Aw, Shucks!

[shuckmaster]

They oughta give him life in solitary with nothing but a copy of The South Was Right

[wideawake]

Ummm . . . shredding the Stars and Bars is indeed an offense linked to national origin.

[Non-Sequitur]

They can't. The 8th Amendment prevents cruel and unusual punishment. I'm glad they caught him, though. At the very least they should expel his ass even if he doesn't get prison time.

A dormitory prank is "breaking news"? What's next, the results of your kid's election to fifth grade class president, posted in "Breaking"?

Give ME a break.

[Red Jones]

Aw Shucks Bump

[cksharks]

And you contributed how much to Jim Rob that gives you the right to bitch all the time?

[Khepera]

?

[garyhope]

Sounds like a "hate crime" to me.

[wku man]

Television out the window? A person's property torn up? Doesn't sound like a prank to me, carpetbagger. Sounds like he's right where he belongs!

Scouts out! Cavalry Ho!

You missed the point (which doesn't surprise me, since you "neo-Confederates" have the ability only to see one simple point at a time, from my experience). The point is: "Don't put stupid stuff like this in 'Breaking News"'where it takes up space better reserved for REAL news."

I see that seconds after it was posted in "Breaking" it was taken off. So I am right, and you putzes are wrong.

Forget the TV. I'm upset about the flag! [><]

I'll let these boys hold my Remington 870 next time this felon decides to visit in the middle of the nite.

It good to see some finally taking a stand. Our Southern Heritage has been under assault far too long without us taking it seriously. Thanks for the feed shucks! Blackbird.

Weimer declined to discuss Sierpina's alleged motivation but said the investigation determined he was not motivated by

WHY NOT!! Wanna guess the race of the vandal?

``race, color, religion, national origin, sex, sexual orientation or disability,'' all classes that are federally protected from discrimination.

Yeah, as long as you are not a Southern, Christian, heterosexual white guy.

I bet if the jerkoff vandal hadn't trashed the TV, he wouldn't have been charged with the destruction of property crime.

[wku man]

From MY experience, you always seem to show up on posts about the South, all geared and primed to bash my Southern heritage. Yet on your profile, you proudly (presumably) display the Texas flag and state that you're from Katy, TX. You may have a point about the Breaking News thing, but I still have a point that you, sir, are apparently a carpetbagger.

Regarding the post, it may not be Breaking News, but it sure is good to hear about Southerners winning one for a change. Let the criminal who vandalized those guys' property have fun in jail for a while.

Sounds like B&E, Destruction of Private Property, Acts of Malicious Vandalism, or blatant Terrorism would apply here.

I have a better idea, lets ship his ass off to Bahgdad, he seems to fit in with that mentality.

You're entitled to your opinion, as well as your deluded belief that your "heritage" means celebrating criminals who rebelled against the United States.

...it sure is good to hear about Southerners winningwhining about one for a changeas usual.

God bless the United States of America and protect her from all enemies, foreign OR DOMESTIC.

[wku man]

Are you implying I am a domestic criminal because I love my heritage and defend the honor of the South? Let me ask you, sir, how many years did you give to this country in the form of military service? Hmmmmm...'cause I gave 11. What's your service-related disability rating, hmmmm? 'Cause mine's 30%. That means I was permanently hurt in the line of duty, in case you don't know what that means.

I'm hardly a criminal, carpetbagger. I love this country more than almost anything else, and beleive in her principles wholeheartedly (despite the fact that few of our elected "leaders" seem to anymore, or back in 1861). I believe that even South-hating carpetbagging dipsticks like you have the right to live wherever they want, even in Texas, and have the right to mouth whatever moroninc tripe they wish. Heck, I'll even die to defend your right to do so.

But because I stand firm in my belief that the South had every right to throw off the oppression of the North, and that there's nowhere in this great land of ours where I'd rather live, doesn't make me a racist, a slaveowner, a KKK sympathizer, or a criminal... just a Southerner who loves his heritage.

One final thought...I bet you don't say much around Katy, Texas. Your Yankee accent, which you surely must have, would draw attention from the "natives", they'd slap you on the back and say "welcome to Texas", or some other such greeting, and then you'd be forced to recognize how friendly they truly are (like most Southerners). Our knuckles don't drag the ground, either.
