Prosecutors say anger over a political television ad at a bar led a Chicago man to send Republican gubernatorial candidate Darren Bailey a voicemail threatening to mutilate and kill him and his family — a threat that also prompted a lockdown of schools associated with the state senator and his family.
Bail was set at $75,000 for Scott Lennox, 21, of 3300 N. Lake Shore Drive, who is charged with one felony count each of threatening a public official, telephone harassment and harassment by electronic communications, according to the Cook County State’s Attorney’s office.
At a Wednesday afternoon hearing, Cook County Judge Susan Ortiz also put Lennox on electronic monitoring and barred him from contacting Bailey, his family or any of his employees.
“I’m going to skin Darren Bailey alive, making sure he is still alive, and I’m going to feed his f****** family to him as he is alive and screaming in f****** pain,” prosecutors say Lennox said in the voicemail. He also made statements about abortion in his message.
He further said, “He is a piece of white a** racist s***, and honestly if he doesn’t kill himself, I will. You know what? I know where he lives. I know where he sleeps. I know where his kids sleep. And I know the f****** school he works at,” prosecutors allege he said. Lennox also said “the candidate teaching all this mother f****** misinformation is going to die. So honestly he should just kill himself before anything else happens.”

Those damn Brandon supporters are so damn violent. They don’t want to work. All they want to do is kill Americans.
Just another crazed libtard zombie attacking political opponents
We’re not supposed to notice that
Scott Lennox has been fitted with electronic monitoring, so I guess that means he is now free on bail.
Too bad they didn’t get his picture before setting him free.
I blame Lori Lightweight.
She did, after call, declare a “call to arms” several weeks ago.
Has Nanshee Peloshi or Pedo Joe decried this assault on democracy yet?
I’m sure Biden and all of cronies will be all over this, denouncing it as a threat to our democracy.
Nah. A set by the dems to further their lies.
This won’t be in the evening news and our nazi-leader isn’t going to mention it in his Nuremberg Speech #2 tonight.
I didn’t know the Amish had telephones.
These are probably Mennonites /s
Caused by rhetoric on the right. /s
