D FROM: ycholinguistics RE: United States Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall - Victim; - Extortion A! 00: Savannah LABID: 70923016 Photofacsimile of a one page typewritten communication was transmitted through the Laboratory with request for psycholinguistic evaluation. Based upon an analysis of the content and style of this comunication, it is my judgment that the author is a high school educated, Southern born, white male approximately between the ages of 55 and 70. There are no indicators of specialized skills or training. There is no reason to doubt the veracity of the author's manif assertion of identity. Although this communication evidences some paranoid ideation which is disquieting because of its association with violent action, the author's threats are couched in the vague and general language that is not typically associated with the precusors of imminent violent action. It is significant that the author, while expressing his own desires for action throughout the letter, ends the communication with the hope that someone other than himself might effect such action, Such language is consistent with someone struggling with his own sense of powerlessness. It is consistent with the self- indulgent ventilation of emotion generally characterizing the communication. The ideation is bigotly conservative and, although the level of hostility and maledictory terms is outside the typical boundaries of this genre of political hyperbole, the author fails to demonstrate either the determination or the resolve to escalate his anger beyond these types of harassments. 01/12/88
