Obama ricin threats suspect complained on Facebook "We removed prayer from schools in 62"

Check out this Jackson Clarion-Ledger article profiling Paul Kevin Curtis, the man arrested today for sending poisoned mail to Pres. Obama and Mississippi Sen. Roger Wicker:

According to GigSalad.com, a website dedicated to booking live entertainers, Curtis does impersonations of “70 of the biggest names in music history,” including Elvis, Johnny Cash, Prince, Bon Jovi and Kenny Chesney.

On the website, Curtis goes by the stage name “KC,” which was used in the letters sent to Obama and Wicker and to Lee County Justice Court Judge Sadie Holland.


Curtis posted on his Facebook page on Tuesday a reaction to the death of 8-year-old Martin Richard in the Boston Marathon bombings.

“heart breaking. I have an 8 year old son with the smile of an angel. This world is not what it used to be and the hopes of all are not what they ‘USED’ to be. We have let God down. We removed prayer from schools in 62....we have staged wars simply for profits in oil and drugs....we have lied our way from the capitol to the pulpit. We the people should be ashamed. I weep for the future of our children. God bless,” he posted.

A small and exclusive group. Not many can summon and sustain the sheer unmitigated craziness to qualify for membership.

For example, signing your poisoned letters....

Trying to make sense of the way crazy person's minds work will only drive you crazy. Apparently this guy is a long-term conspiracy theorist, and he's been very angry at the authorities because they won't take his bizarre theories seriously. He thinks their failure to accept his claims means that they are part of the conspiracy. He's really, really not right in the head.

Odd is a very substantial understatement.

He was a Christian but he also wrote about Christian hypocrisy.

I hate to put it quite this way, but aside from being crazy, he's probably a very nice guy.
http://www.clarionledger.com/article/20130417/NEWS/130417027/Who-Paul-Kevin-Curtis-

“Never been a bench warming church going judgmental hypocrite (ouch...that left a stain on a few I've met in northeast, Ms). I pray daily, treat others how I wish to be treated, Lead by example, am always willing to learn & better myself daily. I do my best to help others in need daily. I am sad for the ignorant of the world & pray double for them. A Christian to me...is one who is always willing to admit one's short comings to themself & to God...one who opens his or her own heart up to the "light" that is so seldom shown in this world today. One who strives to be a better, more caring and giving person each day & one who takes steps every day to make the world a better place for our children.”

If you are a Believer.

And if you follow the Modern Church, It's the Minsters , Priest, and self proclaimed men of God, that have let down the Lord.

Schools were never supposed to be a place of worship, even God knows that.

and will repeat it here:

So long as schools have math tests, there will always be prayer in schools!

No one has ever made anyone here give up their religion. Do they allow religion in grocery stores, or do the uber religious posses the ability to keep their religion in their heart long enough to grab a loaf of bread before returning to their homes where they can do whatever the fuck they want?

Go to school, study, then come home and pray your balls off.

19. Hospital body parts from his siite

This is apparently his site


Let the record show that on this date, March 05, 2008, I, Paul Kevin Curtis, being of sound mind, am attempting once again to expose various parties within the government, FBI, police departments, legal & healthcare systems, etc. that a conspiracy to ruin my reputation in the community as well as an ongoing effort to break down the foundation I worked more than 20 years to build in the country music scene, began on the day I accidentally discovered a refrigerator full of dismembered body parts & organs wrapped in plastic in the morgue of the largest non-metropolitan healthcare organization in the United States of America, AKA

North Mississippi Medical Center where I was employed from 1998 until March of 2000.


His story goes on
its just plain weird.

Why, he's white and conservative, which means he couldn't possibly be operating on behalf of a larger organization!

Why, he cooked that ricin up in his kitchen!

Go back to sleep, America. There is no white conservative terrorist organization. Only brown people do that.
