State police are investigating a threat, in the form of a dead goat with a note, aimed at State Assemblyman Gregory Ball (R-Patterson). The black and white goat with horns was found Thursday night on the street outside Ball’s home with an abusive message tied around its neck.
In broken Spanish, scrawled on a scrap of cardboard, the note called Ball an “(expletive) American” and was signed MS-13, the name of a notorious Central American gang.
While the two-term assemblyman has supported legislation aimed at deporting violent illegal immigrants, he said he thinks the gang threat is phony because some of the note’s Spanish was misspelled.
Ball suspects the message could signal retaliation from some disenfranchised constituents. When he won his seat, in 2006, he knocked out a family line that had been in power in Putnam County for more than 70 years. Ball also said he took on organized crime in Danbury. Perhaps the culprits knew the assemblyman was a long-time 4-H member who used to raise goats like the one dumped by his house.

Would be nice for any BS Obama tries to toss around.
LOL! No goats are used in the making of the ale. My dear husband has no idea why it is named thus. He brewed it long, long ago, not a memorable brew except for the name.
SERE_DOC, I’m sorry to hear about your goat problem ;-) My husband has interesting memories of SERE training.
“Nice, huh? Welcome to the Turd World...”
If this truly was MS13 message, a dead goat with a note around his neck is only the tip of the iceberg,,,,, September 8, 2008:
