Arrest Made in Ricin-Laced Letters Case

[Content Note: Terrorism intent to harm.]An arrest has been created within the situation of ricin-laced letters addressed to Leader Obama and Senator Roger Wicker of Mississippi. Paul Kevin Curtis of Tupelo, Miss., was taken into custody of the children by federal agents last evening.His motivation continues to be not totally obvious: It certainly is not partisan politics, as Obama's a Democrat and Wicker is really a conservative Republican. But apparently Curtis has published pictures of guns and professional-gun/anti-reform material on his Facebook page, therefore it might be associated with his sights on guns.I wish to observe that local police force have told media that Curtis is thought to possess some mental health problems. While acknowledging that information, I should also underline that, when the report is definitely accurate, mental illness might be considered a adding step to Curtis' crime. It's rarely as easy as "he's crazy, so he did this dangerous factor," and let's be responsive to that reality within this space.
