A Washington state man was charged Tuesday with threatening to kill Sen. Patty Murray (D-Wash.), the latest incident in a string of threats against members of Congress in wake of last month’s health care vote.


Charles Alan Wilson, 64, was arrested at his home in central Washington after he allegedly called Murray's office on numerous occasions over the last few weeks saying that she "had a target on her back, " and "I want to [expletive] kill you," according to court documents. The alleged phone calls stretched over almost two weeks and were said to be in relation to Murray's vote to pass health care overhaul legislation



According to the documents, two other phrases in that conversation convinced the FBI that Wilson was man who had left the stream of threatening voicemails: He called Murray and Cantwell “Pike Street whores” and called Murray “sneaker shoes Murray” — both phrases captured when he allegedly called the senator’s office from a blocked number. The man who made the phone calls also said “they need to be strung up, and I mean put [in] the gallows” adding that “they want to come throw me in jail, they can go ahead and do that. that’s fine.”

The caller also mentioned that he was registered to carry a concealed weapon.

“I do pack,” court documents say Wilson told the FBI agent — a term that refers to carrying a gun. “And I will not blink…when I’m confronted, and that is a guarantee. It’s not a threat, it’s a guarantee."



I think this guys days of "packing" are over.

People who make overt threats to elected officials SHOULD be arrested and charged.

I don't buy the "string of threats", there are nuts on both sides, if they cross the line I say hammer them. This is no indictment of the tea-party folks, just a individual who crossed the line and will pay for it.
