JERSEY CITY, N.J. — A New Jersey blogger and former radio talk-show host has agreed to surrender to Connecticut authorities to face charges of inciting violence against two lawmakers there.

Harold “Hal” Turner of North Bergen waived extradition June 8 and posted $25,000 bail. He had been in custody since being taken into custody June 3 by North Bergen police at the request of the Connecticut State Capitol Police.

Connecticut authorities say they plan to charge him with inciting injury to persons or property.

Police there say the 47-year-old Turner, who holds far-right views, urged blog readers to “take up arms” against two Connecticut lawmakers, Sen. Andrew McDonald and Rep. Michael Lawlor, who introduced a controversial bill on Catholic parish finances.

Turner’s lawyer, Michael Orozco, says the case is about freedom of speech.

A posting dated June 2 on Turner’s blog, which is called Turner Radio Network, urged “Catholics in Connecticut take up arms and put down this tyranny by force.”

The post went on to declare, “It is our intent to foment direct action against these individuals personally. These beastly government officials should be made an example of as a warning to others in government: Obey the Constitution or die.”

Turner’s views have drawn scrutiny before. The FBI questioned him in 2005 after the mother and husband of U.S. District Judge Joan Humphrey Lefkow were found shot to death in Chicago.

In an interview with the Associated Press at the time, Turner said he was questioned because two years earlier he had said on his radio show that Lefkow “was worthy of being killed.” He was not charged in connection with the crimes.

Two years ago, local police beefed up security for four state Supreme Court justices whose addresses Turner revealed in his weekly Webcast “to show they can be gotten to.” Turner released the information after the court ruled that gay couples were entitled to the same rights as married couples. He was not charged with any crime.
