Ricin Tainted Letter Sent to Senator and Possibly the President
An anonymous reader writes "A letter addressed to Senator Roger Wicker (R-Mississippi) was tested and found to contain ricin, a highly toxic, inexpensive, and easily produced substance derived from castor beans. The letter was intercepted at the U.S. Capitol's off-site mail facility and nobody has been injured. The letter was postmarked Memphis, Tennessee, but listed no return address. Sen. Claire McCaskill told reporters that a suspect has been identified."
And, this morning, a letter addressed to the President was discovered containing a suspicious substance. Update: 04/17 16:25 GMT by U L : And the substance is ricin. Apparently, air filters at another facility have also tested positive for ricin.
Is a waste of human flesh and should never be trusted. She is a prime example of what is wrong with the Federal Government.
This guy has to be on the inside, at Slashdot Inc.
When Fascism comes to America, it will call itself Anti-Fascism, and tell you to give up your guns.
Oh, shut the fuck up.
If we could create legislation that could keep unstable people from bombs, we would. Since we can with guns, we will.
Which perfectly makes the point that background checks don't go far enough. Until the right to own a firearm is licensed, similarly to the right to drive a vehicle, we'll continue to have shootings like those in Aurora, Colo., and Newtown, Conn.
!#@%*)anks for hanging up the phone, dear.
Who knows but our president may have no moral scruples so if faced with someone demanding something under the threat of violence. I could see him completely not caring or thinking up ways to spin it to his own agenda anyway.
Of all the things I have heard about our current president he is not a "Nice, family guy". He is a politician and a puppet. He rubs elbows with very evil people and routinely visits and has meetings with them. He does not care about American values. He doesn't care if you specifically are anything. He wants either power, the status quo, or to protect something he does care about.
Guess what its not you, OR those families in Boston. Thats what I believe anyway. Many more do I'm sure. The dood cares more about what energy company gets pork then what happens to us all.
