'Runners off the hook for Ikea toxin scare'

by Randall Beach, New Haven Register

"Felony charges against the two runners whose spreading of a flour trail led to a large-scale biohazard scare were nolled in court Thursday after they agreed to pay $4,000 to local charities......

During the emergency operation that ensued, including a haz-mat team, the store was shut for about four hours. A city spokesman estimated the total cost for the area mobilization was $50,000"

There was more, but I don't feel like typing it out and just wanted to give anyone who is interested an update. Sorry if this has already been made into a post, but it's good that they got off. Kind of ridiculous that they were charged as they were to begin with, but $4000 to charity is much better than jail time!

re: Southern CT Embarrassment

So everyone was pissed when they got arrested, but no one cares that they were let off?

our civil liberties.... gone like the dinosaurs. don't do anything, don't say anything, don't complain if we treat you to a controlled drowning session, if we accuse you of nothing yet kidnap you with no access to family, friends or lawyer.

we can listen to your phone calls, read your mail. you have no rights in this new communist society of george bush.

George Bush is an idiot, but......

Glad they got out of that mess.

re: Gasbag

True communism is just another money/power grab by those in charge, under a different colored flag.

what is happening now is a communist-like grabbing "for the greater good" i.e. the safety of your children from the terrible terrorists.... (yes, we use terror to drum up support against the "terrorists")

How terror-ful do you think it is to have your lungs filled with water on the way to death? Water boarding is terror. Extra-ordinary rendition is terror.

And the worse thing is that US sanctioned terror creates more "terrorists" - that is humans who have nothing left to lose and hate the US.

Good job, Bushies. Good job. You made a terrorist-factory in Iraq

re: red to the bed

Yes, I agree. The fact that we waterboard terrorists is way worse than what happened on 9/11. Prick.

None of which compares to the hundreds of thousands of Iraq citizens and US soldiers killed in Iraq by Hussein, the US and the Iraqi themselves.

Hussein... horrible guy. killed 0 US citizens. 0.

You do the math. 9/11 was executed by Saudis. Why do you have no feelings about them? Hmm?
