And now we have some more ricin tainted letters...

[Distind]

In an online comment on an Elvis blog post in 2007, a Kevin Curtis complained that several Elvis contests in several states "were rigged with hosts and judges getting kick-backs." The signature was: "This is Kevin Curtis and I approve this message."

So......do we ban Elvis now?

Only if someone is throwing elviss at people. Or perhaps if they're using them as a launch platform. Just strap some rockets to his crotch and let one go with each thrust.

More seriously, one more fucking time of this and I'm going to start running up the don't be a dick rule. The prick attacked with ricin, something people are already on the look out for and have plans to deal with which is illegal to own. Because of that we keep records of just who may have the materials to create it, or access to it's existing supply. Which likely had a great deal to do with catching this guy.

It appears the caught the Ricin guy!

Some weirdo with a thing for Elvis Presley. Likely no relation to the Boston bombings.

I wonder if he could send one of those to Stephen Conroy? That would be most helpful.

As for the topic at hand... yeah I really doubt they're related. Just a very big coincidence. And unlike Gibbs from NCIS, I do believe in coincidence. Alternatively, people working together and they each had different jobs. Whichever.

That is a beautiful mental image

I think this is one of those "Dude, not funny" moments.

I'm seeing sources saying the guy is a Democrat Christian, at least from what I saw on a friend's Facebook post. I've seen other comments saying he's a conservative.

Speak for yourself.

That site linked to is a tea asshat advertising bonanza. The Elvis Freak is a psycho, so his politics don't mean too much, liberal or conservative. The bombers might even turn out to be lefty - who knows yet? They are all just nasty little murderous cowards that usually live under the bathroom rug of society. I wish they would all go crawl back under there and leave the rest of us Americans alone.

genuinely curious, could someone explain the reactions over chitorius' comment? i didn't get it, but it seemed pretty bad, seeing the reactions. cultural meme?

also, distind, i didn't get your message either: will you /ban people who say that, or will you be breaking that rule you're so mad?

(forgive me, but right now, how do i english?)

The answer can be found in both the Gun Fetishism and Giffords' husband buys semi-auto threads in the F&B section.

Only if it's young, hot, 1950's Elvis.

Fat be-jumpsuited Elvis...no so much (Now, I need brain bleach!).

Update: Suspect has been released

Lawyer says he was set up. Here comes the speculation and conspiracy theories.

[Sleepy]

Charges have been dropped. Looks like the guy was innocent.

Looks like they've indicted someone else named J. Everett Dutschke.
