Report of threatening letters sent to bank executives with powder...

... which was revealed to be corn starch.

NYPD claims link to Occupy. On FOX now so take it how you like it...

edit - No link on foxnews.com

Found a story from CBS...

http://newyork.cbslocal.com/2012/04/30/threatening-letters-containing-white-powder-sent-to-manhattan-banks/

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — Envelopes containing white powder turned up at multiple banks in Manhattan on Monday, police told 1010 WINS.

Five of the envelopes were sent to Wells Fargo banks, one was sent to JP Morgan Chase headquarters and another was sent to Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s Office and ended up in a mailroom on Gold Street.

The powder was determined to be cornstarch, police said.

--snip--

The envelopes also contained notes that were nearly identical, containing references to “May Day,” which falls on May 1 and is a traditional rally day for labor movements.

The notes also included statements such as “You have 10 seconds to stop working,” “You are not in control” and “ the banks.”

Occupy Wall Street is planning a big demonstration Tuesday in New York City, urging followers to block traffic at bridges and tunnels to make it hard for people to get to work.

That has the NYPD suspecting that there may be an Occupy Wall Street connection to the letters.

1. If any of this is true,

then Fox sent out the letters to invent another "news" story.

3. It's a shame if it's true...

unfortunately, this was used as a pr stunt by the right in 2004.

5. couple of thought on that

1. baby powder? really guys. The Shrubco used real stuff. If you can.t make a real threat, then make none.

2 rightwingers losing houses too so don't count the mom's basement crowd out. This is the kind of crap they do.

3. again it could be bullshit to allow the nypd to be ****fully harsh on protesters.

4. seems like they figured out what it was awfully quick. Kind of like the speed in which they discovered the identities of the 911 hijackers eh?

G. whoever and fornwhat reason therenis one thing for sure-there will be more and more of this kind of shit. They have left many of us with no way to survive. Things will escalate in this country if the people get no relief.

But, under the name of ‘liberalism’, they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.” - Norman Thomas, U.S. Socialist Party presidential candidate 1940, 1944 and 1948

Ain't there a pic of the Drano primitive (Drale) somewhere?  Didn't he huff spray paint or something like that?
