People don’t realize, messing with the postal service; using it for threats; they take it VERY serious.
I have a close relative that was on the receiving end of some nasty grams from some psycho and it was local PD, local postal inspector general; only reason FBI was not involved is because there was no actual “threat” in the letters.
That guy and his “bro’s” have some serious charges on their hands.
It goes beyond filing a false police report; sending money in furtherance of a crime, wire mail fraud and other charges.
Smollet had no excuse for what he did. The publicity wasn’t worth it.
