“We” don’t have the guys name, but I’m guessing the cops know it, along with a lot more than that or they’d be asking for help from the public (as in the Seattle Ferry incidents, haven’t heard much on that one recently either). As to the dog’s type, they haven’t said, though the pooch is described as being quite dead.

Rather amusing that the authorities always state that these incidents are non-terrorist related. Almost as if it is scripted. I imagine that is a Federal requirement, drilled into the heads of the PR folks at training conferences and other training events. The statement is too consisitent not to be a federal requirement. You break the rules and fail to make the required “no terrorist” satement, and “No Homeland Security Funds for you”. Interesting to watch, but somewhat embarassing since we’re paying plenty to watch this drama being acted out for us. We’ve all seen the authorities present the same play too often totake the disclaimers too seriously.

Well, if it was terrorist related, and they said as much, that could shut down Las Vegas for some time...

The cost would be enormous, incalculable.

Sometimes when things like this happen I get the feeling the authorities would rather that they didn’t have to tell us anything at all - ANYTHING.

So I guess we should count our blessings that they told us even a little about what’s happening.

This is, as you say, probably SOP. I am dismayed so little is being shared with the public. Anyone with one one millionth of a brain cell is aware of the dangers faced, and each is free to ignore those dangers. The Constitution was written for days and times like Americans now face, but look at the clowns running the place, telling Americans that they Serve, Protect, and Defend the Constitution, while the blame is placed on Americans, who elected these clowns, and one understands a little more of what is taking place. Again, I am dismayed the enemy is firmly on the path to murdering Americans, while congress interviews baseball players. Says much about the people in charge, who go by the name democrats, and our beloved rinos.....(shaking head and walking away)

Interesting analysis offered by police:

Roger Von Bergendorff, who had been admitted to the hospital on Feb. 14 with breathing problems. Von Bergendorff is now in critical condition and police sources say he has slipped into a coma. Police say they don't think foul play is involved, however they are still investigating why the man had ricin in his room.

. . .Not related to terror if only by the fact that the perp is not in a coma and never got a chance. Oh well. . .maybe he just hated his dog.
