Since April 26, at least six different locations across Portland have been hit with mysterious envelopes filled with equally mysterious white powder. Some envelopes are straight-up labeled “Anthrax.” So far, none of them contain the toxic powder.
The most recent delivery was found this morning at Infinity Tattoo. The rest of them: Market Center Building, Mark O. Hatfield Courthouse, Lloyd Center, Port of Portland Headquarters, and the downtown Hilton Hotel. Here’s a handy map I made highlighting all of the places the powder has popped up. I tried to connect the dots to make some sort of cryptic message or symbol, but all I came up with was a crippled starfish. What does it mean?

those crazy anarchists aren’t very original
how do you know this is being done by anarchists? I’d guess the chances are just as good if not better that it is being done by a bunch of right wing white supremacists or tea partiers.
Infinity Tattoo stands out in the list. Too specific. Probably not an employee who would benefit from the publicity, but rather someone who had a dispute over a tattoo or a friend of that someone.

@2 Like I said, anarchists.
This was done wide scale in DC, New York etc after 9-11. No one was caught and it was not confirmed if any packages contained the biological agent. The majority were inert matter. Copycat incidents have occurred elsewhere as well
@1&5: Yeah, no I don’t see that happening.
They did have a prime suspect for the DC attacks, but he killed himself, so we’ll never know.

I thought the FBI said they had stopped the sender’s ability to send letters (whatever that means)

Oh, you meant THAT white powder problem. I, uh…I’ll just show myself out.
“I’d guess the chances are just as good if not better that it is being done by a bunch of right wing white supremacists or tea partiers.”
Let’s look at the past few years of attacks and violence Randy:
Occutard destruction in the parks and on marches
Anarchists threatening and damaging businesses
Radical muslim attempts to blow up Christians
Gay gang attacks ‘one man, one woman marriage’ Christian church
I don’t recall any tea party / right wing attacks or threats in Portland for a very long time. Most of the trouble has been from the so-called peace loving leftists.
Ha! He’s an Occutard! He’s one of you guys! Christopher Lee Carlson
