Man Sends Death Threat To MD Governor O’Malley Over Illegal Aliens

2:13 am EST March 21st, 2008 | News | 6 Comments

Ah, the Republican base.

Walter C. Abbott Jr. has sent e-mails from time to time to the governor and state legislators complaining about losing construction work to illegal immigrants.

He never received anything but a form-letter type response.

This week, the 44-year-old Parkville man added something extra to his e-mail: a threat to strangle Gov. Martin O’Malley.

Within five hours, three Maryland state troopers responded to the e-mail. Abbott was arrested Tuesday and charged with threatening a public official.

He was being held Thursday night at the Baltimore County Detention Center on $2 million bail.

    “Within five hours, three Maryland state troopers responded to the e-mail. Abbott was arrested Tuesday and charged with threatening a public official.”

    … At least is wasn’t another form letter. He should be grateful about that while rotting in jail.

    No excuse for what this man did, but it would be nice if the state of Maryland exhibited the same diligence in dealing with illegal aliens.

    It could start, perhaps, by dealing diligently with the companies that hire illegal immigrants for less money, which drove Walter Abbott out of work.

    “No excuse for what this man did, but it would be nice if the state of Maryland exhibited the same diligence in dealing with illegal aliens.”

    There wouldn’t be so many illegal aliens if legal immigration wasn’t restricted so much.

    Of course, for many on the anti-illegal immigration debate, that would be just as bad.

    re: C.S.Strowbridge

    Have you seen the number of immigrants that are allowed legally and the number of babies born to tllegal aliens here that automatically entitles them to our social system benefits, Have you seen the numbers of visa programs that are ever ever expanding … and do you think theses people go back? Take a look around … we can not absorb these numbers and remain solvent and secure. America citizens should take priority….but we don’t.
