COLUMBIA RESIDENT CLAIMS HE WAS FALSELY ACCUSED OF DEVISING BOMB THREAT (Rough Draft)

A flyer found at a bus stop at the University of Missouri includes claims that three individuals and the Curators of the University of Missouri have falsely reported a bomb threat on the University. The individuals named in the flyer are William A. Mitchell, Marvin Wright, and Phillip Hoskins. The writer of the flyer is Columbia resident Paul Love.

An excerpt from the flyer reads: “They have in civil cased raised the defense that as an instrument to the State they might willfully and maliciously falsely report a bomb threat. In violation of oaths to support and uphold the constitution they have sought to deliberately suppress the constitutional right to falsify a bomb threat, having at all times struggled to avoid their obligation to prove the allegations, the aforementioned are deemed to have knowingly falsified and reported a bomb threat with intent to harm the public.”

In a comment responding to an article in the Columbia Tribune, a user under the name of “Paul_Love” mentioned that he was the one accused of making the bomb threat.

“In my case they simply thought it was acceptable to report I made a bomb threat with detailed plans on the types of devices to use [and] where I was going to place them,” the user said in the comment, “because I had been in the military, I had access to the explosives and the training to use them.”

The flyer cites Supreme Court Case 08-6102, which is listed as “Paul Love v. University of Missouri.” As of November 2008, it is a certiorari denied case of the U.S. Supreme Court.
