Sarah Palin obtained a protective order Monday against an 18-year-old Pennsylvania man who sent her receipts from a gun purchase, along with a letter saying “he tried to follow the Bible but had evil and wickedness in him.”
Palin, 46, filed the request in Anchorage District Court against Shawn R. Christy, a man she says began stalking her by e-mail and phone since the summer of 2009. Palin’s friend, Kristan Cole, 48, filed for and received a similar protective order against Christy.
The 20-day protective orders Anchorage Magistrate Colleen Ray signed Monday prohibit Christy from following, approaching, confronting, watching or otherwise staking or threatening to stalk or assault Palin or Cole.
The protective orders say Christy has been stalking the families since 2009.
Cole said she became concerned about Christy’s letters and e-mails for months, but it ended up in court yesterday after the man called her to say his plane had landed in Alaska.
“When someone sends you proof that they’ve purchased weapons. Proof that they know where you live. And said that they are looking into purchasing a one-way plane ticket to Alaska and then calls from a cell phone with a 907 number, it’s over the line and we need protecting.”
Cole said the Wasilla Police called him back at that phone number and spoke

“Palin Granted Restraining Order Against 18-year-old Stalker”
By Chet Dembeck
Published Sep 28, 2010
SNIPPET: “Cole also testified that in a letter Christy had sent her in August , he told her “he tried to follow the Bible, but had evil and wickedness in him.” Cole testified that Christy then told her that he was convinced she is evil and must be punished.
Christy also made an unfounded claim that he had had sexual relations with Palin, according to court documents. “Petitioner testified that respondent has told her that he has had an affair with Gov. Palin and that petitioner needs to tell the FBI the truth about the affair.” An attorney representing Palin and Cole introduced evidence from the Secret Service that Christy had allegedly threatened or said he wanted to sexually assault Palin.”
It’s probably 20 days for a hearing to be set at which time the order is either denied or made longer. Usually a year.
Though they are little protection they do give the police more leeway in making arrests if he is caught nearby her and if worse came to worst and he was killed trying to get to her it would give them something to pont to and say “look we tried”

Palin Stalker Terror: “He wants me dead” (Atty: One of scores threatening former Gov.)

The news media has been slow to report the emergency restraining order obtained Monday by former Alaska Governor and 2008 Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin against 18 year old Pennsylvania man Shawn R. Christy. It took forty-eight hours for the national media to report on the court order, even though it was reported online by the local paper the Mat-Su Valley Frontiersman on Tuesday.
Palin friend Kristan Cole also obtained a restraining order against Christy, who reportedly told Cole he had bought a gun and flown to Alaska in recent days.
This evening, the Associated Press quoted testimony Palin gave by telephone in the hearing Monday:
“Bottom line is, he is crazy and could kill me,” Palin said, according to the court transcript. “He wants me dead.”
Palin also testified that he also believes he has some kind of relationship with her daughter, Willow, and has brought up the girl’s name.
The AP also quoted Palin’s attorney Thomas Van Flein on the constant threats the Palin family has lived with since she came to national prominence two years ago:
Christy had “risen to the top of the dozens and dozens of people” who have threatened Palin since 2008, when she emerged on the national stage. “He stands out as the most persistent,” trying to reach her through friends, associates and family members, he said.
Reuters also published their first article on the Palin stalker tonight, noting “Cole, like the former Republican vice presidential candidate, is from Wasilla and a former beauty pageant contestant.”
The Frontiersman reported more details today:
Cole testified that Christy sent a letter in August 2010 saying that “he tried to follow the bible but had evil and wickedness in him.” She said Christy told her that he is convinced she is evil and must be punished.
“Petitioner is concerned because the respondent appears to be unstable and has stated that he believes petitioner is evil and that she needs to be punished and that he is coming to confront her to get her to tell the truth.”
Christy also claims to have had a sexual relationship with Gov. Palin, the documents say. “Petitioner testified that respondent has told her that he has had an affair with Gov. Palin and that petitioner needs to tell the FBI the truth about the affair.”
Palin testified that she has not had a sexual relationship with Christy, the filing stated.
AOL News reports on Christy’s purported Facebook page that Christy was homeschooled and claimed to work for a Hazelton recycling company.
The constant stalking the Palin family lives under explains their visceral reaction to literary stalker Joe McGinnis moving into the home next door to the Palins last summer to work on a book about Sarah Palin.
The media’s slow coverage of the threats to Palin are in keeping with their downplaying of the arson fire at her church in Wasilla after the 2008 presidential election.
