    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.
