm Springs to attend an event called “Uncloaking the Kochs”hosted by Common Cause. Accompanied by my dear friend, former assembly candidate Alvaro Day, I traveled as an independent investigative journalist, and not in any official capacity on behalf of Big Government or Breitbart.com [...]

Among Common Cause’s, well, common causes, are campaign finance reform, net neutrality, outlawing the filibuster, promoting cap and trade, and in this particular case, herding a mass of protesters outside a nearby hotel to yell at Charles and David Koch for being conservative and rich.

We were then ushered outside to the parking lot across from the hotel in which the Koch brothers were holding a meeting, whereupon we were encouraged to yell at the building, decrying not only the Kochs, but Justices Clarence Thomas and Antonin Scalia for their Citizens United ruling. Oh, and Fox News while we were at it.

We were joined by at least half a dozen busloads of public sector union members and common demonstrators from AFFCE, The Ruckus Society, 350, Greenpeace, Code Pink, and the Progressive Democrats of America, among others, without whose valuable contributions to the yelling, the rally would’ve been just a lousy bust. Video camera in hand, I purposely engaged them to get beyond their programmed talking points, only to find some rather colorful agenda items – particularly for Justice Thomas.[MORE]

Last month when the left collectively wet the bed calling for "civility", the first thing that came to my mind was to give these hypocrites the finger!  It never ceases to amaze me how the left blathers endlessly about "hate" from the right all the while saying some of the most hateful things.  Do they even hear themselves?


Now if these were Tea Partiers talking about Obama, there would be no end to the left calling for the leaders to denounce the attendees and pulling their hair out about racism.  However, since the black in question is a conservative, these "progressives" let their primal racism fly.  The only reason why these white progressives feel comfortable expressing their racism is because they know black liberals will never hold them to the same standards set for conservatives.
