Charlie Carlson’s death threats
The other day we ran a “feel good story” about Charlie Carlson, a 75-year-old cancer patient who ended up killing young Gypsy Watt who, along with a 16-year-old accomplice, broke into Mr Carlson’s home to steal his pain medication. Chief Tango sends us an update to that story;
Now, the Pine County Sheriff says Carlson is the target of death threats from people who knew Watts.
Sheriff Robin Cole tells Eyewitness News they are already investigating one juvenile who is in jail on an unrelated offense and are waiting to hear if the Pine County Attorney will charge that juvenile with terroristic threats against Mr. Carlson.
Sheriff Cole says several other people, using social media sites, have made threats of harming Mr. Carlson, and says “we will hunt those people down and we will charge them with terroristic threats when we find them.”
Sheriff Cole says posting threats on the Internet has made it easier for investigators to find the perpetrators and gather evidence to possibly arrest them and charge them with terroristic threats.
I hope Washington Minnesota’s statute is a bit more toothy than Maryland’s and that their prosecutors take the law seriously. I’d encourage Gypsy’s pals to avoid Mr Carlson’s home since it appears to me that he has plenty of range time and ammo.

I hope Mr Carlson doesn’t suffer any violence for protecting himself and his property from that low life scum bag Gypsy Watt… Wish I was not clear across the other side of the country, I would plant my ass on Charlies front porch armed for hunting idiots wanting to play stupid human games.
I would be more than happy to split that shift with ya Airborne !
Pretty brave over Facebook, aren’t they?
Rather than arrest these punks, why not just have the sheriff pick them up and drop them off at Charlie’s house? We could see just how brave they really are, and the results will likely save the city & county a ton of money in prosecuting and jailing them. 🙂
Charlie says the threats don’t bother him. Good for Charlie! The pukes have failed, again, only this time one of them doesn’t have to die. Just the same, if one or more of them forces the issue, I’m sure Charlie will accomodate. Threats are stupid. Threats posted on FB are stupider.
Sounds like Gypsy’s stupid little pals want to get ventilated just like him. Morons.
If only these misguided children had something to do… Oh, wait, I keep forgetting that it’s the real world, not the dream world. And some woman named her boychild ‘Gypsy’? That’s a stripper’s name, for Pete’s sake.
Mr. Carlson is definitely a stalwart fellow. My kind of guy. Good aim, too. He certainly deserves better treatment than what these punks wanted to do.
And now their friends and relations are threatening him? Such trash they are.
Time to put bounties out on feral packs again. Whether they run on two or four feet.
Um, Jonn, it’s Minnesota, not Washington, and they do have teeth in the terroristic threat law.
As to the “utes” (H/T Joe Pesci) that are talking all tough on the interwebs; you can’t fix stupid.
F#ck Gypsy and his wanker pals….one dead and apparently several to go…it’s time we stop f#cking around with people who are known scumbags and are threatening to do bodily harm…grab ’em up and pound the living sh1t out of them…if that doesn’t get the message put a small caliber round behind the ear into the brain pan and bury the little b4stards in a cornfield…
@7 PH-2: when I was an NCO, I had a Marine private working for me whose first name was Diamond. I asked him one day how he got that name. He said that his momma thought that he shined like a diamond when he was born. I was afraid to ask him what his middle name was. He could have been one of “McNamara’s 100,000″…he wasn’t the brightest bulb in the box.
I shudder to think of the abuse his drill instructors rained down on him when they found out his first name. That was back in 1974 and that sort of thing was fair game in boot camp.
He probably shined while he was confined to the brig, too. After I was transferred, he got caught in the barracks with a good-sized bag of reds and greens. Oops.
Nice to know that the Darwin Principle has taken Gypsy out of the gene pool.
