MORE Faked “Hate Speech”

It’s really getting chronic:

“As readers of a conservative blog debated the subject of teacher salaries, a writer using the pseudonym “Observer” weighed in. The West Bend teachers’ salaries made him sick, the person wrote, adding that the 1999 Columbine High School killers had the right idea. “They knew how to deal with the overpaid teacher union thugs. One shot at a time! Too bad the liberls (sic) rip them; they were heros (sic) and should be remembered that way,” the writer said.

But police say the writer was a teacher himself – and the past president of a teachers union – apparently posing as a teacher-hater. James Buss was arrested Thursday by West Bend police, and the 46-year-old Cudahy man could face criminal charges. He has been suspended from his job as a teacher at Oak Creek High School….

Owen Robinson, a West Bend resident and administrator of bootsandsabers.com – a collection of news and conservative commentary where the message was posted at 6:50 p.m. Nov. 16 – said Friday that it seemed that “Observer” was “posing as a conservative, right-wing whack job to discredit” the Web site’s discussion of teachers’ salaries.

    What’s this guys charge? Writing something ridiculous?

    Let’s get some consistency here folks. “Hate Speech” “Thought crimes” and all the big brother crap needs to go. Even ones we agree with on. And Consistency has gone out the window on this blog. Being that I’ve been coming to it since the begining, and seen it go.

    So the guys a whack-job. Going to lock him up for stupidity? Give me a break.

    “The teacher and district officials considered it a threat,” Netko said, referring to the statement “One shot at a time” in the message.

    “If you’re a teacher, you would take this seriously,” he said.

    Maryjane Burdge, West Bend’s assistant superintendent of curriculum and instruction, agreed that she and other officials did interpret the statement as a threat. For that reason, they notified police the same day of the posting.

    Ron believes terrorist threats are free speech, Check.
