Stay away from Seattle gay bars for awhile!

That's nuts!

 

Beans, actually, but close enough.

There'll always be psychos. And yes, gay bars will always be a target. It's horrible, but all we can do is catch these people and make sure we're secure. I'm not even convinced this guy has it, he's more likely to be a nutcase who wants to scare us.

 

I really don't see how the crime can be carried out though.
He'd need to have an accomplice at each and every bar to drug the drinks.
Besides, if the bars started to work together, they could identify guests who come and then compare who visited and around what time.
If the person visited each bar the people would put the obvious together and figure out that it's him.

Anyways, that's very scary and just plain sick.

Which reminds me... a gay disco here in Bremen is/was (I'm not too sure) under investigation for man-slaughter.

 

I'm sure the person who is threatening this will be caught, they mentioned getting the FBI involved which is good and makes me confident that the situation will be handled professionally and swiftly, well at least i hope it will

 

I remember watching this on the news. It seems as though somebody is just trying to scare people.

 

that means each bar has to take photos of ts customers and put it on something which theother bars could see. there could be alot of guests ...

 

I kinda got that vibe too. If he was actually gonna do it and try and kill people why would he warn them?

 

That's the thing with ricin, he doesn't need to. And about him actually having it... it is moderately possible. Ricin isn't hard to get -- the plant is a common ornamental plant and the refinement process is very easy and widely described (I'm right now reading US patent 3,060,165 on preparation of ricin - the text describes the process in a few easy steps anyone with basic chemistry knowledge can follow)

Ricin is toxic if inhaled, injected or ingested, with a lethal dose of about 500 micrograms (about the size of a grain of salt) if the exposure is through injection or inhalation. There is no known antidote (although a vaccine has been developed by the US military, it's unlikely to be provided to end users)

 

I'm not talking about obtaining it

I'm talking about distributing it.

 

Well - due to its extreme toxicity (it's orders of magnitude more toxic than cyanide) it would imply a single drop of it into a drink, or poking someone with a needle covered in it, or to throw it in powder form in a closed space (that would require about 4 grams per square meter, for 50% lethality)... it is not hard because of the minute amounts required for effectiveness.

In fact, the main problem with ricin for an inexperienced killer would be getting poisoned himself.

 

Wow
Miscommunication much...?

What I mean is how would the killer distribute the poison to all 11 of the gay bars on the same Saturday night...

Haha
Sorry I didn't make myself clear enough.

 

He'd have to go to 11 gay bars. Supposing that he's 30 minutes in each, it would take him 5 hours and a half... a single night. That is actually the easiest part.

Plus, if he's young, someone will invite him with a drink. That's the way it is, sadly... younger boys particularly are "fresh meat". :S

 

Wow.. That's really freaky.

Hopefully it's a hollow threat.. But being oblivious to it won't do anything.

 

Probably to ruin the buisness. Death threats to customers would scare the shit out of me.

 

Duude
That would scare the fuck outta me

It sounds like something that would be on like the closer or csi or.... Some show like that ya know


I saw this thing on dateline about this guy who like killed his wife sawed her up and got rid of all the parts that would identify her if she was found
He learned what they look for from those csi type shows

It was creeeepy

 

This is awful, I sure hope they find the guy who wrote that letter and put him in jail.

 

This thread is like 8 months old o.o

 

Oh wow, it is an old thread.

What a freken crazy godknowswhattocallhim. SOMEONE needs to see a shrink...

 

*sigh* Another necro bump.

Sad part is: I remember when this thread was made ._.
