FBI, USPS to investigate suspicious envelope at Temple Square [Salt Lake City]
KSL ^ | KSL-TV/Radio/.com

Posted on 11/13/2008 4:07:24 PM PST by rycharn

The FBI and US Postal Service inspectors are on their way to investigate the suspicious envelope found at Temple Square containing an unknown white powder.

The letter was mailed to the temple and was opened inside an office in the entrance area to the Salt Lake Temple. That is in an area open to the public.

They have since placed the letter into a black plastic bag.

Both Salt Lake City police and fire departments are on the scene and have closed off the area, including eastbound lanes of North Temple between State Street and Main Street.

They did not take this incident to an elevated threat level because they feel they had the situation contained.

They did not evacuate the temple, but are not allowing anybody inside.

Scott Freitag of the Salt Lake City Fire Department says someone in the office opened the envelope, saw the powder and immediately called the fire department.

"We don't have any indication there's any sort of threat with it," Freitag says. "So we're just going to go in now. Our Hazmat team will go in and take a look at it, see if they can make any determination of what it is by looking at it. Most likely it will have to be tested."

hey... i don’t like the results of the general election, so it would make perfect sense to have celebrities get on tv and say how it it’s not fair and how we are perfectly right in protesting... then have the supreme court render the election irrelevant and then have another election

This should be treated as a threat. If the person who sent it can be identified, I hope they’re arrested.

Also...

What on Earth does this accomplish? How many people are going to change their minds in favor of gay marriage because of stupid stunts* like this? If anything, it’s just going to convince everyone else that they’re right.

* I”m assuming it’s not actually anthrax, but just another “prank” letter intended to scare people and send a message.

So what are we going to do about the filthy deviants running around terrorizing everyone? The filthy homos are running around trying to intimidate Christians and terrorizing Churches and Temples. They are purposely throwing a tantrum with the hope that their antics will convince the Kalifornia Kangaroo Kourt to overturn Prop 8.

So again, what are we going to do about it?

These “Prop Hate” homosexuals are overplaying their hand and undermining their cause. Can’t say I am not suprised. Look for violence and property damage to churches by these folks.

It sounds to me like opponents of Proposition 8. I bet it’s harmless, and they were just trying to get a scare out of them, but you never know.

>>”Look for violence and property damage to churches by these folks.”<<

I think you are 100% correct. These wimpy little “peter-puffers” are in for a big surprise if they think the Mormons are going to stand by and watch their Temples burn and families endangered.

Property damage against churches has already happened. In my area of Utah (just south of Ogden) a handful of LDS churches had glass doors and windows shot out over the last week.

Would love to see some hate crime charges put on the perps when they figure it out.
Course we’re talking F.B.I., so who knows?

Well we could get the C.i.A. to invent a horrible disease they would somehow distribute amongst themselves that would kill them off.
Joke,
just joking.

Even if it is talcum powder, this is an act of terrorism since 9/11.

In a little over a week, many Californians and Americans are being subjected to Hate Crimes committed by Christophobic criminal gay deviates.

We don’t march and threaten gays with axes, axe handles, ball bats and other weapons, as done by Hate Filled Gays in a church as shown in the picture linked below:

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2129679/posts?page=1#1

More hate crimes committed by hostile Gay deviates:

Nor do we threaten elderly gays and rip their rainbows away from them. However gays committed this hate crime against an elderly Christian woman as shown in the link below. There will be a short bumper ad before it starts:

We can boycott the corporations funding the repeal of Prop 8.

There are many corporations funding the repeal of Prop 8.

A guy in Ann Arbor, who had the audacity to display a McCain sign on his lawn in that leftist bastion, was mailed a package of dog poop.

However, the sender mailed it from a post office, and paid with a credit card.

I think that merits at least an honorable mention in the “Stupid Criminals” list, don’t you?
