"The intimidation of those in charge of carrying out free and fair elections in this country is against the law and cannot go unchecked," said U.S. Attorney Kurt R. Erskine for the Northern District of Georgia. "When someone threatens an election official working at any level of the voting process whether that be an elected office holder or a volunteer poll worker our democracy is put in jeopardy. We are grateful to all of those who endeavor to secure our elections and our democracy. We must protect them all."According to the indictment, on Jan. 5, 2021, Stark allegedly posted a message to Craigslist entitled, "Georgia Patriots it's time to kill [Official A] the Chinese agent - $10,000." The message stated:
"Georgia Patriots it's time for us to take back our state from these Lawless treasonous traitors. It's time to invoke our Second Amendment right it's time to put a bullet in the treasonous Chinese [Official A]. Then we work our way down to [Official B] the local and federal corrupt judges. It's our duty as American Patriots to put an end to the lives of these traitors and take back our country by force we can no longer wait on the corrupt law enforcement in the corrupt courts. If we want our country back we have to exterminate these people. One good loyal Patriot deer hunter in camo and a rifle can send a very clear message to these corrupt governors.. milita up Georgia it's time to spill blood. we need to pay a visit to [Official C] and her family as well and put a bullet her behind the ears. Let's be very clear to our local law enforcement who have stood down and watch BLM antifa destroy our country and kill our citizens yet you'll step up to stop Patriot supporters you'll enforce face mask and you'll close American businesses??? Remember one thing local law enforcement the key word being local.. we will find you oathbreakers and we're going to pay your family to visit your mom your dad your brothers and sisters your children your wife we're going to make examples of traitors to our country death to you and all you communist friends."
