Holy shit.

Lutheran pastor resigns after being linked to threatening email

A Lutheran pastor in La Crosse resigned on Tuesday, four days after a vulgar and virulent email threatening to gang rape a Milwaukee bloggerwho criticized police work was sent from his home email address, a spokesman for the Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod said……..

Van Fossen, a liberal Milwaukee activist and blogger, said she was inundated with emails and telephone calls critical of 𠂺 blog post ​ in which she declared that police cause more harm than good​. Much of the anger was directed at the timing of the post — one day after State Trooper Trevor Casper , 21, was shot and killed by a bank robber in Fond du Lac…….

The most extreme response to the post, Van Fossen said, was a screed dated March 27 from Wendt’s home email address calling her “the dumbest (expletive) liberal (expletive) I’ve heard yet.”

The email goes on to tell Van Fossen to “Get off the drugs, (expletive), and go check yourself into rehab. … Or better yet, you’re pretty hot. So how about if I come over and rape you with a few of my friends. WHEW! At least I won’t have to worry about you calling the police.”

Van Fossen traced the Internet Provider address to La Crosse and posted the email on Facebook.
