- truspector, on 10/12/2007, -3/+73"We're looking at a threat as a possible angle," Lt. Pierce Gallagher said. "Certainly, we can't rule that out."
Is he stupid. I don't think a horse head galloped into her pool. - stou, on 10/12/2007, -2/+44Maybe the horse was sleeping in the bushes... and the gardener ran it over with the lawn mower... sending the head into the pool?
- illegalchuck, on 10/12/2007, -1/+24I found a dead pigeon on my walkway this morning. I think someone was trying to telling me that I'll be sleeping with the pigeons.

NOT SPAM!! - oGMo, on 10/12/2007, -5/+27And maybe some kids thought it would be a funny prank.
The title is *entirely* inaccurate. This is not "assumed" by any measure. Despite the reader's feelings about police in general, in this being handled much more professionally by Lt. Gallagher and very childishly by digg. Good investigators aren't going to just *assume* it's a Godfather-style threat, make a big deal to the press, and run around wildly flinging threats. (Leave that to smalltown cops vs zombies, and the RIAA.) There are lots of possibilities. They will investigate them.
Enough with the sensationalism. - mortem, on 10/12/2007, -0/+15They made her an offer she couldn't refuse
- SmeRndmGy, on 10/12/2007, -1/+15Well if you're gonna threaten someone, you might as well do it with some style.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+13@stou,
you should totally be a police detective - Spike3905, on 10/12/2007, -4/+13Was it Anne Coulter? She's always looked like a horse to me. And many people would have a motive.
- p0und, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9oh come on, I wanted some pics!
- kimastergeorge, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9"Maybe the horse was sleeping in the bushes... and the gardener ran it over with the lawn mower... sending the head into the pool?"
Or maybe it was sleeping with the fishes all along. - gjd131, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8The severed head in the movie was both, it wasn't just the fact that his horse was dead, it was the message that they wouldn't hesitate doing the same to him.
- Clbck, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8And not only would they not hesitate doing it, it was the fact that they could get in and do it with ease.
- kampfy, on 10/12/2007, -3/+10oGMo is right, it's absurd to assume that this was intended as a threat. Perhaps a pool cleaner was in the area and noticed that the councilwoman's pool was rather unclean and he wanted to notify her, but she wasn't home at the time and he didn't have any pen or paper and was in rather a hurry, so to get her to be more attentive to her pool cleanliness he just threw in the most noticable object he had readily available at the time, which just happened to be a horse's head. And that's the end of that chapter.
- bitcloud, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7So what was the message to this council woman?
"We can get to someone elses horse.. ahm.. elsewhere, and we can also get into just outside your backyard fence to as to throw a horse head in" - thewebguy, on 10/12/2007, -3/+9if i recall, the severed head in the movie wasn't a threat -- it was retaliation. the head was that of his most prized, talented, and expensive horse. right?
- acetv, on 10/12/2007, -2/+7I couldn't help but laugh at the NBC Video headline on the right:
"Jockey head-butts horse"
So tempted to install the software to watch that. - Heembo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Right, and you are all missing the best part of the movie: The owner of said horse woke up with the severed head in HIS BED with him, UNDER THE COVERS, blood and all.
Putting some little ninny horse head in the pool is SOO Sicilian-LIGHT. - bitcloud, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Your astrologer?
You'll meet a short dark feathered stranger with whom you'll become romantically entangled - jack56, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Photos have been released: (link at the top of the article)

