COLORADO SPRINGS - A man is now facing charges of Felony Menacing after police say he threatened to cut off the heads of two women because they were Christians.

The encounter happened at 711 Tia Juana around three o'clock in the morning Friday. Police say Russell Bowman, who claims to be an atheist, had made the threat on September 8th.

Police say Bowman made his way to the females' apartment with a knife Friday. A local neighbor approached Bowman with a shotgun in the women's defense, according to police reports. When Bowman refused to drop his weapon, the neighbor hit him with the butt-end of the shotgun. Bowman suffered serious injury to his eye and was transported to Memorial Hospital. Doctors determined the damage to the eye was so severe that it needed to be surgically removed.

Ah man...hope they don't charge the dude protecting those women. Keep us posted if anything else shows up about this case. I mean, why the hell would he care what their religion is? Was he mentally ill or what??

As far as I know, he isn't mentally ill. One article I read stated that alcohol was involved...big surprise. Every news article I find on this guy is almost an exact copy of the last one I read. I'll be keeping an eye on this one and searching for a mug.
