Sarah Palin Granted Emergency Restraining Order Against 18-Year-Old Stalker

Looks like the Mama Grizzly is starting to cover her tracks – and with good reason. An Alaska court has granted Sarah Palin an emergency restraining order against Shawn R. Christy, an 18-year-old Pennsylvanian whom Palin characterizes thusly: “Bottom line is, he is crazy and could kill me. He wants me dead.”

That statement, from a court testimony that the AP reported late yesterday, stems from the numerous threats Christy has allegedly made to Palin. The Pennsylvania teen is said to have contacted her via phone and written letters (which, in these digital days, is a real sign of menace) and sent her a receipt of a gun he bought. Along with the proof of his purchase, he allegedly told her that he was buying a one-way ticket to Alaska. He is also reported to have written that he “is trying to follow God but has evil in him.”

Such disturbing allegations were enough for an Alaskan judge to issue “a 20-day restraining order, barring Christy from having any contact with Palin’s family and requiring him to stay at least a mile away from her Wasilla, Alaska, home.”

This highlights an emerging trend: the danger of being Sarah Palin. As we reported before, Esquire exposed the dangers of simply being named ‘Sarah Palin’, even in England. As midterms and, eventually, the 2012 political season near, and as political rhetoric reaches fever pitch, one can only assume that Sarah Palin will face more of this. Obama‘s presidential campaign came with an unusually early Secret Service detail, which began nine months prior to the Democratic primary. Palin’s potential 2012 may have to follow that lead.

Mama Grizzlies, Mama Grizzly, Sarah Palin, Stalker

I’m glad that she got the restraining order…this guy is obviously a mental nut.

Now…wait for the “He’s a typical violent lib” comments.

Well, here is the longer version of the story… kid is wacko and his parents not far behind for letting him get away with this crap even though they knew about it…

ould this be a result of the rights second amendment remedies?

The gun receipt was for a gun he SOLD. He sent it to her to prove he had no hostile intent.

Seriously, this reads like you copied from Palin’s press release. The Immoral Minority blog has this kids’ side of things and, as you might expect from all things Palin, he’s about as much of a stalker as Bristol is a dancer.

Palin says she is following God and she has evil in her. How is she different from her stalker?

What this is the result of, is an idiot kid doing something either really stupid or really dangerous, and getting caught. The responsibility is his and his alone.

tgk,
The funny thing is if a nut does something and has a Glenn Beck book on his bookshelf, it’s Beck’s fault. Can you explain that for me?

Fred Dicker needs to get a restraining order against that crazy Carl Paladino too.

There sure are a lot of violent lunatics out there!

Hey, can we start acting like the liberal lame stream media and start blaming Bill Mahr, Keith Olbermann, Schultz, Jeanne Devon of Huffington Post, and the real nut job, Andrew Sullivan for this guy who is threatening Sarah Palin?
I think they are responsible for this guy going wacky and doing this. Where is the rage? How dare they motivate this guy to threaten her? I hold them personally responsible.

So either you are a moron or the judge who issued the restraining order is a moron. I’m betting on you, since the judge would have seen the evidence, whereas you probably read some BS in the Daily Kos or Huff-Hoe.

Any man who threatens a woman is a bitch himself..period
Shawn Christy, come to so Cal, let’s see how much of a bad ass you Fu@king worm…

Guess he took the “Moosiah’s” advice and decided to ‘RELOAD’. I can’t believe the Pitbull Mamma Grizzley Bad Ass is a “Scardy Cat”. (Tea Hee)

It is better to be thought an idiot, then to comment and remove all doubt.

To Azarkhan: enjoy what’s left of the fall up there in Alaska. And while you do, here’s a link to another Alaskan who seems to know a lot more about this story than Mediaite does: http://preview.tinyurl.com/33dkwus

The baggers spread the fear, hate and violent history, and if this would have been a liberal that was being stalked, the baggers would say, this was a plant or never happened ! In the event this is true, even the ‘Queen of the crazies” should not be stalked !
