An anti-abortion activist has been arrested after allegedly making threats on Sir Elton John’s life.
 
Neal Horsley is currently being held in jail in Atlanta, Georgia following his arrest this week. He was taken into custody by the police fugitive squad and members of the U.S. Marshal's office and charged with making terrorist threats, criminal defamation and using the Internet to disseminate threats.
 
The man, who apparently plans to run for governor of Georgia, was outraged when the singer suggested Jesus Christ was gay in a Parade magazine interview in February, and he wrote an angry online response, entitled Why Elton John Must Die.
 
A viral video, which appeared on YouTube.com, also featured footage of Horsley holding an “Elton John Must Die” sign outside the star's Peachtree Road home in Atlanta.
 
This is not the first time Horsley has been in trouble for misusing the Internet. In 2002 a federal appeals court judge ruled his online condemnation of abortion doctors featured illegal threats.

Sounds like an extremist crank to us…
