95. Good God I hope this ends well
Like some of the other posters, I hesitate to jump to any conclusions, but I can't help but wonder if the guy might be someone who listens to right wing talk radio and has fixated on Senator Clinton. With a few notable exceptions (like the Unabomber) you generally don't see a lot of leftists in the United States anymore who are into violence and threatening people with explosives.

I just hope that everything ends without the cops having to go in after the guy. We'll never know what was going on in his head if they kill him, and I don't want to see anyone - hostages, bystanders, police, anyone - get hurt.
