FBI agents arrested Shannon Elizabeth Guess Richardson (pictured) this morning in connection with the ricin-tainted letters sent to the White House and the offices of Michael Bloomberg and Mayors Against Illegal Guns. According to NPR (yes, that NPR) her husband and original person of interest Nathan Richardson has been cleared of suspicion. The FBI now believes that Shannon sent the poison letters as part of a plot to frame her husband and divorce him, and that the letters’ rants about gun control were a red herring.
That’s right: guns, racism and gun control had nothing to do with the poisoned letters. These assassination attempts aren’t the handiwork of white racists or ‘bitter clingers’ but instead could be the crimes of a madwoman who was willing to kill innocent strangers in order to ruin her husband.

Looks like she’ll be candy for the prison Hos.
Nobody is asking the obvious question: where did she get the ricin in the first place? You can’t just go down to WalMart and buy some weaponized chemical warfare stuff, don’t you know. There’s a lot more to this story than we’re being told.
LOL.
Isn’t she married to Dennis Kucinich?
Law enforce habitually engages in wild exaggeration. This might be just some ground up castor beans (from which ricin is derived). Maybe not enough to be really dangerous, but enough to be arouse suspicion and set off alarms.
The husband is guilty as hell.
The idea that she was trying to frame the husband using the gun theme could mean that guns had nothing to do with it, that it was just a ploy. That is plausible, maybe even likely, but until I hear law enforcement say it explicitly, I’m not going to assume anything. I don’t want to have to backtrack.
My wife is a real redhead. She is not.

As far as we know, there were only trace amounts of ricin involved. It is pretty easy to get some ricin from mashing up castor beans, and squeezing out the oil. The ricin is supposed to be in what is left.
From what I have seen, just smearing a little of the residue on a letter will be enough to set of detectors.
“Where ricin is found and how it is used
Castor beans are processed throughout the world to make castor oil. Ricin is part of the waste “mash” produced when castor oil is made.”

Except for the four names, she’s not too guilty.
Just surprised there isn’t a hyphen somewhere in her name.
Exactly...And, probably a lot easier and safer to somehow feed the stuff to her husband than involve a Mayer and and someone who calls himself a President...
That Tat must say “For a good time call.....”
castor oil plant Ricinus communis ~ that’s where you get ricin. some folks raise them as a decorative garden flower
Obviously a Tea Party extremist;)
LOL, After seeing her pictures, I agree. Obviously the Husband mailed the letters and then reversed framed her to make it look like she was trying to frame him.
But I'll keep an open mind in hopes of more pictures and more evidence.
Nah, just an SUV.
In Southern California and a lot of the South West, they just grow as an obnoxious weed. After any mild, reasonably wet winter, I have to go back down south to pull the damn things out of the yard. A lot of people don’t know what they look like, and the beans can be quite fascinating to young children.
