Man arrested for Michael Schiavo threat

Man arrested for Michael Schiavo threat
Friday, March 25, 2005
A man has been arrested and charged with offering a $250,000 award for killing Michael Schiavo.

Richard Alan Meywes was arrested in Fairview, North Carolina by the FBI and the Buncombe County Sheriff's Office.

On March 23, the Pinellas County Sheriff's Office forwarded an email to the FBI in Tampa which purportedly offered a $250,000 bounty on "the head of Michael Schiavo." The email placed an additional $50,000 bounty for the elimination of a judge who recently denied a request to intervene in the Schiavo case.

Edited on Fri Mar-25-05 07:32 PM by jg82567
the Republicans, esp. Tom Delay and Randall Terry and Jeb Bush should be charged with inciting this kind of s**t...or at least held accountable in SOME way...of course, I won't be holding my breath...

12. look at this article-NOTHING about how this sort of attitude/behavior

4. This has gone beyond ridiculous
Why can't they let this poor woman die with a little peace and dignity and let her husband mourn her passing?

Just what we were afraid of. I surely hope that there are some serious security provisions being made for him and the various judges.

9. Where's the link between life and murder?
I thought these folks were fighting for the LIFE of Terri Shiavo! How can you be so strongly fighting for the saving of a life BY KILLING SOMEONE TO GET IT?

13. This ain't the only nutcase out there
Apparently some idiot (in Ohio, I think) got busted trying to steal weapons from a gun shop with the intention of "liberating" Terri Schiavo.

What kind of an IDIOT attempts to steal guns from a gun shop Wouldn't one assume the employees are ARMED?? :dunce:

19. I hope BayNews9 is not the only station
to report it this way.

The politicians have certainly fanned the flames.
