Who's on a scanner in Cleveland? I'll look for an online stream. We need to know what kind of medical problems there were.
I'll do what I can!
I used to pick up mail for a church...they would occasionally get some doozies, too, but usually those were from people with emotional problems warning people about tin foil hat type evils...

I heard differently. I heard three people were hospitalized.
The package wasn't sent to a radio station, it was sent to Novastar Mortgage. Just appeared to be a regular broker application to the person that opened it.
Apparently the building didn't know any better. Stupid structure.
Thanks for the thread and for posting any updates.

Very important information.
It's not known if the package was sent to the radio stations.
That would be my guess...you know, some whack job who got dissed on a call in show.
Is this anywhere near you or the office??
Glad to be of service! :)
Truly, since the London jihadism, we're all skittish. Not that we shouldn't be.
I'd go with your report.
First main stream media reports tend to be muddled.
See post 18. It wasn't sent to the station.
Oh. Very different.
The "true inside story" in basically all of these cases is Mass Sociogenic Illness; the illnesses aren't "real."
You work with a DUmmie troll?
Keep in mind at this stage I still could be wrong too.
All of our buildings are required to go through suspicious mail training. :-)
