Clayton Lee Waagner ~ remember that name well.

He got prosecuted and convicted for sending out phoney anthrax attack letters.

At the same time he was commiting his crime personnel at Planned Parenthood headquarters had prepared mailings in the hundreds of thousands of pieces threatening pretty much the same thing.

Although their phoney anthrax attack letters went to many more people than did Waagner's, they were not prosecuted.

If you or I were to place similar "hoax boxes" around Boston, we'd never get out of prison. Odds are very good that the US Attorney General will find no reason whatsoever to prosecute Ted Turner!

Frankly, I think we should make it our mission to take this miscreant and stick him in a cell next to Mr. Waagner!

They're not "hoaxes" and they're not even "boxes".

Sheesh people. I detest Ted Turner more than most, but at least have a legitimate gripe about him. There's plenty to choose from.

If I send a letter to someone and write "Anthrax" on the envelope, I have taken action to explicitly threaten that person's life.

If I put an electric light depicting a cartoon character on a sidewalk, the "threat" is generated entirely within the fervid imagination of the terrorized.

Do you at all see the difference??
