I'm not stuck on anything except the fact that bravenak received the letters at her home. That is the only concern I have in trying to make sense of this asshole that did send them.

4. I don't think they sound alike at all.

The fb account sounds like a male. The nasty letters from FL, female--I think the "Mr" was a not so clever ruse attempt.

I also think that the nasty letter writer is a regular DUer, probably one with significant personal issues. That sort of behavior is not normal.

FWIW, this is just a guess, and a personal opinion-- if you don't like mine, go on ahead and make your own.

8. Oh, sure--nothing wrong with speculating. I could be dead wrong, too.

Something about the sentence construction and the visceral anger of the letter informed my opinion, but I'm the first to admit that one never really knows!

I do think Bravenak's stalker is from the Tampa area--she probably has driven by "Mr Citizen" and thought he'd be a handy guy to use as a fake persona. Maybe she didn't know much about him.

From his fb page, he seems like a rather simplistic, religious, constitutionalist, "Why can't we all get along?" type. And I don't see ANY evidence of support for Bernie Sanders at all on his fb page--I can't really tell who he supports, or IF he supports any particular candidate.

I will say that his picture of Trump riding a lion was the funniest thing I've seen today.

I wonder if he is a house husband/military (USAF) spouse--he "Likes" the animal shelter in Vicenza IT (where there is a USAF military base and where a lot of spouses volunteer). And he's in a location where a military spouse might be working (McDill AFB). AND he seems to have time on his hands to stand on street corners with his simple little sign.

Anyway, I'd be surprised if he turned out to be the letter writer. I've been surprised before, though.

Besides the co-inky-dink, writing that letter doesn't look like his speed.

11. This guy does not seem like he would do something like that.

Sure he has the same name... But the demeanor of the posts are nothing like the letter.

This guy parks himself on street corners in the Tampa area, and tries to get folks to smile. His handle is on his signs. Would not be too much of a stretch for some RW'inger that hates the guy to plop this guy's name down on the letter. I would never consider this harmless guy would do anything remotely similar to what happened.

12. Hmmm, I notice that there's nothing on that FB page referring to #BLM

Nothing about black people, nothing about Bernie

I don't see it.

not enough proof. He also makes it plain in some of his posts that he does not like the Obama administration.
