"Police investigating hoax death report e-mails"

[Rwalsh]

Capitol Police are investigating a series of hoax press releases this week after news outlets received false reports that Sens. Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.), Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.), and Frank Lautenberg (D-N.J.) had died.

What a sick joke.

Whoever did this should be prosecuted to the fulest extent of the law.

1. Its definately a right winger who did it since they're all Democrats

2. Assuming that these are jokes and not worse: statements of intent.

There are a lot of unbalanced people out there, and the rightwing has riled them up with intentionally-violent language.

3. So which committee are they all on?

Or what Bill are they working on together? Why are these three grouped together for this hoax? I'm thinking this is a threat, not a joke.

4. Nothing will happen it never does the Capital Police seem to

turn a blind eye when a Democrat is threatened etc. But when the same person who threatens a Democrat just happens to threaten a republican they mess their pants prosecuting him...remember the guy who threatened Obama, Pelosi and other Democrats and the did nothing but then he threatened Cantor and they went bananas and arrested him...See what I mean.

5. If you are not engaging in speculation, then perhaps

drop a letter of complaint to:

United States Capitol Police
Office of Professional Responsibility
119 D Street NE
Washington, DC 20510

to start, keep a record of all correspondence. If they do not follow up, contact your state Congressional office and provide them a copy of the USCP's responses or lack thereof.

6. Are the investigating 4Chan sending Justin Bieber to North Korea too?

And how is this a crime?
