WI teacher charged with email threats against Walker

From: American Thinker

An early childhood teacher has been charged with making threats over the internet toward Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker and other GOP lawmakers.

Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel:

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).

The subject line of the second email was: "Atten: Death Threat!!!! Bomb!!!" In that email, she purportedly wrote, "Please put your things in order because you will be killed and your families will also be killed due to your actions in the last 8 weeks."

"I hope you have a good time in hell," she allegedly wrote in the lengthy email in which she purportedly listed scenarios in which the legislators and their families would die, including bombings and by "putting a nice little bullet in your head."

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.

She was charged with two felonies carrying a three year sentence and $10,000 fine. Wonder if the union will pay?


Hopefully, she will have several years to contemplate her stupidity while sitting in a "nice little jail cell."
