2. Probably attacked by Republicans...
they were angry that he was spending their tax dollars instead of earning a living as a migrant crop worker.

6. I assumed this headline was about B*sh's VA budget.
Cutting Veteran's HealthCare funding while creating
20 thousand new injured veterans.

4. Now we know why none of the PNAC men enlisted for Nam.
It's not worth it to fight someone else's war.

10. Barney Goodman lived long enough to give police description of attacker.
Edited on Tue Sep-05-06 12:23 PM by Lone_Star_Dem
It appears it was both.

From the article:

It was an off-duty officer who saw Goodman and called for help.

Goodman was rushed by Life Flight to Memorial Hermann Hospital, but didn't survive.

Before Goodman died, he was able to give police a description of the suspect and his vehicle.

His family is devastated by the cruel manner in which he died

7. I'm not religious, but I do hope there is a Hell.
Some people really do deserve to rot in Hell. The evil that men do.

12. Roughly what the Republicans did to Max Cleland
I'm never going to forgive those fuckwads. They're no better than this scumbag or scumbags.

13. I hope they catch the pathetic beasts that did this...
...and let them rot in a small, dark cell for a long, long, time.

:grr:
