He risked his life to save others and the FBI turned the table on him.

And at one point it was claimed he staged it all to look like a hero.

The Boston Herald called him The Uni-Bubba.

Mean but very funny.

From Wikipedia:

“Jewell died on August 29, 2007 from injuries suffered in a mountain lion attack.”

Prayers to his loved ones.

Jewell was the first victim of smearsby the modern 24 hours news cycle and the Drive By Media, IMO.

the FBI confiscated his mother's tupperware collection and family photographs. When these items were returned, many pieces of the tupperware had been broken, and the photographs were ripped apart.

Yet more evidence that FBI or BATF agents are nothing other than jack-booted thugs. If they're not ripping apert family pictures they are kicking kittens to death. The ones that don't report it are as guilty as the ones that do it. G. Gordon Liddy had it right when he said aim for the head to avoid the vest.

That's funny. A few minutes ago. Wikipedia said that he died from a mountain lion attack:

When is he going to decide how he died? From Wikipedia:

“Jewell died on August 28, 2007. He died from complications related to diabetes and obesity.”

Just a Wannabe Hero? He was doing his job and risked his life for other. Far from a Wannabe Hero.

Eric Rudolph copped a plea that included an admission of guilt for that incident.

Hmmm...maybe he was wandering the woods, in an insulin-induced shock, when he happened upon a hungry mountain lion. Sadly, because of his largess, he was unable to run away quickly enough.

Therefore, diabetes, the mountain lion, and obesity all killed him!!

Is there a YouTube of this?

I couldn't find one of Richard Jewell punching Janet Reno, but here's a link to the Weekend Update from that episode, where Norm McDonald interviews him.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kUMXA29nSpU

I like the way Jewell can't straight face. It's a testament to Jewell's sense of humor as well as McDonald's comedic skills.

Too bad Leroy, his esteemed attorney, is busy chasing down people who have implied that Howard K. Stern was involved in the deaths of Anna Nicole Smith and her son Daniel, just because Stern administered the drugs that killed them.

He’s starting with John O’Quinn cuz he thinks he can get his grubby hands on some of those nifty cars. Sheesh, with Patsy Ramsey gone and now Richard Jewell, Leroy’s going to have to have baby Dannielynn as his new poster child.

Sincere condolences to Jewell’s family - it was a sad episode in the annals of justice. Even sadder that a swine like Leroy Wood makes money from such.

Wikipedia may be the biggest source of misinformation and lies in modern history. It’s the official encyclopedia of useful idiots everywhere.

AP has picked up the story. Noteworthy that they leave out the part where he successfully sued NBC News and other news media for destroying his reputation based on unnamed sources, having never once been arrested or charged. As usual, the media ignores their own crimes.

Not the Tupperware! That’s right up there with kicking the cat to death. Settlements of estates and divorces have bogged down over who gets the Tupperware, especially the classic pieces.

“Jewell died on August 29, 2007 from injuries suffered in a mountain lion attack.”

Holy smoke, now we know why the vast left wing conspiracy, environazis, communists, PETA, ALF and ELF conspired to protect mountain lions.

They were training the lions to assassinate American heroes and conservatives. It all makes sense now.

Kidding aside, the left did assassinate Jewell. Then and now.
