Governor Walker Threatened by Convicted Felon
By Charlie Sykes CREATED 11:01 AM

Via Media Trackers: Union front group left death threat from felon on its site for three days.

Cowan, who suggested that Walker be killed instead of recalled, said that she was willing to make use of the state’s new concealed carry law to carry out her idea. Her personal Facebook page was unavailable Tuesday morning and an initial search of Facebook did not reveal any other comments made by Cowan. Media Trackers did, however, review Ms. Cowan’s court records and found that she has a long history of civil and criminal issues.

In her record, which spans 25 different incidents, Cowan has pled guilty to two felony charges. The first one came in 2003 when she failed to report to jail, a Class H felony. The second one came in 2007 when she was found guilty of committing forgery, also a Class H felony.

Along with her felony in 2003, Cowan was found guilty five different times in incidents ranging from twice being found in possession of drug paraphernalia to damaging property, and then disorderly conduct and operating a vehicle on a revoked license. Perhaps one of the more disturbing cases came in 2004 when Cowan was involved in a hit and run incident that took place while she was driving with her license revoked.

1. What do you mean by "union front group"? nt

2. Uncertain about that! It was directly copied from website

3. Anything from 'Psyco" Sykes is going to be heavy on hyperbole and light on facts.

4. Violence is never acceptable...

but I really dislike how Sykes and others like him make this about unions. There's a lot of violent talk on some Facebook pages, unfortunately. I found the following posts on the "I Stand With Scott Walker" Facebook page in a discussion about the concealed carry law. They are not direct threats, but violent nonetheless. The number after the date/time is the number of people who "liked" the comment. I x'd out the names, but anyone with a Facebook account can go to that page and find the comments...

Mathew XXXXXX This certainly adds an interesting new dynamic to the next round of anti-walker demonstrations when they occure down in Madison; the next SEIU member who tries to act tough and rough some counter protester up is going to end up with his next body piercing being in the middle of his forehead.
