Some of you might remember that over the summer a man was arrested for having 38 vials of a deadly neurotoxin in his house. The same stuff puffer fish use to kill its enemies and people who don't know how to properly cook them. This caught my interest because he lives less than 2 miles from me and we watched the SWAT helicopters hovering around all afternoon while they arrested him. Supposedly he was hatching a plot to kill his wife (and how many others in the process?) He denies it (of course). She stands by him (whatever). A few years ago he was arrested but not convicted in a plot to kill his wife that he said he didn't really intend to carry out, he was just bored.
Anyway, he's in the news again. He's been in jail since his arrest and his lawyers were trying to get his bond lowered so he could be released. They said he wasn't a threat to anyone.
On what planet does having 38 vials of a deadly neurotoxin make you not a threat to anyone?
What if he got "bored" again and decided to start taking target practice at other people, their homes, their pets, their lawn gnomes? (He had a mini-arsenal of weapons as well as the poison.) Or start a little side research on other toxins? Maybe decide that bomb making was his new hobby?
Happily the judge denied lowering his bond, and Puffer Fish Man still resides in jail.

Uh WHAT!? Jail is where he needs to stay. His crazy wife can just go visit him at his new residence. At least this way she'll stay alive. Silly girl.
You know, it sounds like something out of a novel. How strange!
And 'Puffer Fish Man' would be a great name for a rock group.
I'm a little concerned that getting out on bond was even an option him. C.ra.zy
