We just reported the father and son stalking duo of Craig and Shawn Christy were indicted by a federal grand jury in Anchorage, Alaska and arrested by the FBI in Pennsylvania.
Kelly over at Barbaric Thoughts has been keeping watch on these people for some time and reports:
I’ve been popping into the Facebook pages of these two from time to time just to see what crazy stuff they’ve come up with lately. The father is more nuts than the son. He thinks that Palin is in love with his son, that she built her home in Tucson for her and Shawn and not her and Todd. He’s also said that the Palins tried to kill him in PA as he was chopping wood in March of 2009. The latest crazy idea they came up with is that Willow has autism
Bear in mind, these Facebook posts are from the FATHER, not the son. He is most certainly is as crazy as the son, and the son has threatened to rape and kill Sarah, her daughters, as well as one of Sarah's oldest friends, who like Sarah, has a federal restraining order against the family.
This may be what triggered the action by the FBI:
Again, this is the father, NOT the son.
On April 27, Craig Christy left this comment on our blog:
Ask Sarah to explain why she announced she was leaving office on 7-3-09 one hour after my son Shawn Christys psych evaluation with the Secret Service.He was mentally sound to testify about their sexting affair in Feb-March 2009.Facebook Stand Strong Shawn Christy.
You know when the United States Secret Service is evaluating your metal stability you've crossed over into another dimension. What troubles me is the fact mother Karen was not arrested and remains at large. She is just as crazy as her husband and son, and just as dangerous.

We've reported on the Christy family before. The son, Shawn, is incredibly disturbed, and besides claiming to have had a "sexting affair" with Governor Palin, he's also threatened to rape and kill not only Sarah Palin, but her daughters, and even one of her best friends.
This has been a going on since the 2008 election season was over. As we have written, this is a family affair, with mom and dad actively involved in harassing the Palin family, along with their friends. Though we've not published them, choosing to archive them instead, Craig Christy, Shawn's father, has left comments on our website. These people are delusional and quite dangerous. You can read our take here.
Today The Washington Post reports the father Craig and son Shawn were placed under arrest by the FBI after the pair was indicted by a federal grand jury in Alaska.
ALLENTOWN, Pa. — The FBI said Thursday that a Pennsylvania man and his son were arrested on charges of harassing Sarah Palin’s family and lawyers.
Craig Christy and his son, Shawn Christy, were placed under arrest at the FBI office in Allentown. The pair were indicted by a federal grand jury in Alaska on Wednesday.
They are accused of harassing members of the former Alaska governor’s family as well as her attorneys and employees of the law firm. Palin, the 2008 Republican vice presidential nominee, is also a possible presidential candidate.
A magistrate in Alaska had previously issued restraining orders against both men.
Karen Christy, Craig Christy’s wife and Shawn’s mother, said in a telephone interview Thursday the family has been persecuted by the Palins and law enforcement officials for more than two years.
They contend Sarah Palin had a sexting relationship with the teen in 2009.
"All of these things have been happening to my family, and the police and the FBI and the federal agents don’t seem to (care) ... about going after Sarah Palin because she’s a big political figure," Karen Christy told The Associated Press.
Palin has said she feared Karen and Craig Christy because she says they wrongly believe she had a sexting relationship with the teen two years ago. Recordings of telephone calls made to Palin’s attorney by Shawn Christy are peppered with profanity-laced tirades and vows to continue calling nonstop.
Karen Christy said Craig and Shawn were invited to the FBI office for an interview and were taken into custody.
The family, which lives in McAdoo, Pa., does not have an attorney.
It comical to hear Karen Christy talking about "persecution." These people have been in court numerous times, and have restraining orders against them. What part of "you brought all of this on yourself, you moron" doesn't this mentally disturbed woman get?
I've never seen a stalker family before. This is beyond comprehension. When I first learned of this, I thought this all might be another stunt the ankle-biters in Alaska are famous for, but over the years I've been convinced these people actually believe what they are saying, as insane as it is, and the parents, Craig and Karen are just as crazy as the son, Shawn.They are a clear and present danger.
Death threats against anyone should never be tolerated, period. What this family has done has shown they have intended to carry them out. Here's to hoping these two spend a significant time in federal prison, and the mom gets the mental health care she so desperately needs.

