Militant radical leftists are quite serious about most things. Just look at that recent vicious attack against a conservative on the Berkeley campus to see that in action.
My favorite episode of Columbo, entitled "Negative Reaction", saw the killer use this technique.
It didn't even work back in the '70s. Columbo busted the perp (played by Dick Van Dyke).
Lol, so true. I loved that show. But imagine the difference today versus then. Back then the magazine cut outs were actually better for the criminal than typing because they could narrow it down to the type of typewriter and then find who bought them. Remember that movie Jagged Edge with Jeff Bridges and Glenn Close? And she found the typewriter in his closet that had a raised letter just like the letters someone was sending to the prosecutors? He got caught that way, and that was in the ‘80s. Times have really changed.
Now that his wish came true, you feel sorry for him?
I feel sorry for him. I think he really thought they wouldn’t investigate, or wouldn’t ever find the people so it would always be an unsolved case. I don’t think he’s a bad person, but he does not have a criminal mind and must not watch the news. He’s so stupid he paid these guys with a check! He must have been high when he concocted this plan. The letter with the white powder was his downfall. I think by the time of the police report, they’d already narrowed down the search on the letter and tied it to him. They were just waiting for that final confirmation that he knew those guys, and his redacted phone records was that confirmation.
Now he’s ruined his career, and will probably do some time and so will his friends. All for publicity.