(because who doesn't want to look at a dead horse head...) - thomasr05, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Dangit, now I am in the mood to watch the Godfather Part I & II again and will be saying Godfather quotes for the rest of the week now...
- WaterDragon, on 10/12/2007, -3/+6Or perhaps someone wanted to give her some fresh food for her dog, but they were so greedy that they kept the best cuts for their own dog (the rest of the horse).
- SlashNot, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3huh ironic, I just saw The Godfather for the first time today. crazy *****. Who the hell would do that?
- jack56, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3A slightly bizarre article on the subject from a local paper:
http://www.recordonline.com/archive/2006/07/26/news-omhorsehead-07-26.html?rss_NEWS - popezaphod, on 10/12/2007, -2/+4It's "Godfather" not "GodFather".
- sshack, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Where's the rest of the horse?
- geronimo, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3http://www.recordonline.com/archive/2006/07/26/news-omhorsehead-07-26.html?rss_NEWS
As the day went on, her hysterics gave way to anger. The stunt with the windshield wipers and the sex toy both happened at Wawayanda Town Hall, where Soro is the lone Democrat on the five-member Town Board.
Republicans promised to bring honor and integrity to the white house but they didn't talk about what they would bring outside Washington. Apparently they're bringing us sex toys and horse heads. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2More interesting stuff...
In the article jack56 posted above;
http://www.recordonline.com/archive/2006/07/26/news-omhorsehead-07-26.html?rss_NEWS
it says; "As the day went on, her hysterics gave way to anger. The stunt with the windshield wipers and the sex toy both happened at Wawayanda Town Hall, where Soro is the lone Democrat on the five-member Town Board."
Now a quick search on Wawayanda turns up this answers.com link;
http://www.answers.com/topic/wawayanda-new-york
where there are two more Democrats in the "Current Administration";
Town Board
Town Superviser: John Razzono, Republican
Councilman: Davey Cole, Republican
Councilwoman: Gail Soro, Democrat
Councilman: Ed Krajewski, Republican
Councilman: Rich Penaluna, Republican
Town Clerk: Teresa Pierce, Democrat
Highway Superintendent: Michael Green, Democrat
Apparently the other two Democrats previously left the Town Board and now Soros is the only democrat left.

- jack56, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2The horse head in the pool was a follow-up to sex toys stuck to her windshield.
Good old-fashioned local politics... - bennyboy371, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Where are the pictures? Come on, thats just too interesting.
They'd be creepy but I'd still look. - filovirus, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1RAAAAMONE, transport the rest of Barbaro to the Alpo plant.
- RyeBrye, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Is it just me or does that council woman look like she probably ate the rest of the horse for breakfast?
A horses head I could deal with... but if I ever saw HER in a pool, I would probably lose it.
(She's the second picture in the link... And the horse's head photo shows no blood at all...) - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Welcome back to digg.com COINTELPRO.
- keymastr, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1don't know about being bizarre, but it certainly was more informative than the article on MSNBC that was submitted. thanks for the link.
- ASoggyWaffle, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1ya the main thing here is that its not her horse and she didnt pay hundreds of thousands for it, and as the person above said it wasnt in her own bed
- MikeInMcchord, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I wonder if she told somebody, she was no band leader, and yeah, she heard that story.
;-) - puggy, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Khartoum!
- Heembo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Oh comon, watch the movies. Some little horsehead floating in the pool will just not do. It needs to first of all be a purebread champion, and you need to put the head in *the owners BED* for the proper Sicilian impact. Waking up with a horsehead in your pool is just Sicilian-LITE, no big deal!
- Clbck, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1@everyone who replied after me
We're not discussing this particular scenario, really. We were discussing the movie. - subscribtion, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1One word summary: owned.
- DasPope, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1insert family guy reference
- RyeBrye, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1The reason they used a horses head in the movie was because the person they were threatening OWNED THE HORSE and it was his PRIZED POSESSION. That fact seems to be lost on many people... Yes - the intimidation... etc. was there - but they didn't just think:
"Hmm... Let's cut the head off of a gigantic animal and put it in his bed. Oh darn - no Bison around... I guess this Horse will have to do..."
So since this horse wasn't the councilwomans horse - if this was some kind of copycat threat, the copycat didn't really understand the movie very well... - captjc, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1correction: pwned
- anelajett, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0Good luck maybe (she'll win by a nose...)?
- bitcloud, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1Another one solved siphowitz... I mean kampy...
Good job men, days not over, Nary shall i sleep a will while there's still reports of zombie terrorists and unarmed african americans all across this great country. - captjc, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1personally, I still believe in the grace and subtlety of Flamethrowers. Horse Heads are just soooo overused.
- everfalling, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1yeah, but a threat about what? what's the motive?
- Roger, on 10/12/2007, -6/+4So cruel...
- ultrasoul, on 10/12/2007, -5/+3The Corleone family shall rise again.
