CASPER, Wyo. (AP) -- The University of Wyoming says it received threats after 1960s radical William Ayers was invited to speak on campus and it should be able to bar him for safety reasons.
The university filed court papers Saturday after it was sued over its refusal to rent its sports complex for a speech Wednesday by the University of Illinois-Chicago education professor. University lawyers submitted affidavits about threats made against Ayers, university staff and alumni after the university initially invited him to speak on campus.
None of the affidavits mentioned specific times when the threats would be carried out, and only one was forwarded to police for investigation. In that case, an e-mailer said the people who invited Ayers to speak should "eat a mouthful of buckshot."
One caller said he and his friends would take care of Ayers "the Cowboy way," according to the documents. In another case, education college dean Kay Persichitte said a man approached her at a supermarket and told her, "You should all be strung up and he (Ayers) should bomb you."
The university's Social Justice Research Center invited Ayers to speak earlier this month but canceled the event after getting hundreds of e-mail and telephone calls opposing his visit. UW student Meg Lanker then invited Ayers to speak, but the university barred him from appearing on campus.
Lanker and Ayers sued, arguing the university was violating First Amendment rights to free speech and assembly.

Looks like the denial of free speech occurs to both ends of the spectrum (sometimes... anyway).
What? Someone offered to do for his car what he did for the cop cars?
This is rich - the old geezer terrorist is on the other end of threats. Love it. Guess what goes around comes around after all.
I think it is still illegal to have a hunting rifle in a gun rack in a pickup in Cody.
I want all points of view out there. If our side is heard, we'll convince more people we're right; if their side is heard, people will run from them.
Additionally, Ayres instructed his wife in bomb making, and had her construct and place a bomb in a San Francisco police precinct that killed one officer and wounded six.
Ayers is more deserving of the "Indian way." Ant hill, stakes, wet rawhide, honey...
The Weather Underground planned and carried out the Nyack, NY attack on a Brinks armed vehicle and three officers were murdered.

I saw the Casper AP and wrote Cody. I am all messed up like this weather. It is snowing again again...
Frontier justice, Get a rope.
BY the way, Laramie is famous for its rough weather.
I do not understand why LEO don't exert maximum pressure to find the murderer of Sgt. McDonnell! It's going on 40 f'ing years!
Do we need an Arizona-type law to make murder illegal when the likely murderers are darlings of the media and the Establishment?
Here's another threat.. from Ayers' fans and protectors.
Frontier justice, Get a rope.
Just today, 3 armed robbers were charged with murder in the death of the fourth armed robber when their car crashed after fleeing police. Ayers murdered his wife and others and there is no statute of limitations for murder.
The protest signs should say “Try Ayers for murder” but I wouldn’t give this guy the time of day. I would protest at the offices of the idiots who invited him.
