Update: Nathan Richardson was released from custody claiming his pregnant actress wife, Shannon Guess, set him up which she denies. She was then detained and questioned. Ricin and castor beans were found in their home and cars. They are both soon to take lie detector tests. Here is some new stuff from GAWKER on the East Texas ricin letters. Though I properly used SEEMS and IF, I did subjectively add GUN ENTHUSIAST to the original article. For that I will apologize if it turns out that a divorcing white guy from rural East Texas is not a gun enthusiast. But I will never apologize to gun enthusiasts for anything, ever. Which is what the angst concerning this article is all about. They could care less about Nathan Richardson or Shannon Guess.
This in not over yet. We may very well find this is a double reverse agent provocateur traced back to the Elvis Mansion in Memphis…
On a related issue… Sheriff Joe Arpaio of Arizona Maricopa County built an outside tent jail to house prisoners who must wear pink uniforms and are subjected to daily demeaning crap. Temperatures in Phoenix often hover over 110 degrees outside (in the shade) and up to 145 in the tent jail. Okay, here we go… And the majority of prisoners in that concentration camp HAVE NOT YET BEEN CONVICTED OF A CRIME. So please if you find this article unfair to one person, before you say anything, please contact Sheriff Joe who is being far more unfair to hundreds of people every day.
“Anyone who comes for my guns will be shot in the face.” One of the gun related lines from all three of the ricin letters sent from Shreveport, Louisiana to Mayor Bloomberg and President Obama.

The FBI seems to have got this gun enthusiast without getting shot in the face. Picture above of gun enthusiast Nathan Richardson and his wife Shannon Glass. No coincidence he is from Texas hey? And from the South. I wonder if his middle name is Bedford? Or if he is an NRA Life Member? Did you hear that the NRA gave a Life Membership to an 8 year old Illinois boy who chewed a gun image out of a Pop tart? Gosh.
Richardson is a government employee! A civilian defense worker at a big army depot. But not enough ammo there for Nathan. His wife Shannon turned him in after finding what she figured was ricin in their fridge and “ricin” searches on his computer. I would guess being married to a NRA gun enthusiast is a hard road and she needed a break from the crazy. And may I say STUPID? I mean really, like he thought he was smart enough not to get caught because he drove 100 miles to send letters full of poison to the President? Well one thing is sure, if they got the right guy, he won’t be shooting anyone in the face for a very long time.
