1. Good, we have a name.

Now, off to see if he's a registered Republican.

[KaryninMiami]

9. Well we already know he's a registered asshole- Republican or not...

Talk about an uncompassionate, pathetic waste of a human... May he rot in jail and be charged a huge fine. May he also be forced to put each of those crosses back in place, one by one, and repair all of the ones he has destroyed.

[Kire]

2. Those Northerners are ruining everything.

Texas for the Texans!

13. Ha!! ...hey...that means me

Irony Alert- Larry Northern on Larry Lynch (Sheriff)

http://www.baylor.edu/lariat/news.php?action=story&story=15803

Baylor parent and Woodway resident Larry Northern said he decided to support Lynch because he was 'honest, straight-shooting and moral.' Northern said Lynch's favorite saying was, 'Don't do crime because you're going to do the time.'

[TexasLady]

16. possibly graduated from Richfield High

if its same guy.
never mind, cant be..class of 64

[Avalux]

17. Oh my! How funny!

So I wonder if Lynch walked over to his supporter's cell and said "I told you Larry, don't do crime because you're going to do the time". :rofl:

12. We should all be thankful he didn't elect to take out the

tent, just the crosses & flags. People, this could have been a lot worse.

[Vickers]

14. What branch of the military did this guy serve in?

:shrug:

I mean, I'm *sure* he served his country, and probably lost a lot of friends in battle, and that's why he feels compelled to protest Cindy. :sarcasm:

Maybe you have a different guy; if the daughters graduated in the early 80s wouldn't they be almost as old as him?

[NervousRex]

31. I think....

Those are their birth years.

[magellan]

30. How could a 46-year-old have daughters who graduated

...college in '81 and '83? Unless I'm reading this wrong?

Folks, please be careful!
