BOLO Ryan Chamberlain
Fox News reports that the FBI executed a warrant at the house of Ryan Chamberlain in San Francisco, he wasn’t home, but apparently they found a metric-sh*t-ton of ricin along with some bomb-making material;
KGO said the amount of ricin found is the largest ever seen before in the city.
Tests will be conducted to confirm that the substance is ricin.
The ABC affiliate said investigators in hazmat suits entered the apartment and made the discovery. The apartment is near Jackson and Polk in San Francisco’s Russian Hill neighborhood.
Chamberlain is reportedly a “political junkie” with a criminal record of minor infractions.
KGO says;
At some point in in the evening, there was a loud bang. Sources say they were able to safely disrupt some sort of device.
[…]
Dressed in full hazmat suits and masks, investigators walked in and out of the Jackson Street ground-level apartment all day. Only ABC7 News was there as agents rigged a pulley system to remove a tool box from the one-bedroom unit then examined it in the courtyard. At one point, mobile x-ray machines and the bomb disposal robot were both used.
I wonder what his complaint is.

Has the mess media tried to portray him as a Tea Party member yet? He lived in San Foo-foo, so that will be a hard sale to make!
Yup, it was only a matter of time, work for Republicans in Iowa:

His twitter feed is liberal, if any slant at all. One climate change tweet, and an economy-sharing demonstration in SF: https://twitter.com/poliholic
I don’t consider one climate change tweet liberal — plenty of conservatives also understand that climate change is occurring. And since he’s worked on both R and D campaigns, I’m inclined to think this has less to do with politics and more to do with… well, we’ll see.
As an aside, this article says he was interested in a seat on a Republican committee when he moved to SF:http://www.sfgate.com/crime/article/FBI-Suspect-wanted-after-agents-search-for-5520975.php
Let’s see how this develops before screaming media bias, liberals, or anything else.
a Republican committee in SF – isn’t that like a rabbinical gathering in Mecca?
No Ricin found Likely no explosives, either.
Sounds like a frat prank or rejected girlfriend revenge.
They are still looking for him and consider him armed and dangerous. There may not have been any ricin, but this appears to be more than some “frat prank or jilted girlfriend”.
Back in the day the FBI was oft times unkindly refered to as “Fools, Bunglers and Incompetents”. With all the other crap that goes on in and around San Fran, this really doesn’t surprise me in the least.
I’ve overheard some in the legal profession refer to them as “Feebies”.
Whether or not it tests positive as Ricin this one sentence struck me as odd, “KGO said the amount of ricin found is the largest ever seen before in the city.”
1. How often do they find Ricin in San Francisco?
2. WTF is going on in that city that people need so much Ricin that the cops find it in ANY quantity with some sort of regularity?
The city of weird is truly that.
That was the first thing I thought of when I read it…..
Yeah, kinda made ya wonder what amount they usually recover. Or where they go to observe smaller amounts in the city.
Maybe they are trying to say that Oakland is where large volumes of ricin are usually found.
Isn’t ricinroni the San Francisco treat???
you beat me to it,,,
hahahahah excellent
If it wasn’t ricin, what was it? Baby powder? Wheat flour?
Maybe you think the po-po over-reacted, but considering the nutcases that keep turning up with nasty stuff in their possession, it seems to me they acted properly.
However, the media, in its usual need to generate hysteria, assumed the worst and reported the story based of lack of information.
This is how they work: they get half of the information. They get one-fourth of that part right. And they go with half of what they got right.
And remember, panic attack stories sell newspapers. Happy dance stories don’t.
What variety of explosives did they find, firecrackers and bottle rockets? Let them find even one firearm in his domicile and the media will be blaming the NRA with every breath!
I love ricin, especially ricin gravy, ricin chicken, ricin beef, ricin pudding, ricin soy sauce, ricin wieners, ricin shrimp, or just plain ol’ ricin a plate, et cetera, et cetera.
Speaking of mouth watering ricin – – – ,
IMPORTANT REMINDER ! ! !
Don’t forget – – – ,
TUESDAY is SOYLENT GREEN day!

