Teacher arrested in Web posting

Don Behm:

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.

  1. The deeper and far funnier story, in a karmic or ironic sort of way, is that the blog owner, Owen, had led an AFP-sponsored robo-calling effort against West Bend’s school referendum a month or so ago. School officials might’ve been eager to pin a threat on a B&S commenter. Who knew it would turn out to be a teacher from a different school district?
