Astonishingly quick work from USA law enforcement agencies to catch the pipe bombs mailer suspect; Strong and protective of rule of law words of US AG Sessions

Last updated on 30th Oct. 2018

Hats off to USA FBI and other law enforcement agencies for their work! This kind of work is an inspiration and provides a role model for top investigative agencies and other law enforcement agencies of other countries in the world, including India. The suspect who almost certainly is the criminal, being caught, eases the horrific tension and scare that the pipe-bombs being sent to top Democratic Party leaders and a media house, had created. It also sends a clear signal to any wannabe imitators that that's what will happen to them if they try stunts like this suspect (almost certainly the criminal) did.

Deterrence! That's the key to prevent recurrence of such horrific and scary stuff. And the FBI and other law enforcement agencies have achieved that in spades!

US Attorney General Jeff Sessions says at the beginning of the video:

Thank you all for being here. Over the past week, more than a dozen suspicious packages have been sent through the United States postal service to a media outlet, a Hollywood actor and at least seven high-ranking and current and former political leaders in the Democratic Party.

This is utterly unacceptable. Political violence or the threat of violence is antithetical to our vigorous system of self-government. It is a threat to that respect for law and process that allows our people to accept legislation, elections, court rulings with which they do not agree. This is the central feature of our system of government. You advocate for your beliefs enthusiastically but we peacably and lawfully comply with the results.

Please know that from the beginning this investigative team has made this matter a top priority focussing their great talents and expertise on neutralizing this threat. They have moved swiftly and professionally using extraordinary technical expertise to apprehend the one alleged responsible. This is a demonstration of the skill, capability and determination of our American law enforcement - the best in the world.

So I am pleased to participate in this announcement that a suspect is in the custody of the FBI. I want to remind everyone that the defendant in this case, as in every case, is innocent until proven guilty. He has been charged today with five federal crimes including interstate transportation of an explosive, illegal mailing of explosives, threats against former President(s) and certain other persons, threatening interstate communications, and assaulting current and former federal officers.

For these charges the defendant faces upto 58 years in prison. These charges may change or expand as the investigation proceeds. This is a law and order administration. We will not tolerate such lawlessness, especially not political violence.

And so I want to thank FBI Director Wray and his team, all of our law enforcement partners who are here, ATF, Secret Service, Postal inspectors, Capitol police and New York City Police Department, and the  United States Attorney Be... and of the Southern District of New York and US Attorney for the Southern District of Alabama Arianna ..... Federal, state and local law enforcement officers from across this country responded immediately to the cause and contributed to this effort. We are proud of each one of them.

I want to reiterate that the defendant in this case is innocent until proven guilty.

Let this be a lesson to anyone, regardless of their political beliefs that we will bring the full force of law against anyone who attempts to use threats, intimidation and outright violence to further an agenda. We will find you. We will prosecute you to the fullest extent of the law.

And now Director Wray who has done an incredible job leading this effort over the last few days. He will give us the details of today's important arrest. Chris.

Scary to know the white-supremacist and intolerant views that the US pipe-bomb mail suspect has. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0dHyITt1Uws, 9 min 46 secs.

This is so eerily like what has been written in history books about the Nazis and their ideology.

Hmm.
