The FBI has arrested a former Congressional candidate. Federal agents say Jeremy Ryan was attempting to get his hands on a lethal dose of radioactive material. You may recall that Ryan, a Town of Madison man, made a name for himself as an Act 10 protester and recently ran for Congress against Paul Ryan.
Court documents allege that in March and October 2018, Ryan attempted to purchase a lethal dose of a radioactive substance via the internet to kill an unnamed individual. On Oct. 24, Ryan was arrested and taken into custody without incident.

I guess things aren't looking that great for Evers after all.
The Dems have lost it, haven't they?
"unnamed individual"
At least until the midterms are over.
The "can't we all just get along" meme gets nuked again with this story.
Trying to order it by mail? Can you really buy radioactive materials and have it mailed to you?
Is my mail carrier being irradiated?
Oh, what sad times are these when one cannot trust an FBI website on the dark net. There is a pestilence upon this land, nothing is sacred. Even those who arrange and design radioactive substances are under considerable economic stress in this period in history.
Name that Party!
Ryan was arrested and taken into custody without incident.
I hope they let Paul Blart make the arrest.
In other news Aids Skrillex has been promoted store manager, Carl the Cuck is still as cucky as ever, and Horned-rim Tina has married an immigrant-rights activist and they have a baby on the way.
Click the link below for additional updates so you can say "you knew them when."
I note the news report never once mentions he was a Democrat party candidate [am I right in assuming he is a Democrat Althouse?]

None of this would be happening if we elected Presidents through the popular vote (And continued to allow California to allow Anyone to vote)
Since no party affiliation is mentioned, it's a lead pipe cinch that is Democratic.
Did they look for fake bomb making materials?
He should have gotten it at the farmers market, like Stewie does.
But please, calling out CNN as "fake news" is much worse.
Acting like a Putin thug? No big deal when you're a democratic.
I'm thinking it's for his Segway. He's hot rodding it. Vroom, vroom.
I guess Jeremy has segued into terrorism.
I just sent you a Tweet that highlighted this story, hoping you would blog about it. IDK if Althouse saw it, but Garage Mahal answered a separate one. Jeremy is a messed up sonuvabitch.
The article mentions Paul Ryan, same last name, and continues on with the exploits of Ryan, unspecified.
This news source must be left-leaning. Any right-leaning site would've recognized the meme potential immediately.
MadisonMan asked: " Is my mail carrier being irradiated?"
No. If you are ordering radioactive material vie the internet, it generally arrives in a lead-lined steel containment vessel. Post office policy requires the recipient to assist in jerking the vessel off the rear of post office delivery vehicle.
A "progressive Republican" . Sort of like Ann. Beware of "progressives" in conservative clothing.
I keep hearing in media now that both sides need to cool the rhetoric. Bullshit! The Republicans are almost exclusively the victims of this shit. It's justified on the left becuase Trump said a few off-the-cuff quips that nobody on the right took as calls to violence. These were all in jest, but the ones from the kleft are said in clear seriousness, often from bright faces at the top of their lungs in open rage and hatred.
These recent mail bombs may or may not be false flags, but they only serve the Democrats. Nobody with any sense on the right wanted this to happen, despite how they might feel about the people who were sent the bombs.
Even if it turns out this was done by a Dem sympathizer, that will not stop Dems and the media from pretending it was from the right, and many idiots will believe and repeat that for all time. They even do that with the violence we know was done by the left. They blame Trump for it no matter where it comes from.
Radioactive poisoning is a hell of a seque to political success.
Of course he was arrested without incident. He tried to escape on a freaking Segway.
Wow. I have to admit - this Democrat AD is really good.
Come on R party - up your game.
The left had better terrorists back in the day. The Weatherman, Ayers, the group that kidnapped Patty Hearst, the cabal the blew up the building on UW’s campus. Vaguely attractive to easily misled young women looking for excitement. People who got shit done. Now they have losers named Jeremy who ride Segways. Losers who send fake bombs that look like dildos. How disappointed those aging leftists must feel.
How radioactive is a Trump Tweet in rads?
I am surprised he tried to obtain radioactive material, did he not remember that Hillary sold it all to the Russians when she was Secretary of State?
When there are two people in a story with the last name Ryan, does it make sense to use the last name only, as it is in the second paragraph?

