2 Has anyone found positive proof of Ricin on the letters yet?
No really.
All I heard first was initial tests followed by some inconclusive tests.
If this guy writes a lot of letters and there's a high "false positive rate" is it possible he just got screwed by chance and an over reaching police force?

3 People suck.

4 I wonder how much he'll sue for.

5 Just because you're crazy doesn't mean they aren't out to get you. Also, was he actually charged or was he just being held in connection with the investigation? Because those aren't the same thing.

So the guy gets added to a Federal Watch List for caring about his voice in Government. That'll show him.

No high tech lab like Anthrax needed. Time to ban caster beans if one can make deadly toxin by just grinding them. And just how toxic are the grinds. When pure it take a grain the size of a salt but if it was crude you might considerably more. It would leave a huge mess that you most likely poison yourself when making a sandwich as you missed a drop of powder on the table.

80 I remember having to talk my daughter down off the ledge after her second child was born and tested positive for some birth defect. I said, 'Call you back in five.' I then found out they had something like ten times as many false positives as actual cases. I told her I liked the odds and calmed her down. As the test was mandated by the state I got really pissed. Tens of thousands of new parents had to go through the nightmare of waiting for the results of a second test. I won't mention the state with the fat f*ck RINO Gov this was located.

They claimed at various points that a few different government scientists were responsible for it. One died before anything came of it and another, who ended up getting a job in my area and claiming government harassment, sued the government and won millions over being named as a "person of interest" without enough evidence to support it.

The vast majority of arrests and convictions are based on circumstantial evidence.  In this case, the fact that the letters contained a tag-line used by the guy in the past meant that he was definitely linked to the letters (though apparently the link is that someone's trying to frame him).  And his mental state means that something like this is somewhat more believable than if "average guy" was fingered for it instead.

132 Well, now it's clear....it was the Joooos!

133 Is this just an LEO fuckup (or convenient facsimile)?

They got a tentative positive on the letters (supposedly), saw a "KC" on them, looked up people with those initials who live near the letters' origin, showed the Senator's staff their list of K.C.s, somebody said "That one's familiar," and Elvis was arrested and charged.

Compared to the average investigation, that's a Sherlock Holmes story.

The thing that was supposed to happen and didn't is the part where the terrified prisoner "cracks under interrogation" and confesses to every open case in town.

Let's look at the facts first:  You have yet to post a single original thought at Ace of Spades.  Ever.  I chose to strap on a flag and a weapon after graduating from college and came home decorated.  I pay my own bills, take care of my people and am a net gain to my community.  There goes 'submissive' and 'loser.'

Now, let's get into some opinions:  Coming in here with the sole purpose of stirring the pot, picking fights and being a general pain in the ass is childish and weak.  You've not swayed a single individual on a single topic, and even with this knowledge, you continue to leave comments which are the equvilant of keying cars and leaving flaming bags of shit on front porches. 

You leave nothing of value and provide nothing but annoyance, poll-tested phrases and worn out, debunked arguments. 

You're a seagull at an otherwise glorious beach, just waiting for someone to toss you some Alka-Seltzer. 

145 While likely innocent, the article mentions that they searched his house for any signs of manufacture.  That doesn't mean that he didn't have a secret blender stashed somewhere so that he could go there and grind himself up some ricin.  There's still a chance for the FBI to double-screw-up this case.

146 136 oblig., How often have I used that little pearl of wisdom: 'Ricin Elvis: not a pussy.'

147 Very off topic..... but speaking of professional douchenozzles....

My newer to me Silverado with only 26k in mileage was stolen ..... then promptly crashed and totaled.

As of today ..... Im sporting a new to me GMC Sierra with comparables miles.


Im inconvenienced for a week. The 20 year old white rap wigger wannabe thug has two felony charges filed with more pending. And he's 2mos into a 2 year probation sentence. Im thinking he's going to State for a bit.

Actually a rather slender good looking kid. Im sure he'll make lottsa friends.

Good time to send the local prison guards donuts.  You might be surprised.

148 Is Ace asleep?

149 I just overheard the most ignorant two fuckers at lunch discussing the gun bill being voted down. It was peppered with "Bill Maher said" and "that's why Jon Stewart says." In two adjacent sentences, one guy claims that the Republican senators voted it down because they wanted to get reelected and were afraid of the NRA, and also that "90% of the American public was in favor of this bill." These two would make fine Democrats. Unteachable because it's not that they're just mistaken about a certain fact or event - NOTHING they think they understand about events, our founding documents, our society, basic human nature or logic is correct or factual. This is what our country faces. A terminally ignorant, motivated voting class. They're not just ignorant, they're ignorant as hard as they can. They can vote. America is doomed. Sorry.

why is sending raisins illegal? Raisins are a great food. Little, teeny, tiny, shriveled grapes. You can stick them in stuff too. Like cookies. But tell people cause if they are expecting a chocolate chip and get a raisin they get mad. real mad. maybe people don't like getting surprise raisins in the mail either. maybe this guy sent raisins to someone who didn't like 'em. That'll get you arrested. Illegal raisin mailings.

