1. MSRNC's video doesn't work for me
I have the programs they want, but it won't accept it

2. Sorry - I don't know how it all works.
Maybe someone else will capture and put up as a different format.

The primary browser is AOL, but I rarely use it

10. Many crosses had flags on them -- imagine if our side had done this.

14. If our side had done it, they would have hung the fellow from the
nearest tree and then shouted "justifiable homicide - what a traitor"

Thanks for the reply, I forgot about the flags on the crosses.

21. I edited the subject line to reflect the crosses as well...
I obviously haven't had enough coffee yet this morning, as I've had to edit three times.

8. He had pieces of the crosses
caught beneath his truck. They're planning on charging the man with criminal mischief.

Way to go, Crawford police!

19. Texas Hate Crime Act
This has to be pursued. It covered intimidation and vandalism.

13. It basically says (and shows) 500 crosses damaged/destroyed
Edited on Tue Aug-16-05 11:15 AM by thecrow
by a local pickup truck late last night.
Local man arrested! They found pieces of the crosses lodged under his truck.

Boy that is mean spirited and the lowest of the low!!!!!

15. It worked for me, thanks.
(First they make you sit through an On-Star commercial, though.)

Pretty decent report. They mention Cindy was at a "local house" at the time of the incident. Guess they don't want to use the term "Peace House." Can't let people know there is a peace movement in Crawford separate and apart from Cindy. Have to reinforce the myth that this is 100% Bush country.

20. It does not work in Firefox
but I opened IE browser, went to msnbc and found the video. Worked fine. I am so happy they caught that jerk. And to think he is the owner of a realty company in Waco. What a loser.

22. i did see the video--it worked for me...
they are reporting on having found a truck with pieces of the crosses and flowers that were plowed down at Casey Camp late last night (or was it early this morning?)...anyhow, crawford authorities are planning to charge the owner with criminal mischief . now i don't know anything about the law in texas or elsewhere since i am not an attorney, so forgive me for asking, but is "criminal mischief" something akin to slapping someone on the wrist with a wet noodle?

What i mean is, are there serious consequences to such a charge?

was the driver someone paid by bush, his goons, karl rove, mess rice, poppy, mommy or rumsfeld?

certainly, if the driver wasn't paid by him, he was given the emotional charge to do what he did by the rethoric which spews out of each of their mouths and by the MSM which fails to point out that,
bush's words of compassion, patriotism and freedom of speech are false coming out of his mouth since he has no compassion, his patriotism is not american as it reeks of high fascist corporatism and, freedom of speech in his world does not exist, being, as it is, that dissenters are punished, placed in freedom of speech pens far away from bush where he does not listen to them, does not look at them, and whisks right by them if they happen to be on a road in texas which leads to his pig farm.

i wonder how much they paid they truck driver to mow down those crosses in an attempt to plant fear and intimidation inside camp casey.
