White powder sent to Mormon temples in Utah, LA

LOS ANGELES (AP) - Letters containing a suspicious white powder were sent Thursday to Mormon temples in Los Angeles and Salt Lake City that were the sites of protests against the church's support of California's gay marriage ban.

The temple in the Westwood area of Los Angeles was evacuated before a hazardous materials crew determined the envelope's contents were not toxic, said FBI spokesman Jason Pack.

The temple in downtown Salt Lake City, where the church is based, received a similar envelope containing a white powder that spilled onto a clerk's hand.

That's a new low right there! I bet it was some radical gay group that was behind it. Wonder why Fred Phelps won't denounce that? Oh, he hates Mormons as much as he hates gays.

That's pretty f-ed up mailing out white powder.  I remember hearing on the news a couple of weeks ago a bunch of banks getting letters with white powder in them.  I hope they catch whomever did this.

It is. I know after 9/11, some wacko sent anthrax laced mail to people. That person later committed suicide.

With luck the judge will sentence him to hard labor, because given the political motivations for making terrorist threats like this to this particular target, I think the perp would enjoy being passed around the cell block a little too much for the proper correctional benefit to be realized upon him.

Wonder if this is considered a "Hate" crime?

We just re-elected him for an unprecedented fifth term! At least someone I voted for won.

"hate" only exists when it is directed at liberals.  Otherwise it is just "free expression".
