Bomb Threats In Aspen Ruin New Year's Eve
This is sad. Some crazy-ass douchebag ruined New Year's Eve for thousands of people in downtown Aspen.
A former resident of Aspen sent over some bomb threats Wednesday on one of the town's busiest night of year.
Suspicious packages along with threatening notes were found at two banks. Police said that a bank in downtown Aspen first found the package and note at around 2:30pm. Another nearby bank reported a similar issue a few minutes later.
The packages were wrapped in Christmas paper, sitting on top of some pizza boxes in black sleds with the notes indicating a threat to the community.
This forced the evacuation of a 16-block area of downtown. Even a fireworks show that was scheduled for 8:30pm was moved to midnight and later had to be canceled.
Better safe than sorry!
Police officials did not release the contents of the packages or notes, but they did state that bank security cameras were able to get a photo of the alleged criminal. They found an older man left the packages and were able to identify him as 71 year-old Jim Blanning.
Was he just senile or freaking crazy?

Ughh paris hilton makes me sick, what a crazy story, though.
Crazy! She should take a hint, like another pathetic woman I know of, and realize she's a harlot whom people can't stand!!!!!!!!!!!
Re: Assume the Position! – Hey Assume - wow things have certainly heated up for your girlfriend (sounds like she's a lot of peoples "girlfriend") LOL.
I must say that after going to some lengths to attempt to defend her to you I was most surprised to see I had been deliberately omitted in the New Years Greeting list. Oh well, I'm at least glad to see my efforts weren't appreciated.
Looks like we're stuck as friends after all. I may need to seek therapy to get over Orchids rejection. Boo Hoo.
Re: Assume the Position! – I have Watched you too and I like the cut of your jib. And if I was a gay man I'm sure I'd like more than that.
Ahahahah! OWNAGE!!!
Re: Mistress – Hello The Mistress. I like reading all your posts and those of all your friends in Perez's "posse". I usually Watch and dont talk much but I am still drunk from NYE and I cant seem to shut up.
Nothing like being hours behind the time. News sources revealed the packages contained gasoline and cell phone parts, and the guy who planted them shot himself.
Re: Mistress – Re: The Watcher – Mistress, I can't believe she left ME off the list!!!!!! lol
The Watcher, you are funny as hell………………….I'm glad you had a splendid NYE!!!!
-
Goodnight to you both!
Re: Assume the Position! – Good night and I think I should turn in too. too many vokda's hee hee
Re: Assume the Position! – You may not have made the list but she dedicated a whole post to wishing YOU a Happy New Year - now you now you've arrived . . .
I seem to have made the shit list somehow. LOL
Re: The Watcher – #6 You are an odd little person to be sure, but thank you. So are you always watching???
Way to be like 24 hours behind…here in Denver where I live, we heard about it about an hour after it happened. And they did the fireworks show tonight that they had to cancel last night. Most people just went to some other resort to celebrate since they were evacuated out of Aspen and the main restaurants and whatnot were closed down.
Yikes Perez. Love you, but this is a: outdated and b: a bit harsh considering the "perp" killed himself right after the crimes. Are you not reading cnn.com? The story has been there all day.
WHY IS THERE A PHOTO OF AN UGLY SLUT - PARIS HILTON WITH AN IRONING BOARD FIGURE - WHEN THE STUPID TART IS OVERSEAS -
Free ad for Paris Hilton, Perez? You should add kiss ass to your list of nick names.
This is a slight inconvenience when you compare to what the people of Gaza have to endure ………
Re: The Watcher – your little tomato bug is both frightening and adorable…………..did you know that they are repelled by garlic?….the fangs are very fitting
HOW SHALLOW, NEWS YEARS EVE WOULD HAVE BEEN SPOILED IF THE BOMBS WENT OFF…PERSPECTIVE PLEASE…….
Perez, is it not obvious to you that Paris Hilton only hangs out with you to get publicity on your site? Quit being such a TOOL!
I LOVE PARIS SHE SHOULDVE BEEN W/P DIDDY ON NEW YEARS
I like that penguin thing she's wearing.
Re: mamajud – Thank you Mrs Mamajud U are a very nice lady.
