    I think he misunderstood how the sending a finger scheme works… 😅 You don’t send your own finger.

      it sends the message: “if I am ok with chopping off my own finger, then do you think I will be stopped by anything you can throw at me? And if I’m crazy enough to do it, what do you think I will do once I get anywhere near your, or people you love the most, like yourself?”

        It’s also a bit daft, because not only do they now have your fingerprint, but your DNA and all the other unique identifiers that come with your blood and flesh.

        I suspect that it won’t be long until they’re found, unless they’re one of the few people who are totally off the system.

          From the article:

          “According to French newswire AFP, the fingertip belonged to the package’s sender, who has a psychiatric condition.”

          It could be an innocent’s person finger.

          It’s not too fantastic to think that a person was kidnapped by people with masks (or drugged at a bar or something), then they chopped their finger.

          Awful.

            The article mentions that the French newswire AFP says that the fingertip belonged to the package’s sender, who has a psychiatric condition.

            Of course that also could be that due to him having that condition maybe somebody tricked him into doing it and it wasn’t his all his own idea.

            Oh okay! I had missed that piece of info. Awful either way.

          They should have tattooed their name and address on the finger and saved investigators a trip to the lab.
