(Graphic shamelessly stolen from Lundesigns – I was going to pshop a pic of her scooping poo if I could find a suitable photo, but this is so much more awesomer.)
Ignoring the actual content of the statements, which of these sounds more coherent?
“I might have said that I am going to kill you or I want to kill you.”
or
“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.”
Granted, Katherine Windels couldn’t have been terribly mentally coherent in any case if she thought that emailing bomb threats to senators was a good (and legal) idea. The second statement sounds to me like some thought was given to it, though, while the first statement sounds like my 8-year-old trying to explain his way out of why he pulled the curtains off the wall. I would guess that, at some point in her early childhood ed teaching experience that she was instructed that if there ever is a bomb threat, the police need to be called. If the police need to be called, it just might be that something illegal has been done.
tmi3rd posted the abovementioned link and pointed out that the gal issuing these supportive statements to members of the Wisconsin Senate is a nursery school teacher. (I believe, but am not 100% certain, that this is her LinkedIn profile.) I’m guessing she’s going to be back to scooping dog poo after this.