I wish I had some explosives.
It would be fun to set them off at our beach on Independence Day.
My friend out in Utah fires his homemade black powder cannon, his whole family shoots rifles, pistols, and shotguns, and everybody enjoys setting off fireworks (which are illegal).
But, they’re on a ranch, away out on the high desert, where the mountains of Utah, Colorado, and Wyoming meet, and there’s only one deputy sheriff (who they’re friends with) to patrol a BIG, wide open county.
One of my past hobbies is Civil War Reenacting. On the battlefield, we fire blanks, which are nothing other than black powder dumped down our rifle barrels, then we put a fresh cap on and fire upon command. There are different grades of black powder, Fg is coarse, meant for cannons back then, FFg is meant for rifles, FFFg is meant for pistols, and FFFFg is meant for nothing other than the flash pan of a flintlock. The more F’s, the finer the powder grains are, thus I can make paper cartridges like they did during the Civil War, which one pulls one from their cartridge box, then one flick of the thumb loosens it, then you tear it, dump the powder down your rifle barrel, prime, and fire when ordered, and *BOOM!*. One recipe calls for a certain percentage of FFFg ro some FFFFg powder for blanks ONLY, and it will make the report from any reproduction .58 caliber Springfield or Enfield sound like a cannon going off!! Like I said, FFFFg black powder is ONLY good for the flash pan of a flintlock when doing live fire, but for blanks, *BOOM!* and YES, BE CAREFUL, doing powerful and loud blanks with a black powder rifle does give off a heavy recoil, AND NEVER fire modern smokeless powder from a black powder rifle, PERIOD!! Modern black powder replacements are good for firing projectiles, i.e. deer hunting, but when firing celebratory or reenactment blanks, THEY’RE WORTHLESS!! all one will get is a bright flash and a *Fiiiizzz!*.
I was in Revolutionary War reenactment and we fired blanks from our muskets similarly to your rifles. We used FFFg in our paper cartridges; dumped a little bit into the flash pan, and the rest down the barrel. Made a nice boom, flash, and cloud of smoke.
At a Mountain Man Rendezvous in Idaho, there were demonstrations and competitions featuring homemade black powder cannon and even a spectacular display of homemade black powder mortars.
There were also compressed air potato guns shooting barrels filled with candy for the kiddies to chase.
If you ever get the chance, you’ve just GOT to go to a good ol’ fashioned Mountain Man Rendezvous!
I’m no mountain man, but when one of them heard me performing, they invited me to sing at their campfire.
The mountain men rigorously research history and keep alive the old skills, so accurately, that they are called upon to teach the local American Indian tribes the lore which they’d forgotten and lost.
Even though it’s illegal, in rural Utah, it is common for ranchers and farmers to use homemade pipe bombs to blow tree stumps and/or boulders.
A friend of mine in the Army loved to launch homemade rockets and blow stuff up – – – BEFORE he went into the Army!
He and I had a lot of fun in our off duty time.
Oh great 🙁
Now BLM is going to have armed “agents” squatting on overwatch duty at every piece of property that matches the geo details you gave up on the bad bad bomby friends of yours.
Here’s a little more info, from the linked article below:
Chamberlain is 6′ 3″ tall, weighs 225 lbs and has blue eyes and brown hair, according to Lee. He was last seen south of San Francisco Sunday, driving a white 2008 Nissan Altima with a California or Texas license plates of either 7FQY085 or BX9M042. He is believed to be wearing a dark blue hooded sweatshirt and blue jeans and is considered armed and dangerous, Lee said.
The FBI is encouraging anyone with any information on Chamberlain to notify the agency at 415-553-7400 or call 911.

OK, so if you see that car with either of those license plates, it might be him.
A sweatshirt? In this weather? Well, yes, if he heads to the Sierras.
I guess the media are trying to help out.
Hmm, so they narrowed it down to two license plates that don’t look similar with two completely different numbers. Great job, guys! Reminds me of Tommy Lee Jones and R. Lee Ermey trying to get a description of the shooter from the cheerleaders in “Man of the House.”
A sweatshirt? In this weather? Well, yes, if he heads to the Sierras.
Considering he lives in SF, a sweatshirt is sometimes not enough, even in July.
Hoo-A…BBBBrrrrrrrrrrrr
[baby it’s cold outside]
“Political junkie” that’s mediaspeak for raving lefty loon. Gateway pundit has his twitter feed-http://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2014/06/fbi-searches-for-ryan-chamberlain-from-san-francisco-after-finding-massive-ricin-stash-in-apartment/
Well, if he exposed himself to that ricin, he won’t be running for long.
Arrested. At a bar. In SF. Crying in his merlot.
Close enough. You’d cry too if you had to drink merlot.
