FBI Visits Elderly Woman Over Threat to Castrate Politician

[The Northerner]

A threat an elderly Guilford is accused of making over Planned Parenthood funding doesn't quite jibe with recent efforts to be more civil in political discourse.

The woman is accused of threatening to castrate a politician who wants to cut funding for Planned Parenthood, the New Haven Register reports.

The FBI went to the woman's home on Norton Road on Tuesday afternoon, after receiving a report of the phone call threat.

The woman is in her 80s and used to volunteer for Planned Parenthood, police told the newspaper. It's unclear which politician she threatened.

They didn't arrest her, right? Just went to see if she was a serious nut job who would make good on the threat?

The guy who shot up the holocaust museum was elderly too, if I remember right. I'm just wondering who would have reported that. Heck I make little off the cuff comments all the time........
