Apparently the wack job who calls himself "freedom" in the letters to the editor reponses on News and Advance threatened Jr.'s life, and is in a little trouble.

what message board? The N&A one?

[SuperJon]

I'm so glad they released this publicly. That guy was a complete idiot.

[SuperJon]

what message board? The N&A one?

The guy commented on the article. It was kinda funny reading back through it yesterday after he was arrested.

I think it was the guy's third felony too.

what message board? The N&A one?

Yes...you so totally keep missing the obvious

[4everfsu]

I have seen Freedom on various N&A articles and you could tell he hated everything about LU. I would be laughing while reading his rants, I could imagine his BP going up. Could not have happened to a nicer guy.

[JDUB]

i'd love to have seen the look on his face when he opened the door and the police arrested him. what an idiot putting a death threat on a news website. pure genius

[TylerBakersGonnaBGreat]

I hope Shaq Arrested him! haha

[JDUB]

shaq isnt a cop anymore. he rapped too hardcore and lost his honorary sheriff thing

[Rooster Cogburn]

Read down on the article to the deedback, he's already posted another Stupid message!

OK Scratch that. It was there last night around 10pm, and now it appears to be gone. He wrote a Very long message on how the cops treated him bad and pointed their guns at him and took his comuter and he had to go buy a new one and all kinds of weird stuff. Then at the end he said it was all a joke and they were nothing but kind.

I read the feedback and basically all the townies have come out if force once again...Some people will always have a serious dislike for Jerry Falwell, his family. Liberty and TRBC and will probably carry that deep seated dislike (or hatred whichever you want to call it) to their dying day

[Cider Jim]

“i,m really concern for him and liberty because you are advocating WAR !!THIS IS WAR !!,” Mills wrote. “i hate to see people getting..."

But, he said, his online statement was made in the third-person and was not a direct threat.

“I’m not that stupid,” he said.

For the record, "i" and "i'm" ARE first-person pronouns, NOT third person, so I would disagree with his last statement about stupidity.

[rogers3]

I do read and occasionally post on N&A, and I have seen Freedom's rants before. The very first comment on the initial story contained a link to an after-death site the had a story about the man. http://www.near-death.com/forum/nde/000/31.html
I Googled his name and notice that he posts to quite a few news sources. One of them was regarding a story on mental illness, and Mills (aka Freedom) said some things that might make authorities view him as a potentially dangerous person. I wouldn't doubt if that hasn't been taken into account, considering the topic of the article- Why authorities should have taken Cho (VT shooter) more seriously. Click to view all 45 comments and Mills is in the middle of the pack. http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/w ... ment=true#

[JDUB]

you should see his rap sheet. wow. this may be his 3rd strike

[SuperJon]

It's not his third strike. It's his second. He wasn't convicted for the sodomy charge.

[JDUB]

oh ok.

[tinytim]

I understand that the city is being cautious over this matter. According to his posts, I didn't see any threat towards Jerry Jr. Correct me if I'm wrong.

[Cider Jim]

I saw in the paper today where the same guy was arrested for stalking a N&A reporter this week.

A Lynchburg man charged with threatening the life of Jerry Falwell Jr. has been arrested again after sending threatening e-mails to a reporter for The News & Advance.

Berkley Carter Mills, 56, of the 600 block of Reusens Road, was charged Tuesday with stalking and making threats of death or bodily injury by letter...The reporter, Chris Dumond, who had requested that Mills stop e-mailing him, received an e-mail sent by Mills around 3 a.m. Tuesday. The e-mail included comments such as:

- “what do i have to do ,,elude to some possible -ability that you will be BOMB,,like twin towers”
- “thus i dang your exsistance or do i save it” and
- “now here me carefully,,if i was jesus,,and WWJD,,i would (obscenity deleted) kill the #######,,before he killed me w/his kisss…”

sounds perfectly sane

I've hooked people up for the same exact thing. It's called terroristic threats and buys you a 72 hr eval from psych.

if not more.

[Kolzilla41]

Hopefully this makes the N&A website and all of the haters will know this guy is nuts... n-v-t-s nuts

[Chris Lang]

Yeah, it was an interesting day around the office yesterday, to say the least.
