Anchorage social media ‘Kyle’ makes terroristic threats against governor

35

A government worker who is protected by his union has appeared to threaten the life of the governor of Alaska by calling for his assassination.

A Twitter post in the account owned by “Kyle” says that someone should kill the governor as a service to Alaska.

“Anyone willing to go to prison for killing Dunleavy? Would assuredly be to the benefit of Alaska / The guy is running this state into the ground / We can let him or we can do one little illegal thing / The calculation seems pretty one sided / One death could solve a significant number of things / Just saying / Moral and values should be flexible when necessary / Someone needs to permanently cancel the bad TV show known as Mike Dunleavy’s term as governor of Alaska,” Kyle’s Twitter account wrote.

A search of his past, which is a mostly profane and angry social media history, links this account to an employee of the Municipality of Anchorage, where he works for Maintenance and Operations at a desk job. He is protected by the Anchorage Municipal Employees Association union.

Several readers have forwarded the Twitter message to law enforcement, including the FBI, Anchorage Police, State Troopers, and the head of the governor’s security team. Although the threats were made Monday, they are still available on Twitter under Kyle’s user name, “@50_dolla_bill.”

Kyle has also written his leftist political opinions in the Anchorage Daily News, where he penned a letter that was printed several months ago: “The Anchorage Assembly recently passed an ordinance allowing for them to remove the mayor for a breach of public trust. They should seriously consider acting on that ordinance. The current mayoral administration has demonstrated time and again that its members will lie, cheat and steal anything they can from the municipality and the taxpayers. Last fall, we had the whole fluoridation incident at the water processing facility. The administration then lied about that. Then lied about lying about it.”

A year ago, he wrote, “Is Alaska really going to elect Sarah Palin again? She quit on us as governor halfway through her term to go make money grifting the Lower 48 and selling out Alaska. She has shown herself to be the worst among us as a Donald Trump-loving, lying grifter. Any Alaskans who were around for Gov. Palin should be ashamed and embarrassed of themselves if they voted for her in this election. When a person shows you who they are, believe them. Alaska needs better representation. Vote for Mary Peltola.”
