Charges Dropped Against Elvis Impersonator Accused Of Sending Ricin To President Obama

 

Charges have been dropped against Memphis, Tennessee Elvis impersonator, Paul Kevin Curtis, who was arrested for allegedly sending the poison ricin to U.S. President Barack Obama, via the U.S. mail. The FBI made an error in detaining him, accusing him of said crime.

His attorney spoke about the incident ruining his life, as someone is said to have imitate him in the ricin laced letters. Once again, the FBI got it wrong (The FBI Under Scrutiny For Failing To Act On Tip Two Years Ago About Boston Marathon Bomber).

America In Chaos: Boston Marathon Bombing, MIT Police Officer Killed, 15 Dead In Texas Plant Explosion

America is experiencing one of the most turbulent weeks in its history. The vicious Boston Marathon bombings that killed 3, a security guard at MIT being murdered last night and 15 dead in an explosion at a fertilizer plant near Waco, Texas, the site of another terrible tragedy regarding the Branch Davidians.

People need to take stock and reflect, understanding that violence solves nothing. No philosophy or ideology is cause or excuse to take the lives of other human beings. No one wins when people are killed. People need to find peaceful ways to coexist.

Elvis Impersonator Arrested For Sending Obama Deadly Ricin In The Mail

Elvis impersonator, Paul Kevin Curtis, has been arrested by authorities for mailing U.S. President Barack Obama the deadly poison ricin in a letter. U.S. Senator Roger Wicker was also mailed a letter containing ricin. Both missives stated, "To see a wrong and not expose it, is to become a silent partner to its continuance" and was signed "I am KC and I approve this message." And no, Elvis would not approve this message.

President Obama Sent Deadly Letter Containing The Poison Ricin

U.S. President Barack Obama was sent a letter, whose destination was the White House in Washington, containing the deadly poison ricin. The letter was sent through the U.S. mail from Memphis, Tennessee and post dated April 8, 2013. The dangerous item was detained at a mailing facility and did not make it to the president's office. A similar letter was sent to member of Congress, Senator Roger Wicker.

Both letters read, "To see a wrong and not expose it, is to become a silent partner to its continuance" and were signed "I am KC and I approve this message." A few granules of ricin can kill a human being in a matter of days. The matter is being investigated by the Secret Service. 

It is worth noting, around the time of the September 11th terrorist attacks, letters containing ricin were mailed to members of Congress as well. The ricin laced letters sent this month on April 8, 2013, arrived close to the time of the Boston Marathon bombings, revealing a similar pattern of criminal conduct. Thus far, the government has announced no suspects in the case and no terrorist organization has claimed credit for the heinous attack on Boston.
