Eleven gay bars in Seattle were sent letters Tuesday threatening ricin attacks — in what some are describing as a hate crime.

The anonymous letters say, "I have in my possession approximately 67 grams of ricin with which I will indiscriminately target at least five of your clients. ... I expect them to die painfully while in hospital."

A 12th letter was sent to the alternative weekly The Stranger, according to its Web site. That letter says the paper should be "prepared to announce the deaths of approximately 55 individuals."

The letter lists the bars as: The Elite, Neighbours, The Wildrose Bar, The Cuff, Purr, The Seattle Eagle, R Place, Re-bar, C.C.Attle's, Madison Pub and The Crescent. The letter implies the attacks will take place one Saturday this month.

In a statement, the Seattle Police Department said it takes the threat seriously. It has seized the letters and is processing them and is coordinating efforts with the FBI and other federal agencies.

I bet they are bluffing. The only reason they even claim Ricin is because it is one of the easiest of the deadly poisons to make at home.

Just some hate mongering scare tactic.

Bluffing or not it should land them with hefty jail terms...

Hopefully they catch whoever sent it. Then he can enjoy the sad irony of what will be happening to him in prison for the rest of his 12 consecutive life terms.

We are on the verge of an economic break down, world war 3, and a slew of other problems facing our country and the world. assholes like this choose to manifest thier time in ruining clubs where people go to have a drink and relax? what a jerkoff.

NOTE* sounds like someone had thier wittle heart broken and is now jumpin on the "Gay hate" wagon.

Dear God,

I pray to you that this is an action of Fred Phelps and you help the FBI catch him. I pray that you make those who spread hate in your name an example of everything you do not stand for. Thank you for listening God. In Jesus name I pray.

Amen.

I'm curious about the quote saying "In hospital" that's not an American term, we'd say "in THE hospital", that's more British.
