The Indians have reason to be nervous.

Trivia :

AUGUST 1, 1984 : (TACOMA, WA : JAMAAT UL FUQRA ASSASSINATION OF NEVASKAR, INDIAN GOVERNMENT COURIER LELA NEVASKAR -) al-Fuqra "Muhammad Commandos" or "Soldiers of Allah" are suspects in the assassination in Tacoma, WA of Lela Nevaskar, a courier for then-Indian President Indira Gandhi. Some local and state law enforcement agencies acknowledge that their investigations of some of the assassinations were hampered because they were unaware of Fuqra's existence. On occasion, local police departments learned only years later that evidence found in another part of the country linked the Fuqra to crimes in their cities. That, for instance, was the case in Tacoma, where the Aug. 1, 1984, murder of Lela Nevaskar, a courier for then-Indian President Indira Gandhi, and her sister and brother-in-law, Indira and Pramod Gadre, remains an open case. Jim O'Hern, a Pierce County detective who investigated the triple homicide, said he initially believed the killers were Sikh militants, since the murders occurred several weeks after the Indian government had raided the Sikhs' holiest shrine, the Golden Temple in Amritsar, India, killing hundreds. What appeared to have been a Sikh warning of impending revenge had been mailed in July to Indians in Seattle and elsewhere, ordering them to leave the United States by Aug. 1."We looked at the Sikhs because of the hate literature," O'Hern said.

As long as I am even a lowly 1/250,000,000th common-share owner of The White House, then it is **MY** house dammit.

And I want a full explanation as to exactly what the hell went on over there on my property.
