Canadian Woman Not Entitled to Vote in U.S. General Election Opts for Alternate
"After she was detained, she admitted she had sent ricin to locations in Texas and to the president of the United States.""It is clear that this defendant has the desire to kill the president of the United States and individuals she feels somehow wronged her in Texas when she was arrested [there] in March 2019."Assistant U.S. Attorney Timothy Lynch"This country has a history of witnessing assassinations and attempted assassinations of the president of the United States, going back to Abraham Lincoln and then William McKinley -- here in this very city of Buffalo, New York -- the attempted assassination of Ronald Reagan and now the numerous threats that have been made, allegedly by the defendant, against Donald J. Trump."U.S.Magistrate Judge H. Kenneth Schroeder Jr., Buffalo, N.Y. Courtroom
Pascale Ferrier "I found a new name for you: 'The Ugly Tyrant Clown' I hope you like it. You ruin USA and lead them to disaster. I don't want the next 4 years with you as president. Give up and remove your application for this election.""So I made a 'Special Gift' for you to make a decision. This gift is in this letter. If it doesn't work, I'll find better recipe for another poison, or I might use my gun."Pascale Ferrier, Canadian Computer Technician"[Pascale Ferrier is highly educated and] a software genus.""She voluntarily came to the border, said she was the person they [FBI] were looking for when there hadn't even been a warrant issued.""She wasn't absconding, she wasn't avoiding."Public defender, lawyer Fonda Kubiak
This, clearly, is a woman with strong convictions, so strong she is impelled to follow through, completely commit herself to forbidden acts of irreversible harm to others. Sending poisonous substances to recipients she wishes to harm does not distinguish her as a mind capable of genius in any endeavour, but one that is diseased with the affect of venomous hatred and a belief that she is an avenging angel of the public weal.
Not an American herself, but a dual citizen of France and Canada, having emigrated from her country of birth in 2008 and becoming a Canadian citizen, her actions are not such that would be a source of pride to either France or Canada. "She was loaded for bear", remarked U.S. attorney Timothy Lynch -- while arguing the reason she should remain in custody pending transfer to face trial in Washington, D.C. as a public danger.
The presiding justice thought similarly, convinced of the possible outcome of sending deadly ricin to anyone, resulting in an agonizing death. And she had planned just such an agonizing death for a number of people, having sent out no fewer than eight disparate envelopes containing the deadly white powder to target individuals her sick mind informed her were deserving of death for in some way they had offended her personal sense of justice.
When she was arrested on September 20 while crossing into the U.S. from Canada, she had in her personal possession a loaded semi-automatic handgun, a knife, and a backpack stuffed with 294 rounds of ammunition, along with a stun gun, pepper spray, a collapsible baton and false American identification. Justice Schroeder denied her release.
On September 18, the U.S. Secret Service had discovered the presence of a peculiarly suspicious letter that had been addressed to "Donald J.Trump", sent to the White House. The envelope had a Canadian stamp, and contained a threatening letter against the president of the United States, along with a mysterious substance that turned out to be deadly ricin.
While police were in the process of investigating the origins of the letter, its author arrived at the Peace Bridge border crossing separating Canada and the United States, at Fort Erie, Ontario and Buffalo, New York. She informed the U.S. border guards that she was the individual whom American investigators were looking for, responsible for the ricin letters -- whereupon she was instantly arrested.
Reaching out to the Canadian federal police, the RCMP at the FBI's request undertook an investigation on the Canadian side of the border. And so, an apartment in St-Hubert, Quebec, a suburb of Montreal, was entered and searched by an RCMP team. There they discovered samples of ricin residue on a mortar and pestle which they seized as evidence, and which tested positive for ricin.
Anyone can grow a castor bean plant, they are huge specimens of vegetation, quite beautiful, and quite poisonous for from the castor beans ricin is derived. The court prosecutor Mr. Lynch, contended that no bail conditions could ever justify releasing this woman. Her offences were manifold; using a fake Texas driver's licence when she was arrested, just like the one confiscated in Texas when she had been arrested on a charge of falsifying a U.S. document in 2019.
The gun she had in her possession at the time of her Texas arrest had been confiscated, so she obviously obtained another one for her latest escapade. To all of which charges the woman pleaded not guilty. The 2019 charges of false I.D. and unauthorized gun possession were, in any event, dismissed in Texas last year, and on that occasion she was left free to depart the country.
As it happened, Brooks Country Sheriff's Office in Texas saw Sheriff Urbino Martinez hoping she would be charged for sending ricin in an envelope addressed to him and received at his office. Accidentally placed not on his desk but elsewhere where his administrative assistant opened the envelope then simply put it away, saving him from opening it himself spontaneously and thus becoming exposed to the poison with unfortunate aftereffects.
"If it had been directed to me, I would have grabbed it and opened it up to read", he explained. The envelope however, remained undisturbed until a U.S. Postal Inspector advised him to turn it over to the FBI. Connections between Ms.Ferrier and the recipients of the other letters sent on to Texas, to Mission City Police Chief Robert Dominguez, Hidalgo County Sheriff J.E. Guerra, and to three Hidalgo County detention officers were identified by investigating police.
