A Wisconsin early childhood teacher was charged with sending death threats to state Republican lawmakers.
Her name is Katherine Windels and she is a Wisconsin teacher.
Here’s the criminal complaint.
JS Online reported:
A 26-year-old woman was charged Thursday with two felony counts and two misdemeanor counts for allegedly making email threats against Wisconsin lawmakers during the height of the battle over Gov. Scott Walker’s budget-repair bill.
Katherine R. Windels of Cross Plains was named in a criminal complaint filed in Dane County Criminal Court.
According to the criminal complaint, Windels allegedly sent an email threat to State Sen. Robert Cowles (R-Green Bay) March 9. Later that evening, she allegedly sent another email to 15 Republican legislators, including Senate Majority Leader Scott Fitzgerald (R-Juneau).
The subject line of the second email was: “Atten: Death Threat!!!! Bomb!!!” In that email, she purportedly wrote, “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.”
“I hope you have a good time in hell,” she allegedly wrote in the lengthy email in which she purportedly listed scenarios in which the legislators and their families would die, including bombings and by “putting a nice little bullet in your head.”
According to the criminal complaint, Windels told investigators “I sent out emails that I was
disgusted and very upset by what they were doing.”Asked if she intended to follow through on any of her threats, Windels told the investigators “No,” according to the complaint.
Windels was charged with two felony counts “bomb scare” and two misdemeanor counts of “computer message-threatening injury/bodily harm.” If convicted, each felony count carries a maximum penalty of three years and six months in prison and a $10,000 fine, and each misdemeanor count carries a maximum penalty of 90 days in prison and a $1,000 fine.
Underground Conservative has much more on the violent teacher including this.
She is a 2010 graduate of Madison Area Technical College with an Associate’s Degree in Early Childhood Education, which would fir, 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.
Here again is the vile threat Windels sent out to Republican lawmakers in Wisconsin.

I am reprinting verbatim an email that was sent to Republican senators. The email was signed, but I have deleted the name pending what I hope will be a thorough police investigation.
That is just disgusting.
Right on Weathercreek says her father is a psychiatrist.
More… Charlie Sykes reported that the Dane County DA’s office dragged its feet on issuing charges in the case.
Doug Ross has more on Windels.

wow. this doesn’t surprise me one bit, many of those people protesting were scary, no wonder the silent majority just watched this on TV.
btw… the state dept starting april 2011 has new requirements for a certified birth certificate to get a US passport.
http://travel.state.gov/passport/passport_5401.html
check it out, the fraud has stricter standards to get a US passport than to run for president.
from the state dept:
New U.S. Birth Certificate Requirement
Beginning April 1, 2011, the U.S. Department of State will require the full names of the applicant’s parent(s) to be listed on all certified birth certificates to be considered as primary evidence of U.S. citizenship for all passport applicants, regardless of age. Certified birth certificates missing this information will not be acceptable as evidence of citizenship.
In addition to this requirement, certified copies of birth certificates must also include the following information to be considered acceptable primary evidence of U.S. citizenship:
Full name of the applicant
Date of birth
Place of birth
Raised, embossed, impressed or multicolored seal of issuing authority
Registrar’s signature
The date the certificate was filed with the registrar’s office (must be within one year)

Can a teacher charged with a felony – teach?
J commented:
On the bright side, she’s not an English teacher.
Hank commented:
This mentally unstable person has no business being anywhere near children.
Hopefully she will serve time and lose her teaching credentails. Probably being supported by her union as we speak.
Her actions are, sadly, standard operating procedure for a union goon.
Despicable.

Just the kind of person that we want taking care of our preschoolers.

Prosecute to the fullest extent of the law.
The Underground Conservative commented:
I have an update at my place, a link to a letter detailing how the Dane County DA’s office was dragging its heels on filing charges until the state DOJ got involved. That’s the same DA that filed the lawsuit to block implementation of the budget repair law.
Andreas K. commented:
The really scary thing is that fascists like her teach children.
Rhinestone Suderman commented:
I hope she has a good time in jail.
Rhinestone Suderman commented:
Can you imagine how she’d deal with any kids in her class? Suppose they act up, or don’t understand math? “YOU WILL DIE!”
Lock. Her. Up!
Tim commented:
@J . . . that was funny. This woman should never be allowed in any sort of classroom again.
Floyd Looney commented:
The left are violent and mentally unstable. That is what scary.
I call them entitlement zombies.
Muffin commented:
Are you starting to see the full extent of what is happening in public schools?
Union control results in quality teachers like this.
No way. Not with my kid.
Terry in GA commented:
When you say “charged”, does that mean “charged with and arrested for” the offenses?
Does WI law also provide that state workers who work with children must be free of felony charges in order to be employed with children? She might find that she chose the wrong field of study in light of her problems controlling her temper and/or her anger management deficiencies.
I wonder if the local media has thought to cover this story. I also wonder how well this information went over with her father, who is the owner of the house where she was questioned. Though I’m much older than 26, I always KNEW that if I ever ended up in jail, I should not waste my one phone call on my father, but that I should call someone with whom my odds would be better at posting bond.
rasqual commented:
Judging by material available on-line, she seems a nice person with a normal life.
So here’s the thing: if being on the left can turn a nice person with a normal life into someone who’ll do this kind of thing…

Like the Jeff Dunham terrorist puppet,

Granny commented:
And lunatics like this are so sure that they are the “experts” when it comes to educating children. . . . sorry, not mine.