We've talked about Shawn Christy before. This guy is certifiable, and as we reported, so is his family. Christy lives in a fantasy world where he believes he and Governor Palin had some sort of "intimate relationship" and his crazy family goes along with this. I've even had Christy's father, Craig, send me insane messages about Secret Service cover-ups after I wrote about this nonsense.
Christy has threatened to kill Sarah, rape and kill her daughter, as well as Sarah's good friend, Kristan Cole. He's sent both Sarah and Kristan violent threats, and was even harassing Kristan's kids on Facebook. Again, Christy's mother and father were in on this, and sent messages of their own.
All three of these people belong in a facility for the criminally insane.
Kelsey at Barbaric Thoughts has the latest on these loons.
Recordings of telephone calls made to Sarah Palin’s attorney by a 19-year-old Pennsylvania man accused of stalking the former Alaska governor are peppered with profanity-laced tirades and vows to continue calling nonstop.
In one recording, Shawn Christy of McAdoo, Pa., tells Palin’s lawyer: "You want to play games, you wanna play little court games, well play games, now come on .. Come on! Let’s play games as far as you want it to go on!"
The recordings have been submitted with a motion by attorney John Tiemessen asking a state magistrate in Alaska to deny a request to dissolve a restraining order against Christy.
The motion says Christy’s father, Craig Christy, also has made multiple calls to his office. One of the calls is included in the filing.
"There is really not sufficient punctuation on a standard keyboard to express the seething, spitting, splenic, paranoid, bat-guano crazy rage that is encapsulated on the audio," Tiemessen wrote in the document filed late Tuesday. "None of these calls advance resolution of this matter. They only reinforce that the Christies are a disturbed, obsessed and delusional set of individuals who can not be trusted to behave in a minimally socially acceptable manner on the telephone."

Shawn Christy disputes involvement in a letter threatening Palin’s teenage daughter Willow that was submitted as evidence against him earlier this year.
The letter, consisting of cut-and-paste words, says that if Palin didn’t announce by the non-existent date of April 31 that she would not run for office, "you will be cleaning Willows brain cells off your clothes." It is signed "Hollow Point" and mailed from southeastern Pennsylvania, which the Christys say is nowhere near McAdoo. They also say the handwriting on the envelope is nothing like Shawn Christy’s, who submitted copies of the letter and envelope, along with a letter he wrote to Palin in the past to compare hand writing.
"I demand evidence be submitted to the United States Secret Service for further investigation, to prove my innocence, and I demand a retrial," Shawn Christy wrote in his request.
His mother, Karen Christy, told The Associated Press that the phone calls to Tiemessen reflect the deep frustration the family feels over the letter her son is accused of sending and their inability to find who has the original. In one of the recordings, Tiemessen said he sent the original to the Anchorage office of the FBI, but declined to identify what agent had it, saying he didn’t know. The FBI won’t confirm possession of the letter, Karen Christy said. She believes the letter weighed heavily in extension of the restraining order against her son.
"No one has yet to prove that Shawn wrote that letter and no one has been able to produce the original letter," she said. "Until something is proven that Shawn did it, I don’t see how they can hold that against him."
Craig Christy just mailed a request to get the restraining order against him resolved as well, according to Karen Christy.
Tiemessen told the AP in an email that after the court’s May decision, "Karen Christy promised that her family would not contact us anymore." That promise was short-lived, Tiemessen said.
"The Christys claim that they just want to be left alone," he said. "They have the power to make that happen. The fact that they continue on this self-destructive path suggests an unfortunate and potentially dangerous alternative desire."
These people are definitely "disturbed" and most certainly dangerous.
Kelsey has much more, including some screen captures of Facebook postings from both Shawn and Craig. In her investigation, she also discovered that Shawn is a big supporter of Michele Bachmann. My advice to Bachmann is: Get plenty of security.
