Madison — A 26-year-old woman was charged Thursday with two felony counts and two misdemeanor counts accusing her of 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 Circuit Court.
According to the criminal complaint, Windels sent an email threat to state Sen. Robert Cowles (R-Green Bay) on March 9, the day the Senate passed a measure to sharply curtail collective bargaining for public workers. Later that evening, she sent another email to 15 Republican legislators, including Senate Majority Leader Scott Fitzgerald (R-Juneau), the complaint says.
The subject 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 that 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 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, Windels said, "No," according to the complaint.
Windels was charged with two felony counts of "bomb scare" and two misdemeanor counts of "computer message-threatening injury/bodily harm." 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.
Dane County District Attorney Ismael Ozanne, a Democrat, filed charges just hours after Republican Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen's office expressed concern he'd not done so. Lawyers for Ozanne and Van Hollen are on opposite sides of a case Ozanne filed alleging the collective bargaining law was improperly adopted and should be voided.
WKOW-TV in Madison reported Windels was not in custody. She was expected to be served Friday, with her first court appearance in late April, according to the station's website.

Ask the FBI about death threats on that WH socialist nigga and growth in membership in right-wing hate groups since his election.
Then share with us your wise, even-handed perspective on who is the biggest threat.

I think these people are less political extremists, and more mentally ill retards tbh. The political theater just aids in bringing full retard to the surface a lot sooner.

Must be thanks to her teacher's salary and not the aggregate of it and her husband's income since everybody knows teachers don't marry high dolla/white colla professionals.

Now you're getting it! She totally refused to work hard, make sound investments, and promote advances in her job sector...instead she relied on the bullying afforded by teacher's unions to live in a house with a a two car garage with two seperate entrances. Pathetic, swindler of an American!

Actually, I made a very wise choice. I was about to build a custom home, but decided to put that off for a few years. Good thing too, considering what happened to the housing market. I bought a very affordable house that should be easy to sell, when the time is right. Otherwise, I can always keep it for a rental property.

It aint worth it. You need at least 4 or 5 before buying rental property makes any sense whatsoever. Otherwise, it's just a colossal pain in the ass for very little income.

And yet, you still envy the houses of others.

Obviously Darrin just needs to work harder if he wants a bigger house.

Re: Woman charged for death threats on Wisconsin Republicans
maybe Darrin can join Wild Cobra's mom on the welfare line since he's so poor he can't afford a two-car garage.
