Russia's "Clue" game so much cooler - Sausage King/crossbow/sauna

Russia’s “Sausage King” killed with crossbow in his home sauna

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/russia-sausage-king-vladimir-marugov-murdered-with-crossbow-in-home-sauna/

A Russian oligarch reportedly nicknamed the "Sausage King" was killed with a crossbow in his sauna after masked robbers broke into his home, investigators said Monday. The man and his wife were in their banya — a traditional Russian sauna — outside Moscow when several masked men entered, tied them up and "demanded they give up the money kept in their home," Russia's Investigative Committee said.

The wife managed to get free and alert the police, who discovered the man's body, the Committee said in a statement.

One suspect was arrested Monday evening, Russian news agencies reported.

The Committee, which probes major crimes, did not name the victim, but Russian media widely reported that it was Vladimir Marugov, who owns numerous meat-processing factories and is known as the "Sausage King," according to the Interfax news agency.

So, no reports of organized intimidation or slowing voting?

This was my main concern today, Trumpers taking hints from him and showing up in polling places especially in cities. Hopefully the lack so far is a good omen - I’d think if they were going to do anything it would’ve been before noon to get the story going. Create panic (which the media would happily encourage).

I have seen two reports of machines not working though.

Trump Train 2 - gunshots and pepper spray at Lee Monument Richmond Va

Witnesses describe clash at Lee Circle between caravan of Trump supporters and a crowd of opponents

https://richmond.com/news/local/witnesses-describe-clash-at-lee-circle-between-caravan-of-trump-supporters-and-a-crowd-of/article_473ba282-d762-54b1-97da-c365ccf903ca.html

Tempers flared Sunday as a “Trump train” of cars tried to pass Lee Circle along Monument Avenue and clashed with opposing protesters, drawing a police presence that blocked off the area to traffic.

Witnesses said gunshots were fired during the encounter on Sunday afternoon two days before the presidential election, and one man showed a reporter a bullet hole in his car where it was parked on Monument Avenue near Lee Circle, which has been the site of racial justice protests for several months.

Several other witnesses said one or more of the supporters of President Donald Trump in the train of cars was spraying chemical irritants at an opposing crowd that was trying to block the cars from passing. One man said he narrowly avoided being run over by jumping onto the hood of a car. Another man said he ducked just in time as someone fired a gun at him from a truck, after someone else had pulled a Trump flag off one of the vehicles.

He said the train of cars started at the Henrico County courthouse complex and drove through parts of western Henrico before heading east along Monument Avenue. He said as many as 350 cars were in the train and that many of them were flying American flags or Trump flags. Other witnesses at the circle said they saw from 15 to as many as 40 cars.
