Update: Charlie Sykes has this letter from the Wisconsin Department of Justice. Apparently the Dane County DA’s office was dragging its heels in issuing charges in the case. Yes, folks, this is the same DA that filed the lawsuit against the budget repair bill.
Yawn. Nothing to see here, folks. Move along.
Yes, you read that right.
A 26-year-old early childhood teacher is under arrest charged with making bomb threats and sending e-mails containing death threats to Republican members of the State Senate and Gov. Walker over the budget repair bill.
A Cross Plains woman was charged Thursday with making death threats to Republican state senators in connection with Gov. Scott Walker’s controversial plan to limit collective bargaining for public employees.
Katherine R. Windels, 26, of Cross Plains faces two felony bomb scare counts and two misdemeanor counts of sending a computer message threatening injury or harm.
According to a criminal complaint filed in Dane County Circuit Court, Windels sent threatening emails to 15 Republican senators on March 9 that began: “Please put your things in order because you will be killed and your families will also be killed due to your actions in the last 8 weeks.”
She also sent a separate email to Sen. Robert Cowles, R-Green Bay, the same day threatening to put “a nice little bullet in your head” and claiming to have placed several bombs in his house and car, as well as at the state Capitol, the complaint states.
Here’s the criminal complaint against Windels.
More coverage can be read here and here.
This is Katherine Windels:
Here’s Windels’ Internet profile from a website called PeekYou:
She is a 2010 graduate of Madison Area Technical College with an Associate’s Degree in Early Childhood Education, which would fit, since on her PeekYou profile she lists Wexford Head Start as one of her work experiences. She also lists a place called The Red Caboose; a Google search turns up a Red Caboose in Madison for Toddler, Preschool and School Age programs.
More from the Sentinel Journal here.
Prediction: she pleas out to a misdemeanor charge, serves no jail time and gets community service. Hopefully her Wisconsin license to be an ECE teacher is pulled. She has no business around children. I’d just as soon have Michael Jackson babysit my kids than have them around people like her.
BTW – her father, William Wendels, is a psychiatrist…

@Roger: I am going on the information in the PeekYou profile, which matches other information I have received. I noticed the discrepancy but felt the White Plains and ECE references were enough to offset that. The MATC graduation records list her middle initial as “R.” But how many Katherine Windels can there be from Cross Plains that work in ECE? The similarities have to be more than coincidence.

This person does not have a teaching license in Wisconsin- I checked. There is a difference between an early child hood teacher, where you have a 4 year degree and certified to teach by the state and an associate degree teacher who really is a glorified baby sitter and you are not licensed by the state.
Hopefully, this thugette will never be able to be around children in any sort of job in the future.

As conservative Americans, it is our responsibility to look for one quality more than any other when selecting a nominee in the months ahead. I want you to ask yourself ONE question when you are deciding the worthiness of a candidate. Is this person ELECTABLE? “My friends” we did not do that the last time around. We no longer have the luxury of choosing a candidate based on their position on a single issue that may be near and dear to our hearts. This time there is a lot more at stake. There is a greater good here, and we can achieve it if we stay together and make good decisions. Bad officials are elected by good citizens who don’t vote so get out there and make them hear you! Now lets get to work……………

Liberal Lie #14: The Right Is Violent, the Left Is Civil – Katherine Windels…
Oh, you never heard of Katherine Windels? That means the nation’s most prominent Democrat politicians and mainstream media—those bastions of the New Civility—have done their job of suppressing the inconvenient truth that yet another instance of violenc…
Does anyone other than me see the gross irony of it all? For years we are told that the millions of people who listen daily Limbaugh, Hannity, Beck, etc. are all being turned into little Timothy McVeighs (and no one never even bothered to prove that McVeigh was a right-wing talk-radio listener, but hey, why ruin a good politically-motivated myth?)
But in fact, it’s been the complete opposite. Only left-wing rhetoric has created violence in this country as of late:
It’s left-wing socialist class-warfare rhetoric—amplified and propagated by prominent liberal politicians and compliant mainstream media—that incite angry mobs to shatter store windows; vandalize private businesses and banks; and hurl paint, firecrackers, and lightbulbs filled with ammonia at police, just this past week in London’s Trafalgar Square.
It’s left-wing socialist class-warfare rhetoric—amplified and propagated by prominent liberal politicians and compliant mainstream media—that incite angry mobs to break store windows, vandalize buildings, and torch police cars during last June’s G20 summit in Toronto.
It’s left-wing socialist class-warfare rhetoric—amplified and propagated by prominent liberal politicians and compliant mainstream media—that caused union thugs and protestors of other liberal stripes to converge upon the private residences of individuals they don’t like and terrorizing their families trapped inside. Such victims have included Karl Rove, AIG executives, and, most recently, John Boehner and Wisconsin state Republicans.
It’s left-wing environ-mental-ist rhetoric—amplified and propagated by prominent liberal politicians and compliant mainstream media—that caused one James Jay Lee to hold hostages at the Discovery Channel’s Maryland headquarters because its environmental programming wasn’t alarmist enough in his view.
It’s left-wing environ-mental-ist rhetoric—amplified and propagated by prominent liberal politicians and compliant mainstream media—that inspired “Unibomber” Ted Kaczynski to hold hostages.
A combination of left-wing socialist class-warfare and environ-mental-ist rhetoric—amplified and propagated by prominent liberal politicians and compliant mainstream media—incited someone to send a mail bomb to an oil executive during the height of the BP oil spill, injuring his wife when she opened the package.
It’s left-wing anti-war rhetoric—amplified and propagated by prominent liberal politicians and compliant mainstream media—that caused the streets of major cities around the country to be fouled by the most vicious and hateful slurs toward George W. Bush, Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, and Condaleezza Rice.
It’s left-wing anti-war rhetoric—amplified and propagated by prominent liberal politicians and compliant mainstream media—that prompted “peace activists” to commit violence towards our brave military, such as vandilizing military recruitment centers, banning ROTC’s on college campuses, and even fragging (the act of subordinate military personnel to shoot their own superior officers.)
In my opinion, Katherine R. Windels did a stupid thing. And she should be punished for it. But let’s not pretend her actions are not the result of a mindset created by constant bombardment of left-wing ideas: Hatred toward “the rich,” hatred toward “traditional values,” hatred toward the Founders and Founding Documents, hatred toward war (unless it’s a war started by a Democrat).
In short, Windels is the result of what happens when left-wing rhetoric goes unchecked.

I am not shocked, throughout Wis. there are legions of liberals and leftists willing to flaunt their stupidity, we all witnessed their locked step march as useful idiots on the capital. They fail to realize that most states are flat broke and if the pensions and health care systems are not modified there will not be a dime left for anyone in the years to co0me. Regardless of which former elected officials promised or squandered away state funds that is past, the tape cannot be rewound.
