[WCBB] The Boston Police Department is asking for the public's help in identifying a man in connection with a fire that was set inside a ballot drop box in the city.
Secretary of the Commonwealth William Galvin contacted U.S. Attorney Andrew Lelling's office after he was notified of the incident Sunday morning. He is also calling on the FBI to investigate what appears to be a deliberate attack.
The Boston Elections Department notified Galvin's office that the fire was set at about 4 a.m. in the ballot drop box outside of the Boston Public Library's main branch in Copley Square.
Boston police said officers responded at 4:11 a.m. to the area of 700 Boylston St., which is the location of the library's main branch. When they arrived at the scene, the officers saw Boston firefighters tending to smoke coming from the ballot box.
Galvin told NewsCenter 5's Julie Loncich that it appears a sophisticated incendiary device was used to start the fire, as the damage to the interior plastic lining of the ballot drop box was severe.
The ballot box appeared to be on fire, but firefighters were unable to determine if the fire was burning on the inside, according to police. Crews were eventually able to extinguish the fire by filling the box with water.
When the drop box was emptied Sunday morning, 87 of the 122 ballots inside were legible and able to be processed. The last time the box had been emptied prior to the fire was just before 2:30 p.m. Saturday.
Galvin told NewsCenter 5's Julie Loncich that it appears a sophisticated incendiary device was used to start the fire, as the damage to the interior plastic lining of the ballot drop box was severe.
That sounds like Antifa/BLM...
In announcing their investigation, the U.S. Attorney's office and the FBI issued a statement saying in part, "For the next several weeks, it is a top priority of our offices to help maintain the integrity of the election process in Massachusetts by aggressively enforcing federal election laws."
Police released photos of a man who they are looking to identify as part of their ongoing arson investigation.
Boston voters who used the Copley Square drop box between 2:30 p.m. Saturday and 4 a.m. Sunday, and who haven't been able to confirm receipt of their ballot through the state's tracking website, are urged to immediately contact the Boston Elections Department.
Affected voters will be mailed a replacement ballot and can either cast it or vote in-person until 8 p.m. on Election Day, which is Nov. 3. Any affected voters who do not submit a new ballot will have their original ballot hand-counted to the best extent possible, according to Galvin's office.

While speaking with the man, 39-year-old Worldy Armand, police discovered that he had an active warrant out of Ipswich District Court for receiving stolen property and took him into custody.
While he was in police custody, members of the fire investigation unit were able to identify Armand as the suspect in the ballot box fire and charged him with willful and malicious burning.
Armand was arraigned Monday in Boston Municipal Court, where he underwent a mental health evaluation. "I do not believe that this individual is plotting against our democracy. I think that he is emotionally disturbed," said Suffolk County District Attorney Rachael Rollins.

This dude looks a lot like the bum I gave a few cigarettes to last month. He was standing outside the Bank of America ATM on Boylston Street (a few blocks away from the torched ballot box) and I went in to get some $. On the way out I told him 'you're not getting this $20 but I'll give you two smokes.'

I do not believe that this individual is plotting against our democracy. I think that he is emotionally disturbed These two possibilities are not mutually exclusive. A great many of the plotters against our republic ARE emotionally disturbed. Some of these disturbed people are consider "experts" by other disturbed people.

On the way out I told him My dad's way of dealing with street beggars was to speak to them in Polish. The worst response he ever got to that was, "Why don't you speak American, Bud!" He never did met one that understood Polish.

Shame nobody started a write-in campaign for Biden as Senator of Delaware. Would have made a funny protest vote after his gaff that he's running for Senate a couple months ago.
Photo of the definitely cancelled thing can be seen at the link.
[NYPost] The Black Lives Matter mural outside Trump Tower has been vandalized yet again — with a black substance smeared through the middle of the bright yellow sign in the early hours Sunday.
Photos show black paint or tar stretching the full length of the contentious sign outside President Trump’s iconic home on Fifth Avenue.
It was believed to have been left by protesters who suddenly opened the back doors of a van and poured it on around 12.20 a.m., police sources said.
The mural — one of many in high-location sites across the country in support of the protest group — has repeatedly been vandalized since it was commissioned by Mayor Comrade Bill de Blasio ...cryptocommie mayor of New York and for some reason a Dem candidate for president in 2020. Corrupt and incompetent, his qualifications for office seem to consist of being married to a black woman, with whom he honeymooned in Cuba. He has a preppy-looking son named Dante, whose Divine Comedy involved getting his back hair up when a police car drove past him slowly. New Yorkers voted for him, so they deserve him... and then painted on July 9.
Don't attempt to post the source article on FaceBorg. The Borg insists American Thinker is an evil demon of the right.
[AmericanThinker] GTV, a Chinese dissident billionaire’s Taiwan-based media outlet, is releasing sordid, depressing videos and photographs of a person purported to be Hunter Biden engaging in sex and seemingly smoking crack. That’s not the big news. The big news is that the same outlet claims that (a) Communist China owns Joe Biden; (b) Joe Biden sold out CIA assets in China who were then executed or imprisoned; and (c) GTV has millions of images showing other presumably influential people in comprising positions. If all this is true, we may see a complete realignment in Western politics.
The Hunter Biden videos and images are at GTV’s video site. I won’t give the link here because the material is pornographic. However, the following are two cropped pictures. In both, the person appearng to be Hunter is naked and with a woman. In the second picture, Hunter appears to be lighting a crack pipe while engaged in sexual activity with the woman:
See at the link.
What’s more interesting than the images themselves is the story behind them and the allegations included with them. Taiwan-based GTV and GNews, which published the material, are owned by Guo Wengui, a dissent Chinese billionaire.

Time to start hoarding ammunition and toilet paper again. What this country needs is a fully-automatic, belt-fed, crew-operated, toilet paper dispenser.

Few surprises here. NPR is little more than a propaganda tool of the Deep State. Frankly, I am very surprised that the computer repair shop owner is still among the living.

National morning news was a hoot this morning, something like, "Joe has this election wrapped up and is heading home; the proof is how much Trump is campaigning this next week."

And all was serene, from San Quentin
To the Biden campaign's big event in
DC. At the docks,
Vewy quietwy, Knox
Loaded boats with his cannon for Trenton.

Really? Joe you unmasked me 8 days before my father’s inauguration & helped launch the Russia hoax where your corrupt FBI henchmen tried to jail me WHEN YOU ALL KNEW IT WAS A LIE.
[The Post Millennial] One America News Network host Jack Posobiec tweeted Sunday that a source from the Department of Justice told the network that the FBI dropped the investigation due to supposed concerns over the story from the repair shop owner. Concerns were raised over the chain of custody in the case.
The source indicated that the FBI dropped the investigation "because they did not believe the repair shop owner's story would hold up in court, although Mac Isaac provided them with evidence," according to Posobiec, who added that "They found zero evidence of foreign involvement." SMH but not surprised.
Yes, but that was before all sorts of evidence supported by the personal witness of certain involved persons appeared in the press, was tweeted and talked about, and generally became widely known, including to the president. It all becomes much more complicated for the FBI once the big guy gets involved.

Think back a few short months to the Robert Mueller investigation. Imagine the consequences had the FBI uncovered a Trump laptop which contained similar data.

FBI sat on the laptop for a year from what I understand, they couldn't figure out chain of custody in that time? Seems every lawyer who expects to face the FBI in court in the near future is probably smiling.

The FBEye has dropped quite a few investigations that if pursued would have spared the country a great deal of turmoil. What would you call this sedition, treason, obstruction of justice? Unfortunately, it wasn't just the FBEye that was a part of a coup. They tried to set up Trump bigley.
