On April 1, 17 mysterious boxes wrapped in gold with question marks on them showed up in the town of Ravenna, OH. Alarmed residents reported them to the police department, who then called out the bomb squad and hazardous materials squad. The boxes were found to be empty. Five 16-17 year-old girls claimed responsibility for deploying the boxes. Ravenna Police Chief Randall McCoy referred the case to the county prosecutor’s office for possible criminal charges.
Department of Homeland Security Deputy Press Secretary Brian J. Doyle says that he will personally interview these girls to see if they should be held as enemy combatants. DHS officials will consider boosting the per-capita homeland security grant to Ravenna, already at 27x New York City’s, even further to combat the city’s mounting terrorist threats, such as terrorists masquerading as actual delivery people to leave dangerous boxes around town in suspicious-looking boxes with “Amazon” printed on them (clearly a terrorist cell marking).
