Chicago Man Arrested for Allegedly Targeting Obama With HIV-Infected Blood
A man from President Obama’s hometown of Chicago has been arrested for allegedly sending Obama and his staff envelopes containing HIV-infected blood, in the hopes of killing or harming them.
It’s only the second time ever that HIV-infected blood has been sent with malicious intent through the U.S. mail system, a spokesman for the U.S. Postal Inspection Service said.
In the weeks leading up to Obama’s inauguration, Saad Hussein, an Ethiopian refugee in his late 20’s, sent an envelope addressed to “Barack Obama” to offices of the Illinois government in Springfield, Ill., according to court documents. The envelope contained a series of unusual items, including a letter with reddish stains and an admission ticket for Obama’s election-night celebration in Chicago’s Grant Park. Court documents said Hussein, who takes drugs to treat a mental illness, later told FBI agents he is “very sick with HIV” and cut his fingers with a razor so he could bleed on the letter.
Ok, it’s no secret I’m not a major fan of B. Hussein, but this is beyond ridiculous. What was this man expecting to happen? Was this a message to BO that since he can calm the storm, and part the waters, he can also cure HIV/AIDS?
Hussein, with his brother acting as an interpreter, told FBI agents he was actually “an admirer” of Obama and was “seeking help from the government,” according to court documents. He also told them he was hoping to obtain tickets to the inaugural ceremonies in Washington, the documents said.
Oh yeah….that would have gotten him tickets. (Hussein? Are they cousins? Naw….wrong African country.)
Hussein, who has never held a job in the three years he’s been in the United States, was arrested last month. An affidavit filed at the time accused Hussein of “knowingly” mailing letters “containing HIV-infected blood, with the intent to kill or injure another,” in violation of federal law.
Three years? No job? Is he here legally? How has he managed to survive for 3 years and no income? Uh….who is paying his bills? Oh yes…..silly me…..WE ARE!
This is not the first time law enforcement officials have had to take Hussein into custody. He was arrested by police in 2006 after starting a fire in the middle of a crowded Chicago intersection. When officers arrived on the scene, he was waiving the Koran in the air and yelling “Allah Akbar,” or “God is Great” in Arabic. Court documents said he was transported to a hospital, where he called President Bush a terrorist and criticized American foreign policy. He was not formally charged, but he did spend time in the mental health unit of the hospital.
Uh…isn’t that “Allah hu Akbar”? So, why the hell is he still in the country? Why wasn’t he deported when he pulled this stunt? Obviously, the guy is a few paragraphs short of a chapter. Don’t we have enough of our own fruitcakes, without importing them as well? Jeeeeeez.
