Jewell is the Militia Bomber!!!!

The security guard Jewell is now confirmed to be the prime suspect. While NBC News is reporting that no evidence _directly_ links him to the bombing, the evidence against him is overwhelming: 1. He is overweight. With the exception of The Unabomber, most perps in cases like this are fat. 2. They found a _shotgun_ in his cabin. 3. He had an interest in guns. (Back issues of "Guns and Ammo" are bad enough, but possession of even a single issue of "Combat Handguns" is sufficient to convict in 39 of the 50 states.) 4. News sources are reporting that authorities who searched his apartment and his cabin "came up empty," which surely implies that he planned this crime with the help of others. --Tim May (P.S. I, too, was convinced Jewell was the guy. But in recent hours it is looking like a "rush to judgment" could be involved. There is strong pressure to "solve the crime" by the close of the Olympics on Sunday.) Boycott "Big Brother Inside" software!

This is almost as amusing as the evidence cited by the Feds in the roundup of militia members a couple of days ago. They told us in perfect seriousness that one of them had fired tennis balls out of a metal tube filled with hair spray, and that another had filed for bankruptcy. Obvious warning signs. :) Of course bail was denied to protect the community. -- Mike Duvos $ PGP 2.6 Public Key available $ mpd@netcom.com $ via Finger. $

Yes, a public hanging would be a fine way to end the Olympics. After all, this is Georgia we're talking about ...

Au contraire: Let me have men about me that are fat; Sleek-headed men, and such as sleep o' nights: Yond Cassius has a lean and hungry look; He thinks too much: such men are dangerous. [...] He reads much; He is a great observer, and he looks Quite through the deeds of men: he loves no plays, As thou dost, Antony: he hears no music: Seldom he smiles; and smiles in such a sort As if he mock'd himself, and scorn'd his spirit That could be mov'd to smile at anything. Which member of the Dream Team does this remind you of?

All I know is: 1. At least one person is dead, and lots more injured. 2. For nothing. Ferchrissakes, guys, take a step back and look at yourselves. You're playing the spin control game just as fast and furious as the "bad guys" (?). First the glee over how easy it was to find bomb-making instructions anywhere, then saying it was a provocation by the government, now it becomes a conspiracy against fat people who read gun magazines. -rich [blue-ribbon disclaimer: it's called sarcasm, son, SARCASM] censor the internet! http://www.stanford.edu/~llurch/potw2/ boycott fadetoblack! http://www.fadetoblack.com/prquest.htm
