“After inspecting the sandwich, the officer found the blade.”
Calling bullsh#t on this one.
Methinks the pig lies. No one is stupid enough to be THAT obvious… too easy to track down.
BULLSHIT.
NO DUMBASS WOULD PUT A “SINGLE EDGED SAFETY RAZOR BLADE” IN FOOD FOR A BOOBY TRAP. EITHER THAT, OR THE PERPETRATOR WAS ONE DUMB SONOFABITCH.
THIS IS WHAT ANY SERIOUS “CRIMINAL” WOULD HAVE USED;
