WI Depart of Justice is investigating an e-mail threatening the lives of some Republi

They said the email address was "apparent". I take that to me, the justice dept is onto who sent it.

It is a horrible threat-the way it was written and it should be investigated. But it seems just too obvious and upfront. They never did find out who planted the ammo in several places around the Capitol a few weeks ago. The result of that was to increase police presence and a crackdown on admitting people into the Capitol. This may be a sick joke but needs to be taken seriously.

MADISON, Wis. (AP) -- The Wisconsin Department of Justice is investigating an e-mail threatening the lives of some Republican state senators.

DOJ spokesman William Cosh says the Division of Criminal Investigation is investigating one e-mail and other threats from several sources, but he declined to be specific.

A spokesman for Senate Majority Leader Scott Fitzgerald says two death threat e-mails that were sent to Fitzgerald's office Wednesday night have been forwarded to Capitol police. Andrew Wellhouse says the address of the e-mail sender was apparent but that police directed him not to disclose it.

Newsradio 620 WTMJ has obtained that email. The following is the unedited email:

Please put your things in order because you will be killed and your familes will also be killed due to your actions in the last 8 weeks. Please explain to them that this is because if we get rid of you and your families then it will save the rights of 300,000 people and also be able to close the deficit that you have created. I hope you have a good time in hell. Read below for more information on possible scenarios in which you will die.

13. Actually, the increased police presence happened *before* the ammo appeared.
It conveniently materialized the night before the judge was supposed to render a decision and things didn't appear to be going Walker's way.

16. Just from reading it, I get the impression it came from the other side. The constant refrain
about saving 300,000 sounds a lot like some of the anti-abortionists stuff I've seen posted.

It just doesn't ring true.
