Would-be Aspen Bomber Found Dead
Filed under: Icky Icky Poo > Sad Sad
Jim Blanning, the 71- year old guy who allegedly planned to bomb Aspen (or so he threatened) on New Years Eve, has been found dead, by his very own hand.
When Blanning's brother, Bill, last saw him on Christmas Eve, he noted that brother Jim's mental state was deteriorating.
"He was carrying on about how there was going to be riots in the streets and people killing each other and stuff," the other Blanning said. "I could see it coming."
This isn't the first time Jim Blanning nabbed the headlines in Aspen. Back in 1994, he climbed onto the roof of the town's historic courthouse, tied a noose around his neck, and threatened to jump. According to reports, he was embittered by his clashes with the county and the suicide death of a friend.

For the love of God, isn't it about time we banned Islam and all of its terrorist adherents from this country?!?!?
"..found dead, by his very own hand". Such awful writing. What you wrote implies that it was his hand that found him dead.
It seems like there is a proliferation of sick deranged people.
Could it be something in the air? Like pollution, toxic fumes, global warming, El Nino…. ?
Thats just sad
Wow Perez…as with your story about this yesterday, you are about a day behind everyone else. I read this story yesterday and although I do live in Denver so I got the news faster, CNN had this on their website at the same time as the Rocky Mountain News. Maybe a little faster news casting would be good…or just stick to celebrities.
This is CNN- not!
and my husband almost died in iraq for people like him….
People beware !!!! more than 40-50 % of the people walking the streets are INSANE !!!!! This is the result of our society ! They want us INSANE,retarded and handicaped . so sad. No future in this country. No hope. Soon , the americans will go to other places to live and work and survive. You'll see.
Oooh Lawd…he look old. Bless his po' heart. Riots in the streets. Hmmm….he must be rememberin the gay pride marches he was in back in the 70's & 80's.
Re: porodika – You are right! Most people are nuts or just mean spirited!
P.S. Your puppy is too cute!
It's too bad Jim Blanning wasn't given (forced?) help when he began exhibiting signs of mental illness. Many problems could be alleviated if we paid attention to the warning signs and acted accordingly instead of scratching our heads in bewilderment after the fact.
Ummmmm…. He was found dead before your post yesterday. Why didn't you mention this then?

It's no liberal conspiracy. It's not the water. It's the booze in the water. He's pickled.

Re: porodika –
I assume you're part of this so-called 40-50% because you're an idiot. How dare you talk about the mentally handicapped like that. Why would you even compare the insane to the mentally handicapped? They are two completely different types of people. There are a lot of insane people in this world, but 40-50%? That's just moronic. I assume you don't have schooling past high school, or maybe not even that. Your sentence structure and your use of the term "retarded" are clear indications that you are a fucking dumbass.

You're an idiot. Go read a book.

Re: Turd_Ferguson – He is not a fucking Jihad for God's sakes, you fucking idiot. He's a mental fuck like most of the regular men in this country……ohhhhhh, they all have fucking issures. Fucked up fuckers.

Wait a minute - a guy climbs on a roof, ties a noose around his neck, threatens to jump, and people STOP HIM???
They should have let him do it. Clean up the gene pool, people. Ever heard of Darwin?
