Walker Death Threat Suspect A Felon
By Brian Sikma
On Monday, the MacIver News Service reported that a death threat had been made against Governor Scott Walker on a recall Walker Facebook page. The page was advertising the upcoming Walker recall kickoff rally hosted by We Are Wisconsin, one of the leading leftwing conduit groups that channeled millions of dollars in out-of-state money into the summer recall elections. Regan Cowan, a Dane County resident, was the one who made the threat. Shortly after the threat was brought to light, the comment was deleted from Facebook.

Cowan, who suggested that Walker be killed instead of recalled, said that she was willing to make use of the state’s new concealed carry law to carry out her idea. Her personal Facebook page was unavailable Tuesday morning and an initial search of Facebook did not reveal any other comments made by Cowan. Media Trackers did, however, review Ms. Cowan’s court records and found that she has a long history of civil and criminal issues.
In her record, which spans 25 different incidents, Cowan has pled guilty to two felony charges. The first one came in 2003 when she failed to report to jail, a Class H felony. The second one came in 2007 when she was found guilty of committing forgery, also a Class H felony.
Along with her felony in 2003, Cowan was found guilty five different times in incidents ranging from twice being found in possession of drug paraphernalia to damaging property, and then disorderly conduct and operating a vehicle on a revoked license. Perhaps one of the more disturbing cases came in 2004 when Cowan was involved in a hit and run incident that took place while she was driving with her license revoked.
From a record of repeated traffic infractions to felony convictions and public disturbances, it is clear that Regan Cowan is someone whose threats should be taken seriously. The Capitol Police have said that they take each threat seriously and while some lawmakers have found fault with the Capitol Police’s handling of leftwing protesters, this case involves someone who is more than just an average protester and thus it merits intense scrutiny and review.

I am thankful for efforts like Media Trackers since the main stream media will not report the truth.
I stand with Governor Walker!

I question the ability of the Capitol Police to adequately investigate this threat. The sympathies of the CP have been obvious, they are NOT Walker fans! Something as serious as a death threat from someone with her record should go to the state police or some other proven law enforcement agency.

I’m guessing another “Stay away from the internet for a while” sentence. And when did homos become so violent?

the Capitol Police would be the last people I would entrust with a case like this. They are extremely and obviously bipartisan. CP could really use a police chief like David Clark right now.

Nothing will happen to her, the Dane County DA is spineless.

srsly , name one governor that hasn’t received death threats ? Doyle received death threats as well . only difference was he didn’t politicize them . also if we follow the score card of violence used, the pro-walker crowd has committed much more actually violent acts than the the anti-walker crowd (assaults in the capitol and rocks being thrown through windows vs a little spilled beer !!! )

What else would you expect from another scumbag leftie? She’s a complete loser and Walker should be afraid of her. I am guessing that there are morons out there who think that Regan Cowan is a hero.

Well, let’s see…today we had a teacher receive a death threat, another thug commit a felony by ripping up a petition and no charges against Regan, mainly because she didn’t commit a crime. Yet Muck Rakers has yet to say a word about any of these stories. Why is that? Doesn’t fit the template?
