As reported in the Hartford Courant, Hal Turner has been arrested for asking his audience to kill two elected officials and an official from a regulatory agency.

Finally, someone is treating the advocates for domestic terrorism the right way.

Mr. Turner's comments are above and beyond the threshold of free speech," Capitol police Chief Michael J. Fallon said in an e-mail announcing the warrant. "He is inciting others through his website to commit acts of violence and has created fear and alarm. He should be held accountable for his conduct."

So what did he say that was so bad?

"It is our intent to foment direct action against these individuals personally," the blog stated. "These beastly government officials should be made an example of as a warning to others in government: Obey the Constitution or die."

And, the post continued, "If any state attorney, police department or court thinks they're going to get uppity with us about this; I suspect we have enough bullets to put them down too."

Excellent Diary a couple days ago on Turner.
