Toxic substance, swastikas sent to Rep. Grijalva's office

"Police locked down the Tucson congressional office of Rep. Raul
Grijalva (D-Ariz.) on Thursday afternoon after staffers received a package containing a “confirmed” toxic substance, a Grijalva spokesman said.

A suspicious package with swastikas written on the envelope was mailed Thursday to the Tucson office, where about a dozen staffers work. Upon inspection, it was found the package contained a white powder authorities later determined to be toxic, said Grijalva campaign spokesman Adam Sarvana."

"There were no reported injuries and staffers were sent home later in the afternoon.

“Everyone was originally given a clean bill of health in our office,” Sarvana said. “Nobody is suffering from shock but everybody will have thorough testing and all they know right now is that it’s toxic.”

The incident marked the third security issue at Grijalva’s district offices since he called for an economic boycott of Arizona in protest of the state’s new law cracking down on illegal immigration.

Grijalva’s Tucson and Yuma offices were shut down in April after a man called and threatened to “blow everyone’s head off.” In July, Grijalva’s Yuma office was closed after staff discovered a bullet shattered a window there during the night.

The Tucson police and fire departments, including hazardous materials teams, initially responded to the call but have turned over the investigation to the FBI, said Tucson police spokeswoman Diana Lopez. Capitol Police have been notified.

Grijalva, who is facing an unexpectedly tough reelection fight against Republican Ruth McClung, was at his nearby Tucson campaign office when he was notified of the incident, Sarvana said. Grijalva was turned away from the scene when he tried to visit the congressional office to check on staffers."

His office is buggered almost weekly. Its what he gets for calling for a boycott of his own state, I have no pity for him. Just a waste of sperm in my opinion.

Agreed they are here illegally and should be sent back home.......they should come back legally.....one thing I don't agree with is that it should be any harder for one ethnicity to gain entry over another.....JMO

Why is this thread being talked about as an immigration issue instead of a Nazi or other terrorists threats to an elected official issue?

It's cuz Libs still hangin' onto the old slave days and don't wanna' give 'em up.

there is always a cause and effect... Nazism isn't the problem...illegal immigration is

Because as it is very sad and their are mental defcient people in the world that do sad things......the fact is when you get into a controversial job there is that entity or faction....we deal with where I work bomb threats and all sorts of physical and other type threats when people get turned down for benefits for over income.....I do hope everyone is okay but what can you really say about unstable people that do things like this an atrocity yes......but controversial and contrversial subjects motivate unhealthy people in weird ways.......doesn't matter who you are or what you stand for its a ridiculous response

all they said was toxic substance...could be anything from drain cleaner to the white powder on your battery ... if someone was trying to kill them, they would already be dead... it's just a scare tactic...

Maybe he'll run to Mexico to seek asylum.

yea, i hear just south of El Paso is nice this time of year...

You're condoning what the OP was talking about because you don't agree with him?

Edit: it seems that many in here are doing the same.

Ole Uncle Joe been getting death threats and Progressives be rootin' for the Illegals to off him.

I agree with Emily......no matter what the toxic substance it maybe or not be as it is undergoing testing does not make threatening okay.....but as government employees we expect things like this to happen to our offices and have structured guidlines and policies to follow when instances like these happen........anyone of us on anyday in my office could opening the mail and get something like that....anyplace could...disgruntled employee consumer.....anyone that takes disliking to something...and the culprit should be caught and punished because they are likely to try again and again......it happened to many before it could happen again......they will handle it and the fool will be brought to justice.....I am very sure

You're right.
It's Illegal to do that.
They'll get to looking for Who Dun It, just after the borders are secured.

Ohhhh, so it's just disgruntled customers or ex-employees...not an organized Nazi network of malcontents, insurgents, and racists. I am so glad we have our Stromfront crowd keeping things in perspective. I am sure they talk about this during their knitting circles.

I don't belive a group of people are involved probably an individual and the FBI killed Kennedy right....if it turns out to be white supremacists then its white supremacits its not like it hasn't happened before either....no biggie I ambjust saying the samething could happen at any level and any faction9

He's hurting for support so, it wouldn't surprise me one iota if it comes out he paid an Illegal to do it.

Oh great, yet again these same lame, mostly vague but obvious attempts of the Nazi Stormfront crowd here to claim that they are not an organized group of insurgents and terroritsts....musta been an ex-employee of digruntled customer...JTC, why don't yall just lockstep right up and applaud your soldiers...

Not buying it, never did never will.
