Officers search state Sen. Wiener's S.F. home for bombs after Sunday death threat
Uniformed officers with bomb-sniffing dogs searched the San Francisco home of state Sen. Scott Wiener following a written death threat filled with hate language.
The threat, which was full of sexual obscenities and a subject line stating “he will die today,” was emailed to members of Wiener’s staff. “We placed bombs in his office and his house,” it said. “You bastards all deserve to die.”
It was deemed a threat credible enough that it is being investigated by San Francisco Police Department and the California Highway Patrol.
“It’s scary, and definitely a first,” Wiener said late Sunday afternoon in response to the bomb threat. “I couldn’t go home for a few hours until the bomb-sniffing dogs left.”
But Wiener, a gay politician who has co-authored several pieces of legislation to protect the rights of gay and transsexual people and their families, also said that hate-filled rhetoric is aimed his way on a regular basis.
