Herald receives letter from pipe bomb suspect (Full text of 7-page letter with pics!)

Badger Herald (College paper) ^ | May 7, 2002 | Julia Westhoff, Campus Editor

I'm not a shrink but I have been a physician for 25 years, and after reading that letter I think the boy is INSANE.

[autumn]

Two things have to be done with this kid: 1. Lock him away for a very long time, and 2. Stop publicizing his lunacy. Copy cats are always out there waiting for some nut (especially one who spouts intelligent sounding crap) to copy.

[Shermy]

A mentally ill person, I agree. Sounds like he's been deteriorating too.

[genefromjersey]

I looked at his sevens right off: no. He's not the Anthrax Kid. Judging from his text, he has been "enlightened" by somebody like the Rosicrucians ; and/or is a walking, talking advertisement for anti-drug programs. ( Ecstasy ?)

OH, please don't let the cops hurt me! Whaaaa! I don't want them to hurt me. It's ok that I blew off the arms of alot of people, please don't let them hurt me.

Yep, alot of these posts have the correct link to Algore. But gezz! What a nut case. There is no death? Paraidise awaits even the evil in his mind (Q: is he muslum?). Global warming, and other drivel drove him to this?

Don't be too concerned about his parents, I heard a quote from them stating that 'he isn't dangerious'. Ok, tell that to the one handed people who he (literally) disarmed! His parents are just as twisted as he is.

Even more importantly, he's in his early 20's. He attended the UW system. I had to pay for his "education", or a good portion of it (I live in WI). And HE has a problem with the government? He hasn't paid enough in taxes to have a problem with the government!

Heck, if he wants to see oppression, send him to Red China, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Iran, India, even the UK!

I happened to tune in to the Glen Beck show today, and some nut job from CA called about this. Her comments were to the effect of, "why are you against protesting the government"? Now keep in mind this was from CA, and came from one of the sheeple who chain themselves to trees. Ok, fine, if he wanted to chain himself to something; no problem. However he was trying to kill and maim innocent citizens who have funded his education (such as it was)! I find a huge difference between protesting the government and killing and maiming innocent citizens who have no power over what you may be protesting.

I sincerely hope that he has a cell mate that "really likes" him.

He calls everyone else greedy, but then thinks he has a right to hurt other people, to force people to see things his way. That's pretty darn greedy if you ask me.

[rockprof]

Can you say "schizophrenia" boys and girls?

[ProudGOP]

His letter is crap/shit. It made me want to vomit/puke.

[Shermy]

LOL/ROFL!

[beckett]

Like a good little soldier on the left, reporter Westoff does a good job describing Helder in such a way that a naive reader might think he is a government hating "rightwing nut" rather than what he quite obviously is to those who know how to interpret his jabbering: A leftwing anarchist/fantasist/utopianist who has been so badly mimsguided by the dominant culture and so badly educated by the the moral relativism his leftwing teachers that he cannot distinguish between right and wrong.

[virgil]

I seem to remember that the eastern philosophies stress the significance of circularity of life, the universe etc.

"His letter is crap/shit. It made me want to vomit/puke"

LOL..... Thats what I was thinking/imagining. Do you know anyone else who writes/composes sentences like this? Do a search/seek for FR's own f.Christian.

[Grampa Dave]

This clymer who chided people about being afraid of death and being hurt is your typical lilly liver clymer coward leftist:

Helder said he would surrender if he was not harmed.

"He requested not to be tackled," Trooper Alan Davidson told the Associated Press. "He surrendered the gun and was taken into custody without incident."

This leftist pussy didn't want to be tackled, harmed and knew not to point his gun at the Nevada State Police.

He would make a great person for Arafatty to help others commit suicide. What a petty/pitful large POS!

See you all in 2011 (or sooner).

My New Age experience is from 30 years ago. Is there a cult that has a timetable now?

Well, supposedly, according to the Mayan calendar, the world, or this world ends in 2012. Though there is some dispute about the way the calendar was translated.

Also, according to Ed Dames, remote viewers can't view anything in the year 2012. Its like a wall, he claims. But remote viewers can see stuff before and after 2012. Go figure. I don't listen to Art Bell much anymore and this info is from memory and is several years old.

After reading what I could of what's-his-name's rant, I still fail to see a connection between his Matrix-like fantasy and placing pipe bombs in rural mail boxes. All it does is strengthen my belief that most of what-passes-for-art-these-days is a form of terrorism.

[sausageseller]

Molly Webb, a UW-Madison junior and former classmate of Helder, said he might have a drug problem, but she believed this was not the source of his anger. "I think he just wanted to get his message out there," she said. "He's not the kind of guy who would hurt anyone."

Yes they love Madison,Ws.

[Freee-dame]

I certainly didn't pick up any whiff of "rightwing" stuff for the media to dive on

The alphabet channels must have been so disappointed to read his rantings after they heard that he was a white male with a buzz cut.

[McGavin999]

This is standard 1960-1970 new age, flower child, Beatles Sgt Pepper stuff.

Interesting what people are paying $30,000 a year for, isn't it? Just find out which professor was a flower child and you'll find out who pumped this kids head full of this stuff. Sounds like he's on an acid trip.

Jesus, what a nut job. No matter though- they need to put him away for a very long time. I said it on a different thread- pretty soon he's going to be playing "Hide the Pipe Bomb" with his new buddies in prison (he'll probably get picked to play the part of mailbox) and he'll most likely discover that "Astral Projection" means something totally different in the joint.

On a side note, I don't see how the media can get any "right wing crazy" mileage out of his letter. He's not a wingnut- he's just a plain old nut; one that no wrench is going to fit.
