Threatening letter leads to evacuation of City Hall
Four judges at courthouse also receive threats

March 16, 2010
A spate of threatening letters - some containing bullets and white powder - have been delivered to Baltimore City Hall and the city circuit courthouse in recent days, prompting a joint investigation by city police and U.S. Postal inspectors.

City Hall was evacuated for about 40 minutes Monday afternoon after a clerk opened a letter containing white powder that police later determined to be harmless, said police spokesman Anthony Guglielmi.

Four letters, including at least two with bullets enclosed, also were sent to judges at the Clarence M. Mitchell Jr. courthouse on Friday and Monday, authorities said.

2. Nah, Probably just somebody upset over being out bid on Dixon's Xbox.
I've heard those eBayers can get pretty radical.

3. Wonder if Vegas would even take odds on the person being a Tea Bagger?
Hopefully the arrest report and news accounts will detail the numerous Beck, Hannity and Coulter "best sellers" on their shelf.

But the best part is knowing how often these domestic terrorists are a part of Freak Republic means that every time one of these headlines shows up, Ribjob has to frantically go through his whole pitiful attempt to fleece the ignorant website and try to match postings with perpetrators so that things can be scrubbed before being too embarrassing.
