Man posted tea party death threats on Twitter
By Amanda Carpenter on April 26, 2009 into The Back Story
A 52-year-old Oklahoma City man was arrested on tax day for threatening to kill people attending a taxpayer tea party protest at the state Capitol.
News of the arrest came after the Department of Homeland Security issued a controversial report warning of the increase in violent "right-wing extremism in the United States."
According to an FBI criminal complaint, Daniel Knight Hayden, who went by the name CitizenQuasar on a popular microblogging site, threatened murder on several occasions in the run-up to tax day.
On April 11 he posted a message on Twitter that said,"The WAR wWIL [sic] start on the stepes [sic] of the Oklahoma State Capitol. I will cast the first stone."
That message was followed by others that said, ""START THE KILLING NOW" and "After I am killed on the Capitol Steps, like a REAL man, the rest of you will REMEMBER ME!!!" He also wrote "I really don't give a (expletive) anymore. Send the cops around. I will cut their heads off the heads and throw the(m) on the State Capitol steps."
