Cyanide in White House mail

The Intercept reports that a fellow nice enough to put his return address on a cyanide-laced letter has been doing this for a while – back to 1995. He has graduated from feces- and urine-soaked packages to deadly poisons;

β€œAn envelope containing an unknown milky substance, in a container wrapped in a plastic bag, received at the White House Mail Screening Facility, tested positive for Cyanide,” the alert states.

The mail was received at the screening facility on March 15. Initial biological testing done the following day was negative. On Tuesday, however, the chemical testing returned positive for cyanide.

The longer you let these deranged criminals get away with their antics, the more extreme and dangerous they get.

    So, it’s taken 20-some years for this guy to be taken seriously?

    He puts the substance in a container. He puts the container in a plastic baggie. He puts the baggie in an envelope. Yeah, I wonder what gave the mail-receiving facility its first clue that something might be amiss.

    Makes me wonder if the dude was just trying to share some grass man. Why the hassle?

    Looks like one of Psul’s employees wrote down the wrong address.

    Do the dumbass people that do this kind of thing honestly think that the President opens his own mail?

      Every year we have people that go to Area 51 and wait for aliens to land, and you ask a question like this?

        Silly people. We moved the aliens to a bunker on Ft. Huachuca years ago.

          Dammit. You could have shared that before I made this year’s reservation for Rachel, Nevada!

        I always thought the Area 51 hysteria was stupid. Area 51 is Groom Lake Airfield on the Nellis AFB complex, right? You can’t see most of the Nellis grounds from the fence, but you can see Groom Lake. So what Larsist failure of logic leads anybody to think that the Air Force would keep the really secret stuff where any random tinfoil-hatter can get a good look at it? Never could wrap my head around that stupidity.

    No brains, no pains, just a sore ass from Bubba to look forward too.

    What? Mailing feces isn’t protected speech? This isn’t america anymore! ;p

      Sure it is. The problem is the regulation regarding the mailing of food, specifically corn.

    I think we’ve found a guy dumber than Birdbath…maybe.

      They must be family.

    I wonder of the return address is in Oregon?

    Return address???!!! Really! As I say, there never runs out of new ways to spell STUPID.
