Quote:Ferrier is a dual citizen of Canada and France. She pleaded guilty to sending a letter containing ricin in 2020 to then-President Trump and others.

In the letter, Ferrier referred to Trump as “The Ugly Tyrant Clown” and added that “[i]f it doesn’t work, I’ll find better recipe for another poison, or I might use my gun when I’ll be able to come. Enjoy! FREE REBEL SPIRIT.”

The threat of the gun became even more chilling when Ferrier was arrested after she tried to drive across the U.S.-Canada border at the Peace Bridge Border Crossing in Buffalo, New York. She had a gun, a knife, and hundreds of rounds of ammunition.

Ferrier apparently made the ricin in her home in Quebec. When she was arrested later for refusing to leave a park after it closed, police found eight similar letters sent to law enforcement officials in charge of the Texas jail where she was held. In one letter, she instructed Trump to “[g]ive up and remove [his] application for this election.”

She was also active on social media with one posting on X asking for someone to “please shoot [T]rump in the face.”

In court, Ferrier insisted that she considers herself a “peaceful and genuinely kind person” but admitted she gets angry about problems like unfairness, abuses of power and “stupid rules.” She insisted that she is an “activist” rather than a “terrorist” who wants “to find peaceful means to achieve my goals.” That hardly jibes with the ricin and traveling arsenal.

In court, Ferrier’s defense attorney Eugene Ohm offered a curious defense that his client is “inordinately intelligent” and earned a master’s degree in engineering while raising two children as a single parent.

The homicidal-but-smart defense did not work.

U.S. District Judge Dabney Friedrich handed down the 262-month sentence.

So you thought it was OK? Yawning seems to suggest you don't really care about that because - you know - Trump?


I saw the story much earlier too. It was not posted on this site until today... It is actual news you know.

I don't give a rip. Obviously you do. I don't get embarrassed by things posted on a freaking message board. If you think I should, you have a pretty low threshold there.

FFS, I make mistakes all the time.

Good to know that you can't even laugh at yourself for something so harmless as this.

Wait, harmless? She actually took action to facilitate her plans. There was a 300 pound fat guy who was killed by the FBI two weeks ago just for talking about it.
