Charges have been upgraded to a felony for a Chicago man accused of threatening a state representative over gay marriage remarks. Police say shortly after Stephen Bona, of Chicago, was charged with a misdemeanor for placing a threatening voice mail at Jeanne Ives' district office, he placed another call to her, leading them to change the misdemeanor charges to threatening a public official, a Class 3 felony. If convicted, Bona could face up to five years in jail.
Wheaton Police Chief Mark Field told the Daily Herald Monday that Bona was arrested and charged March 22, hours after Republican state Rep. Jeanne Ives, of Wheaton, reported getting a threatening voice mail at her district office.
"Your Tea Party brethren Sarah Palin put up a map that included the names, locations, and faces of Democratic candidates and put them in the cross hairs of a gun," the caller said on the voice mail, a recording of which Ives provided to the Daily Herald.
The caller went on to suggest that "perhaps we should do the same for you. We know where you live."
After Bona was arrested, a caller who identified himself as Bona left another voice mail for Ives, police say, leaving his name, address and telephone number, and noting that "for the record, I was charged with disorderly conduct following ... phone calls made to your office in response to your outrageous and personally disturbing comments about same sex relationships."
Ives, the caller said, caused him to "experience extreme disturbance and provoked a breach of the peace as a result of your comments." He pledged to "pursue every legal avenue to hold you accountable."(continued)

“And if they tell you that, ‘Well, we’re not sure where he stands on guns.’ I want you to say, ‘He believes in the Second Amendment.’ If they tell you, ‘Well, he’s going to raise your taxes,’ you say, ‘No, he’s not, he’s going lower them.’ You are my ambassadors. You guys are the ones who can make the case.” ~President Barack Hussein Obama

Map Points are Crosshairs? Oh yeah, I forgot.
I guess this guy was one of the few that Protested the Movie about the Assassination of President Bush.
In fact, I’m sure he had a problem with the “Snipers Wanted” gag on the late night CBS Show that had President Bush on a Target in the crosshairs of a Scope.
Who do we have to thank for that wonderful piece of legislation?
Which legislation is that?
libtards in wisconsin threatened republican lawmakers with death and none got prosecuted.
this is why there will eventually be revolution - selective enforcement of laws only on people that those in power hate.
Threatening someone who swore to uphold the Constitution (no matter the party). Which early president was it that made it illegal to say bad things about the president in newspapers?
Forget about that last part. There is one set of rules for the elected and a far different set for the oppressed. They can threaten your well being, your property, your family and your very life but it's not a two-way deal any more.
Chicago???? Probably one of Obama’s “Mans Country” buddies.
