The Wisconsin Department of Justice says it has identified a person behind at least two threats made against elected officials in recent weeks.
The suspect admitted to sending two e-mails threatening to kill Gov. Scott Walker and seven Republican Senators, presumably including La Crosse's Dan Kapanke.
The case will be presented to the district attorney where the threat originated, according to the DOJ, which did not identify the suspect.
"If you and your goonies feel that it's necessary to strip the rights of 300,000 people and ruin their lives," one e-mail read, "We will ‘get rid of' (in which I mean kill) the 8 of you."
The DOJ did not specify who received the message.
Kapanke, who was not immediately available today, said Thursday he was the subject of two e-mailed threats, which he called "disgusting."
He said he was concerned for his family but didn't plan to drastically alter his routine.
"I'm a pretty trusting guy," he said. "I love to be with people. I'm going to continue to do that but be a little more cautious."
This will only be covered on Fox News
They ought to put him in jail and throw away the key! That email was horrible!
Prosecute him to the fullest extent of the law, and keep all union members off that jury.
Russ Feingold??
Wonder when they will release the information on the suspect?!
ping
I hope they nail these creeps.
Nothing will happen in this Banana Republic.
Exile him to Ill. where he an become a blossoming member of their state political subculture.
Let’s see....no name, no bio, no political affiliation.
Can’t be a Republican or they would have said it was. Who does that leave?
No Digger, Wisconsin has proved that we are not a Banana Republic.
We took the state back from the democrats in November and took the power away from the public service unions this week.
I had a call from a fund raiser for a republican committee last night and I told him to buzz off and stop calling me. About 4 to 5 minutes I get a call by a guy disguising his voice threatening my life with all type vile threats. I asked him if he was a union goon from Wisconsin or if he got his training in a federal prison prior to release and he continued his threats so I told him his phone number was recored on my VoI and I hung up...
