A Georgia man who posted footage of himself on the Internet holding a sign that said "Elton John must die" has been arrested for making terroristic threats.
Neal Horsley was arrested early Wednesday in Carrollton, about 50 miles west of Atlanta, said Atlanta Police Sgt. Curtis Davenport. He would not say who the man is accused of threatening, but Horsley's son, Nathan, said he thought it was connected to the clip about the musician.
In the video posted last month on YouTube, Horsley held the sign in front of a building where he said Elton has a condo.
Neal was upset Elton had told Parade magazine that he thought Jesus was a "compassionate, super-intelligent gay man who understood human problems."
"What Elton John has done is desecrated the image of the Lord Jesus Christ, blasphemed the Lord Jesus Christ," the 65-year-old said in the video.
Horsley founded the Creator's Rights Party and has declared himself a candidate in the 2010 governor's race. He kicked off his campaign during the summer of 2008 in downtown Carrollton, wearing a placard showing the head of an aborted fetus while singing an anti-abortion song. In fact, he established a Web site divulging the names and addresses of doctors who performed abortions.
The state ethics commission, which oversees election filings, has no record of his campaign.
He is currently being held on $40,000 bond.
