The powder sent to both King and Spokane counties tested positive for traces of fentanyl.
30,000 ballots were put on hold. For what, them to still be counted and the offices not even fazed cause they have kickass protocols? Idiots
It’s not like this was a particularly important election here in King County either.
you know it’s some cop lover considering they think fentanyl powder kills people on contact
That was my first thought: some dumbass bought into the idea that fentanyl can be fatal if touched.
I checked, and while you can’t absorb it through your skin, it does look like it’s possible to accidentally inhale a lethal dose.
You could, but you’d have to have a lot of it blown airborne. you’d have to have it blown in your face to realistically inhale any of it.
Anthrax and other effective mail-delivered substances were dangerous since they were much more airborne or were hard to properly ensure is cleaned off your person. Fentanyl won’t be ingested if it gets on your clothes or a trace remains on your hands, but invisible, long-lasting bacterium spores? Lethal.
It has to be aerosolized to do that, which isn’t going to just randomly happen from opening an envelope. You’d have to do something deliberately really stupid like spray it into a theater full of innocent hostages.
Wait…

God. Now I’m just imagining ready glitter bombs being delivered.
I don’t want to live on this planet anymore.
Either a cop lover or just a cop. They probably wouldn’t have trouble getting their hands on fentanyl.
Wait till they find a white conservative did it.
Then it’s no longer terrorism.
“Honest mistake your honor, my client was told to send messages promoting white power”.
Just some Lone Wolf with mental health issues who hangs out with other lone wolves with mental health issues.
It was Fentanyl. That’s a bootlicker for sure
Oh, LAWD, I can’t wait to see the inevitable outcome when they raid the trailer of the shit-stain who did this, and it’s a White Nationalist.
I hope he pulls a gun so they shoot him 50 times.
I hope he doesn’t pull a gun, gets arrested, and police gets a chance to investigate this dude’s associates and round up the whole chat group. Maybe he’ll be sentenced to a restorative prison system where he gets deradicalised, realizes the error of his ways, supplies info to help stop shit like this in the future, and becomes a spokesperson for deescalation training and restorative justice reform.
A measured, sane take, on MY internet?!??
deradicalised,
You can’t “deradicalize” a right-winger - right-wing ideology is anti-radical.
That’s the kind of thing I want for common criminals. When it comes to terrorists, I just want them locked up forever, and if I trusted the government to always catch the right person, I’d want a much worse fate for them.
I hope he pulls a gun so they shoot him 50 times.
Why would he pull a gun on his fellow neonazis and Klan members?
Republicunts. Worthless traitor filth.
KCE will have those ballots counted before breakfast is over tomorrow. The election system equipment they use is second to none, not to mention they are a dedicated group of people and the tabulation team is lead by a rock star.
Damn, I’ve seen this rerun before about 20 years ago…
Oooh, fentanyl… that thing that makes pigs (but nobody else) mysteriously fall over whenever they happen to be in the same time zone as a milligram of it?
I assume something is happening in Washington? Probably another abortion vote?
