A judge ordered Monday that a foul-mouthed Bronx man must face federal charges for telling the IRS: “Go f–k yourself.”
Enrique Santiago went on the typo- and profanity-laced rant in a letter to the IRS after the agency mistakenly sent a notice last May that was addressed to his same-named nephew at his West Farms residence, according to papers filed in Manhattan federal court. The IRS was trying to collect $3,032.57 in unpaid taxes from Santiago’s nephew — named Enrique A. Santiago — who had moved out a month earlier after a “physical altercation” with his uncle. The uncle returned the letter to sender, but not before adding a flurry of his own X-rated messages under the guise of his nephew. “I do not live at this address anymore so go f–k yourself,” Santiago allegedly scrawled on the first page of the IRS notice Link |

Something tells me the "Federal charges" have to do not with what he wrote but with the "white powder" he put in the envelope.
|
|
Yeah, he stuffed a white powdery substance in the envelope.
Thread title is click bait bullcrap |
|
This probably had a lot more to do with the charges that the F-bomb did:
Santiago also allegedly stuffed the letter with a white “powder,” which placed a Suffolk County IRS office under lockdown for several hours last June before cops realized it was a substance used in soap. Feds busted Santiago on charges of false information and hoaxes and mailing a threatening communication after he allegedly admitted to the sick joke.

dude wasn't exactly the brightest crayon in the light bulb drawer
|

At first I was like, "Go Fuck Yourself" + IRS...What's wrong with that?
Then I saw the little thing about white powder.... |
|
Well you certainly tried to get everyone up in a tizzy with the IRS OP. Better luck next time
|
|
|
Also impersonating someone else with a government agency can't be all that legal either.
|
|
Didn't know a bit of flour is a felony.
I feel safer already. |
|
|
I suspect there's a non-zero possibility that the Bronx guy did not put any white powder anywhere. In other words, piss off the party hacks and they make sure you go down.

OP sucks.

I vaguely remember some case law that allows you to express your dislike for taxing authorities, even on the memo of your check to them, as long as it's not a threat.
"Go fuck yourself" is not a threat. So I assume there is more to this story. |

When was the last time a letter was mailed to government facility in the US that contained actual dangerous powdery substances, like anthrax, ricin, etc? Lots and lots of hoaxers send send powdery substances in the mail to government building when they feel somehow slighted by the government. Are you okay with that? Do you support that? Should there be any consequences to that? Would you encourage it? Do you believe it to be "free speech"? |

Didn't know a bit of flour is a felony. I feel safer already. View Quote Oh please - we all know what white flour looks like. We all know what happens when an agency receives a letter that looks like it has Anthrax in it. Stop playing stupid. The guy knew what he was doing. If he would have sent glitter, no harm. But "white powder" - please you are being purposely ignorant. |

He may not have sent a bomb threat, but I guaran-GodDamn-tee he knew that an envelope containing a powdery substance would send the IRS office into full shutdown mode after the anthrax letters mailed around the Nation immediately after 9/11. The substance may not have been illegal, but his actions and intentions with it sure as shit were. Much like my Glock is 19 is legal, but waving it around in a crowded room with the intention of scaring people sure as shit isn't legal. |

You don't tug on Superman's cape, you don't spit into the wind, you don't pull the mask of that old Lone Ranger and you don't mess around with the IRS.
Not very catchy, but until we can get them disbanded it's the God's own truth. Cheat all you want, but when they come for you wanting money, you smile, write them a check and say "Thank you sir, can I have some more?". |
