THE MEDDLER

Sometimes real life is funny. Saturday's news had a front page report of a 20 yr. old man from Fairmont, MN who was arrested for making terroristic threats. I know that is not funny. How they caught him is amusing.
This guy held a grudge against a girl he had known in third and fourth grade. She had rejected his attention (in his mind at least). Years later, he began writing letters threatening her life if he could not have her. He drew pictures of tombstones with her name on. He wrote bad poetry with many mispellings. She lived in Connecticut. He put the harassing, threatening letters in a plain white envelope and left them for his mom to mail. Mom noted he had not put his return address in the corner and did that for him!
The FBI found the guy. He had purchased a gun and saber and had a backpack full of ammo.
Do you think he will be writing his mom from prison? I am glad the girl was not hurt and realize this is black humor but I find it "poetic justice" at it's best.
