A Washington state man has been charged in Sacramento federal court with making threats against an individual at a Placerville biotech firm publicly connected to Planned Parenthood’s handling of fetal tissue and organs.

Scott Anthony Orton, a resident of Puyallup, approximately 35 miles south of Seattle, is accused in a criminal complaint of directing threatening messages at an officer of StemExpress LLC after the firm was mentioned in a viral YouTube video as a recipient of fetal tissue from Planned Parenthood....

Two days later, Orton posted his first message on the Internet: “The management of StemExpress should be taken by force and killed in the streets today,” according to a log of the messages included in an affidavit of FBI Special Agent David Rubel, filed in support of the complaint against Orton....

Agents traced the messages to Orton, which were posted on the Fox Nation website by user “Joseywhales,’ a handle that may refer to “The Outlaw Josey Wales,” a 1976 movie directed and starring Clint Eastwood as a farmer whose family is murdered by Union soldiers during the Civil War. Fox News cooperated fully with the FBI in its investigation, according to the affidavit.