Lockdown in a major city, SWAT raids of regular folks looking for one man that the FBI could not be bothered to track. 

One.  Man.  For this, Boston was locked down, a city of at least 700,000 men, women, and children.

Lord forbid that it was a dozen, or a hundred.  Lord forbid that they were actually well-armed and trained, as opposed to being an idiot kid with some homemade explosives.  Look at what damage these two incompetent bastards were able to do, the chaos they caused, and then THIS is inflicted upon the citizenry to catch them? 

Incompetence, idiocy, and failure abound at the leadership levels here.  This is beyond parody. 

And through it all, the common folk in these cities are unarmed at the insistence of the government.

The guy's...  interesting...

 

iirc, he's been complaining about bias by the press in support of liberals.  iirc, he wrote something about the fact that the press has essentially ignored some known nude pics of Obama's mother, but would have gone into a feeding frenzy if something like that had existed for Romney's mother.

 

So while he's a Dem, and he's clearly not entirely stable, he's also not drinking the same Kool-Aid as the other libs.

First, and most important, I hate you both. Secondly, story time! So. At my old office, I was the first step IT person so whenever we had server issues, I went back to check on them before we called the outside IT people. One day, a couple of servers were down for no apparent reason so I decided to start with step one: are they plugged in. There were other people in the server room with me because idefk. I'm wedged in behind the server rack when I very calmly said "Hey, guys? Remember when the pest control people were here and said we didn't have rats? They lied." I get "oh okay" in response at which point I began yelling "Get me out and get me a box!" The lackwits with whom I worked were all calm down why do you need a box. Apparently, I was being too subtle about the whole there was a rat hissing at me thing.

----------------------------

Don't get me wrong.  I'd never call the guy a brother in arms.  Just because a guy agrees with you on a high profile issue doesn't mean that he should be hand-waved through on everything else (as I used to remind people when Joe Leiberman was a topic of conversation).

 

But he does have some legitimate complaints about the current state of affairs.  And despite the fact that he's a Democrat, those complaints could, theoretically, lead someone as unbalanced as him to try to poison the President.

 

That doesn't appear to have actually been the case (which I'm kind of happy about, actually), but there's enough there to reasonably think that it's possible.

 

216 Yeah, that white stuff you see in chicken shit? Thats jwest. Just thought you might like to know.

Sounds perfectly reasonable to me.

Btw, totally laughing with you, not at you.

So story time for me. I've been told this one a thousand times. So pretty much everyone in my family has a serious issue with snakes. My dad was a kid and one night he, my grandparents and my grandfather's best friend are sitting at the table just shooting the shit when "OMFG a snake!!!!!!!!" My grandmother and my dad are rushed to the bathroom where the door is shut and a towel shoved in at the bottom. My grandfather and his friend are walking around up on the counter tops trying to see where the snake is in the kitchen. It's up against the cabinet. "Now what are we going to do?" "I got it." and grandpa's best friend pulls out a revolver and is, very shakily, pointing it in the general direction of the snake. In a kitchen with tile floors and tile countertops. "FUCK NO BOBBY!!! Stop!!! Jesus man, you'll kill us all!"

They eventually managed to use a broom to shoo the deadly garden snake out the door.

218 >Does Bolling AFB have a golf course? Posted by: Knave at April 23, 2013 02:52 PM (cipri) No. King Putt goes to Andrews.

At one company I worked for, a 100k sq ft warehouse with about 60 employees on the network was shut down for hours because someone plugged an air compressor into the same plug as the router. Popped breakers on the AC circuit AND the router itself. The IT guys found the popped breaker when they were halfway through replacing the router.

237 What just happened? I suddenly feel the overwhelming compulsion to "give up".

238 Not.

239 It probably had riceroni in there.  The other San Franciso treat.  Not to be confused with the San Francisco Threat.

I've had that one before.  Someone unplugged a line from a PC that wasn't being used and plugged it into a laptop.  Got done and plugged it back into the wall.  You would think that you could remember where a line came from especially when you've been told 1,000 times not to unplug a line from the wall.
