Another suspect arrested in ricin letter terror

| April 27, 2013

Apparently, Everett Dutschke, was arrested after the Elvis impersonator, Paul Kevin Curtis was released. There was some kind of giant karate-nerd slap fight going on between them and Dutschke set up Curtis according to the Clarion-Ledger earlier in the week;

In court on Monday, FBI Special Agent Brandon Grant said Dutschke appears to have agreed to publish Curtis’ book, “Missing Pieces,” at some point. When he apparently didn’t, the two began to exchange emails “about who is the biggest liar,” according to the Daily Journal. Curtis’ parents also emailed Dutschke to tell him to back off.

LA Times reports today;

Everett Dutschke, 41, was arrested about 12:50 a.m. Saturday at his Tupelo home in connection with the letters, FBI spokeswoman Deborah Madden said. The letters, which allegedly contained ricin, were sent last week to President Barack Obama, Sen. Roger Wicker of Mississippi and earlier to an 80-year-old Mississippi judge, Sadie Holland.

It looks like Dutschke might be a Republican, so there you go – that right wing terrorism thing that we’ve been warned about. I only say that because he ran against the son of Judge Sadie Holland (a target of one of his letters), Steve Holland who is a Democrat, so the math tells me that Dutschke might be a terrorist of the Republican variety – or just a nut with an axe to grind.

The media ignored Curtis’ political affiliation, I’m sure they’ll do the same with Dutschke./sarc. Sure, I can’t imagine Don Lemon or Chrissy Matthews or Chrissy Hayes/Richie Madcow will ignore this much longer. It’ll be “See, we knew it all along”.

“It looks like Dutschke might be a Republican”

Actually, he last ran for office as a Democrat:

According to the Clarion-Ledger, authorities are now focusing on J. Everett Dutschke, a disgraced former GOP politician. Federal authorities reportedly searched his home on Tuesday as they tried to find a link to the ricin letters. Dutschke apparently operates a taekwondo studio in Tupelo, Miss.

However, Dutschke also ran for county commissioner in 2008 as a Democrat in Lee County, Miss., J.D. Griffin of the Mississippi Republican Party told TheBlaze in an email Wednesday. So, the last time he ran for public office, he did so as a Democrat, Griffin said.

Let’s hope the po-po (at all levels) have their EVIDENCE in order this time to have the right person.

Bow to your sensei…I SAID BOW TO YOUR SENSEI!!!

You think I wear these bad boys and hook up with Stella? Hell no! I get in kitten fight with Elvis impersonators as retarded as I am! And for just $280, I can teach you how to suvive like I did for almost two seasons in the ricin-laced octagon.

The investigators’ first clue that they might have arrested the wrong man came very early on when PKC’s home was to be searched. He is reported to have said, ‘You’re looking for what? I don’t even eat rice.’ You can’t make this stuff up.

Seriously, this is the first time I’ve ever seen a bitch-slapping contest turn out this way. Hooah!

Believe I read somewhere that Curtis was also Republican at some point… and no, I don’t have a cite to support that, but noted it because some acquaintances are Austin-oriented liberal douchebags who get all their news from Colbert and jump all over that kind of thing.
