ASPEN — A man who left bomb threats and homemade bombs around Aspen on New Year's Eve shot and killed himself in his car a few hours after his threats cleared much of the resort town, Aspen Police said.

Assistant Aspen Police Chief Bill Linn said James Chester Blanning, 72, walked into two Aspen banks Wednesday afternoon and left packages wrapped in holiday paper along with notes saying the boxes contained bombs. The notes threatened "mass death" and demanded $60,000 cash, along with criticisms of President George Bush, Linn said.

Let's hope it's contagious.

Is the gene pool a little cleaner today?

This guy couldn’t wait just a few more weeks and the world would have been filled with sunshine and puppies.

[lafroste]

That’s some note. What a pitiful end to a pitiful little life.

[notpoliticallycorewrecked]

Well I guess he had to get this done before Bush left office.

[Texas Eagle]

Other than the demand for money, this note reads like your typical Keith Uberschmuck rant.

[blam]

LOL. BDS!

[NaughtiusMaximus]

Some other wacko killed a ski resort manager in Colorado yesterday for the crime of being Catholic. What gives in that state anyway? They should change their motto to “Too goofy for California.”

Shhhhhh! What are you trying to do? Stop the spread?

[PISANO]

BDS raises it's moronic head 2009!!

Bush will be blamed for EVERYTHING that goes wrong over the next 4 years.

Watch the MSM's reporting "CHANGE" significantly on Jan 21, 2009, it will be the GLASS HALF-FULL approach rather than the GLASS COMPLETELY EMPTY approach we have witnessed over the past 8 years.

The one good thing that happens whenever a Democrat becomes POTUS, the HOMELESS problem just vanishes!!

[Ghost of Philip Marlowe]

What an impatient fool.

All he had to do was detonate the bombs. Wait to be cleared on a technicality or pardoned by Obammie the Commie, then get a secure, tenured job teaching education in Chicago, write some crap books, and obtain lots of fame and fortune using the capitalist system he loathed so much he wanted to blow it up.

[Lonesome in Massachussets]

One of the first things they taught us in Catholic school was how to write a hold up note that was concise and free of vulgarity or grammatical errors.

“...holiday paper...”

####

Arbor Day Paper?

Veteran’s Day Paper?

Columbus Day Paper?

[Theresawithanh]

Hmmmm, 72 years old, and his note makes it sound like he was in Iraq. Maybe I’m reading it wrong.

It sounds like his life was a useless one, anyway, but what a way to go out to make sure somebody noticed him. Sad.

[uncle fenders]

Robbing liberals in Aspen while blaming bush, Now thats funny....

[09Patriot]

sounds like he had a fatal case of BDS. please save the liberals near you that suffer from this devasting disease..............lol.

[bannie]

Demanding money sort of negated any political statement. snicker...

[chimera]

Reads like something from DU. I wonder what his login name was over there?

[RC2]

He really, really accomplished a lot didn’t he? Fool.

[Texas Eagle]

Hmmmm, 72 years old, and his note makes it sound like he was in Iraq. Maybe I’m reading it wrong.

He was using the word "we" in the colloquial sense.

As in "we" are destroying the earth. "We" are destroying the environment. Yes "we" can, etc.

[Texas Eagle]

Blanning had a federal tax lien of just over $60,000 pending against him.

Uh-oh. Somebody better place a 24 hour suicide/bank robbery watch on Charles Rangel.

Or has he cleared up his little tax "oversight".

[LiberConservative]

"Reads like something from DU."

My thoughts exactly.

[Mad_Tom_Rackham]

Bush Derangement Syndrome.

[GBA]

Great thinking there, Chester. No doubt Aspen is overrun with Bushies and they deserve to pay, especially during the holidays!

What the heck is up with these BDS people? I thought Obamassiah won and the Reign of Bush is over.

[BereanBrain]

you should post the image of the note on DU!

[09Patriot]

what’s his Libertypost name?

[hkp123]

He wasn’t tased?

[Uri’el-2012]

Pitkin County sure has their share of kooks.

Almost all are socialists and Marxists.

[Steamburg]

BTW, the beautiful irony is that this idiot hosed his left wing buddies in Aspen, while bashing Bush.
I was a Colorado native, it got too crazy for me several years ago. For the last 15 years Colorado has become a dumping ground for California rejects. Denver looks more like the bay area every day.
The cry of the immigrants was “That isn’t how we did it in California”. Two seconds later they would start telling you how bad it was in California, but they could never make the connection.

[Morgana]

Damn Obama Voters!

Okay people this is why you ALWAYS have a designated driver on New Years Eve! Or just call a freaking cab........they are usually free on New Years Eve!

[rellimpank]

—one of the best bumper stickers I have seen was on a car with Montana plates-—”WE DON’T CARE HOW YOU DID IT IN CALIFORNIA”

[BlazingArizona]

The notes threatened "mass death" and demanded $60,000 cash, along with criticisms of President George Bush,

This doesn't make sense. In Aspen, you ought to be able to get all the criticisms of Bush you want without threatening to blow up anyone.

[VeniVidiVici]

What do I win?

A ticket to Osama's coronation later this month.

[TheConservativeParty]

Yep. Obama voter.

[NaughtiusMaximus]

Believe me Steamberg, I know what you”re talking about. Thirty years ago, when I moved to Flagstaff, this was a pretty little Western town. In the last decade the place has filled up with new age libertards and has turned into a Whisky Tango hippie reservation. A bunch of them starve out every winter but more keep pouring in from the West to corrupt our elections and hike our taxes with their stupid “improvement” schemes. Although I love the countryside, the town has come to disgust me.

[Carley]

The man has a long long history of disgruntlement.

Heard that one time he got up on the roof of a building in town with a noose around his neck, threatening to kill himself.

This time he succeeded with only a dollar damage rather than any loss of life.

Unfortunately, the laws do not permit confinement for the marginally sane.

[Deetes]

WOW !! Even a PS .

CO info

Sort of. Aspen is in CO but I don't exactly consider it part of CO.

[pandoraou812]

Well it was interesting or so I thought TE.

[TigersEye]

sounds like he had a fatal case of BDS. please save the liberals near you that suffer from this devasting disease...

I feel for them ... but I can't quite reach.

[TigersEye]

Oh it's interesting alrighty. BDS blows up in a major BDS enclave. LOL

I always knew hanging around with the Aspen elite would cause brain damage. Poor guy, he was totally under the spell of BDS and Aspenitis, he didn't stand a chance.
