Didn’t know it was dangerous. Looked it up on YouTube.

Read it was liquid silver. Only made $40.

No intent. So like Hillary Clinton the FBI will release him without charges. All is forgiven.

Bail set at $5000. So you can cost businesses what $50,000 in an afternoon, more if you count the loss of income, good will, and reputation. A 1/10 of the damage for the bail.

A day before, he also had a mercury spill (release) at an ER he was visiting when it fell out of his backpack during triage.

The ER was shut down for decontamination, patients transferred etc. That room is still closed.

Police were called and he had no ID, he gave them his name, but misspelled it, and he had no warrants, so he was not detained. (Really)

How about the questions: hey kid what are you doing with a glass bottle of mercury in your pocket? Where did you get it?

BTW how did he get to the hospital? Mom drive him?

Arrested for outstanding drug warrant, improper disposal of a hazardous material.

Released some Mercury inside the Walmart. No signs saying don’t release Mercury inside our store. Mercury inside the McDonalds. Apparently selling the vials of Mercury. Got 9 lbs, from a vacant lab nearby.

Drug possession warrant. Do you think?

Taken into custody by the FBI. Poured in three places in the parking lots of three businesses.

A chemical spill, to me is an accident. Pouring a chemical is a deliberate act.

Hmm. Talking to the FBI, sounds risky to me.

They are saying 40 to 60 people decontaminated.

They are saying pints now.

They are saying poured now in three locations.

They are saying criminal investigation.

Glad it wasn’t lake Houston. ( our water supply )

Today’s Texas “what the hay”

https://www.click2houston.com/news/loca ... cials-say/

Man hospitalized after a massive mercury spill at Westiew and Beltway 8.

No one knows why he had so much mercury. Area is quarantined. Guys it’s going to rain tomorrow. Better get that all up.

Anyone remember someone breaking a thermometer, and spending hours pushing it all together into one small bubble, then rubbing it with our fingers into a silver dime and making the dime really shinny.

Somehow we grew up.

Not sure how but we did.
