Am I to beleive that the guy in this artical that shot a cop and was killed was known to post on free republic? How does one find that out?

Another poster knew him outside the forum. From what I understand, it was a telephone friendship.

Well, I guess the only way you could really 100% prove it is to ask JimRob to check the records for whatever his freeper name was and see if his real name and state matches up, but I doubt that's something he'd be willing to do. In any case, the freeper that posted the deleted thread about this vouched for him and said that he/she had talked on the phone with him very often over the last X numbers of years.
