Overkill? I mean, maybe the old guy is just a tad mentally ill or something. An FBI case over this? Come on.

[oxcart]

Was this John Kerry? John Kerry arrested?/s

[LaineyDee]

I wonder if Kerry is next? lol

[GrandEagle]

Overkill? - NO

[digger48]

[hardworking]

What's John Kerry doing in Wisconsin??

[newnhdad]

John Fing Kerry was arrested?? Why do they always wait until Friday to make these announcements?
Will there be associated crimes like treason, impersonating a human being and assaulting a secret service agent while skiing?

[dogcaller]

How about we do something more relevant to our time than this old man...let's start by finding what, if anything, treason means in this day and age. The New York Times and the person who leaked the SWIFT data mining operation should be so charged on Monday morning.

He's only 60 and has apparently been pretending to have been awarded medals which he hadn't earned. Mentally ill? Perhaps, but definitely not that old a guy.

Since he has been accused of breaking is federal law, it's got to be handled by the FBI or some other federal agency.

Let me guess. The guys name is Murtha, right?

How old does one have to be to start getting away with pleading "old"? The article reports a witness saying "...Richardson was wearing medals that he had not earned for years.." How old was the guy when he started doing it? Where does one draw the line which says "beyond this age you can be forgiven for doing stupid crap"?

[Ditto]

John Stateson, a World War II veteran, served on the Fond du Lac American Legion firing squad with Richardson.

Now that a SERIOUS Legion post. My post has an honor guard that fires salutes at funerals, and they're pretty quick to suspend members who get out of line at the bar, but they haven't resorted to firing squads yet. ;~))

Sure why not! It's about time we make a poster boy out of one of these phonies.

[weegee]

I thought this was an article about Kinky Friedman wearing his father's medals.

[weegee]

Or Mayor Nagin...

[thoughtomator]

At least he has a bright future as a Democrat candidate.

[Big Guy and Rusty 99]

Did they arrested John Murtha?

[Tammy8]

You need to do some research about military posers. I think the only thing wrong is that current punishment is not nearly enough, surely not overkill.

[Big Guy and Rusty 99]

Did they arrested John Murtha?

[JoeSixPack1]

OK,, all you clowns making jokes about this can kiss my butt.

Fakes, frauds and wannabees that wear unearned, unrecorded, unjustified medals deserve a beating, including sKerry.

But as much as I hate that traitor, he at least has a papertrail leading to his false earning of them. The fraud in this story just decided to pin them on himself.

Kerry, party of one, your courtroom is ready.
