In Bethesda? That's a rather unlikely place to be robbed, unless you're talking about excessive legal fees.

Aw jeez.....just damn.

I can't say more...I would be banned.

[mware]

thanks for the link. you have mail again.

[Coop]

Got it, thanks. I've found out some more about this young man, so we've got a back-up plan if he's not around when I visit WRAMC.

[mware]

Marine Corp bumps.

[Coop]

Speaking of the USMC, where's that wonderful ping list of yours?

[Cobra64]

It would be nice if all of Quantico marine personnel were temporarily assigned to that precinct in civilian clothing.

Now *that* is a terrific idea. I bet the hospitals would be overflowing with patients with broken limbs.

Ping

Wonder if Mark Levin has this information??

How about it Mark, give this Marine a shout out tonight.

Ya know pissant where were you when folks were whining about the race of the perps that beat up two soldiers then everyone DISAPPEARED when they found out the two soldiers were BLACK? When everyone didn't know the race of the two victims, people were demanding to have big interal investigations,wanting to send the soldiers money UNTIL everyone found out the soldiers were black. The media isn't the only group with double standards. It exists right here on FR.

[Coop]

Folks, this is about a family that's been victimized. It's not about race or placing the blame.

Notice how quiet the thread got when the perps' predicted race was replaced by folks wanting to actually do something for the family?

While we're talking about double standards on FR -- let's talk about those who talk, and those who do.

[mware]

Lets not make this all about race. This is about an American hero who was attacked along with his wife.

Lets channel this to helping this man and his family.

$500 is a hell of a lot of money for anyone much less someone who will have medical issues the rest of his life.

[cyborg]

I would love to send a card to this man when his address is found.

[pissant]

You are talking to the wrong person. I don't recall any thread where I even cared one bit what color the victims were. The ONLY reason I bring it up to to point out the PC Bullshit. Regardless of the perp, identify the race. There was a stroy last night someone posted that described the perp as a male 5-10 to 6-0 between 180 and 200 lbs. Gee, that helps, doesn't it?

In fact you will notice if you go back far enough, that I railed mightily against the disgusting media coverage of pretty blonde coeds being killed when there are black, brown, & poor white children being victimized everyday throughout this country. If they would focus on those crimes with equal fervor, maybe we wouldn't have 1000s of missing women and girls of all races.

Sorry, I just ain't the racist you presume I am.

[mware]

coop i working on that. way to go my FRiend.

[taxed2death]

"And the perps were what race again???"

....and how ironic would it be if these perps were illegals?

[bert]

was there any trace of pink at the scene?
