Here it is, nic. It is shocking. This kid committed an act that most serial killers admit to. He didn't just hang the dog (that would be bad enough), but he slit it's throat, and then stoned it!

The REALLY bad part of this story is that Huck (as Governor) covered for him, and prevented him from being arrested and prosecuted.

Huckabee Son Hangs Dog - Father Fires Cop

Well, truth be told, I read about that on SNOPES. According to SNOPES, the latter portion you mentioned is what is in dispute....nothing has been “proven” except that Huckabee’s son was involved, he was fired from the Boy Scout camp (or whatever) because “Boy Scouts must be kind,” and someone in Huckabee’s staff was later fired.

Of course, it doesn’t take much to “connect the dots” or a long leap to speculate that the “rest of the story” (as you stated) is likely true.

Pretty gruesome.

from your thread, yorkie (something else I didn't know about this same son):

8 months ago [i.e., April 2007]...the same son was arrested for carrying a gun onto an aircraft.