Layers and layers of fact checkers and editors.
If the language is ambiguous, then the intent is ambiguity. It is clear (to me) the obvious way to convey the the facts is to use an identifying modifier, right? Speaker Ryan? Speaker of the House Ryan?
Too simple?
Assuming the goal of the piece is to convey facts accurately is where your assumptions lead you astray, and the media lets their mask slip down, revealing their true intentions.
"Son you're gonna drive me to drinkin' if you don't stop driving that hot rod Segway."
At home drawing pictures
Of mountain tops
With him on top
Lemon yellow sun
Arms raised in a V
Dead lay in pools of maroon below
Daddy didn't give attention
Oh, to the fact that mommy didn't care
King Jeremy the wicked
Oh, ruled his world
Jeremy spoke in class today
Clearly I remember
Pickin' on the boy
Seemed a harmless little fuck
But we unleashed the lion
Gnashed his teeth and bit the recess lady's breast
How could I forget
And he hit me with a surprise left
My jaw left hurting
Dropped wide open
Just like the day
Oh like the day I heard
Daddy didn't give affection
And the boy was something that mommy wouldn't wear
King Jeremy the wicked
Ruled his world
Jeremy spoke in class today
Criminally violent mentally ill retards seem to be the voter base of the left in Wisconsin. I doubt this will get much media attention, as there is too much invested in promoting the fake dildo "pipe bombs" sent to CNN and lefty political figures (but I repeat myself.)
Couldn't someone have just sold him a bit of chewed bubblegum labelled "Polonium-210" just to see what he does with it?
"If you are ordering radioactive material vie the internet, it generally arrives in a lead-lined steel containment vessel."
If the radiation doesn't kill you the extra postage will.
Anyone hear about the man recently convicted of threatening to murder a New Jersey Congressman and his staff? No? I wonder why? Yes, the Congressman is a Republican. https://www.justice.gov/usao-nj/pr/new-jersey-resident-convicted-threatening-murder-congressman-staff
"I hope they let Paul Blart make the arrest."
Paul Blart? Fuck him! The man for the job is Ronnie Barnhardt!
His Wikipedia page : https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeremy_Ryan
"The New York Times reported in 2015 that "shortly after the Russians announced their intention to acquire a majority stake in Uranium One, [former President Bill] Clinton received $500,000 for a Moscow speech from a Russian investment bank with links to the Kremlin that was promoting Uranium One stock." In total, $145 million went to the Clinton Foundation from interests linked to Uranium One, which was acquired by the Russian government nuclear agency Rosatum."
And Hillary will yet again be the Democratic nominee.
Because on the left, criminality is one big yawn.
"I think I'm going to have a heart attack and die from NOT surprise." Iago the parrot.
Jeremy attended the Liberal Arts, Madison Area Technical College...
Huh? Say what? Is that a place where you're taught how to deconstruct an HVAC system?
Hilarious to see progressives on Twitter now claiming Segway boy is a Republican.

Did they ever really have it? I've heard liberalism (not classical but the new and 'improved' progressive version) is a form of mental illness. He sounds like a rather typical example to me.
Remember, kids, "radioactive" is about as particular and specific as "warm" or "light emitting".
Plainly the "right" way to accumulate a dose that can gack someone is to order it in tiny amounts and assemble it yourself, perhaps by collecting a whack of smoke detectors.
(And of course "lethal" is a rough one to determine; if it kills them via colorectal cancer in 20 years, does that count?
Or are we talking acute radiation poisoning? Because that's ... much more difficult to arrange.)
What, was he going to kill someone and try to make it look like Russia did it?
Maybe this was a wannabe boy scout building a nuclear reactor out in the shed?
Hah, right! Murderous Democrat activist intending to kill Republicans.... as common a story nowadays as "Dog bites man!"
Humperdink:
"Post office policy requires the recipient to assist in jerking the vessel off the rear of post office delivery vehicle."
Does the Post Office explain how to jerk off the vessel, or is that left to the recipient?
Bushman - that's why the media leaves out the (D).
Per his Wiki blurb, he is fighting brain cancer. I hope he is successful on that very hard long slog. I know many who were not.
Jeremy attended the Liberal Arts, Madison Area Technical College...
"Huh? Say what? Is that a place where you're taught how to deconstruct an HVAC system?"
Maybe he learned how to make bombs, or at least fake bombs.
Anyway, majoring in Liberal Arts at a technical college means he was too academically challenged to get into a university, had no hands-on vocational skills, or was too STEM-challenged to major in something mechanical or technical, probably all of the above.
Fernandistein,
I understood your reference immediately. Good one!
I have seen arguments that right-wing thugs have KILLED, while left-wing thugs have only intimidated or injured.
This seems to imply that right-wing violence is worse not because of intent, but because of results; that is right-wing, right-wing thugs are not necessarily more hateful or violent, they are just more effective.
I don't find that argument very convincing.
"Temujin said...

Spirochetes.
"in jerking the vessel off the rear of post office delivery vehicle."
Whoa. That sounds like a lot of people might end up covered in radiation.
I never want to hear another word about left-wing violence again!!! - some moron
If this guy were an R -t he major news media would be reporting.
Any one seen Inga since this arrest?
Newsweek's lead:
"The FBI arrested a former Wisconsin Republican congressional candidate who they say was attempting to buy a lethal dose of a radioactive substance online in order to kill someone."
Fernandistein,
Did you say, Radioactive substances?
Sigivald:
"order it in tiny amounts and assemble it yourself, perhaps by collecting a whack of smoke detectors."
That's exactly how I assembled a pretty decent source when I was a kid. (Never would have occurred to me to try to hurt someone with it, I was just screwing around.)
Anyway I'd be curious to know what he thought he was ordering.
Nothing is going to happen to the guy. Remember that the perpetrators of the bombing of Sterling Hall on the UW campus — the three that were caught — only served seven years, three years, and three years, respectively, despite murdering a physics postdoc (leaving behind a WiFi’s with three small children) and leaving another postdoc permanently crippled. Being a lefty in Madison means you can get away with murder. Literally.
