What is the latest on the destruction of the crosses?
Do we have the name of the guy who did it? Has he made any statements? Is he a Bush supporter, or just pissed that people are near his land?

11. Thanks...my mom just called me since she knows I'm going down there
on Friday.

She's rather concerned about the cockroaches that are coming out to play. She said Imus was disgusting this morning in his portrayal of Cindy.

29. Apparently he said that Cindy was "working for" MoveOn and
other left wing groups.

Gee, I guess that means she's also working for TrueMajority, DFA, United for Peace and Justice, too, since thay are all co-sponsoring the Wednesday vigils now.

Together they must reach about 10-15 milion people.

So then she must be working for a lot us!

This MAY be legitimate after all. I found the name Larry Northern listed in a newsletter for the "San Antonio Rifle & Pistol Club". The web site is as follows:

http://www.sarandpclub.org/ShotOut/2001-09-ShotOut.htm

If I would have found that he had donated money to leftist causes, then I think this would have been pegged. But, like I said before, I would not put anything past liberals.

Then, the discussion stopped. :evilgrin:

I'd never visited there and, quite frankly, I never will again. I can't believe those idiots are actually condoning his act of Terrorism! One guy said he wants to shake his hand and serve on his jury! Fuckin freepers are ALL crazy!

16. I haven't got very far and have been saying this far and wide
But under Texas law, it meets the criteria for a HATE crime. Can you take that and run?
Under the Texas Hate Crime Law, mowing down crosses would be included. I think we need to make sure this avenue is pursued and that this man is prosecuted fully under the statute.
It defines crimes that are motivated by hatred and prejudice.
The statute reads that the Hate Crime offense information falls into eight index crimes, (paraphrased) including intimidation and vandalism.

But you have to love the irony of this:
"Governor Bush worked against this law and has said that he will not make a decision to sign it until it comes to his desk. In his opposition he has
always said "I've always said all crime is hate crime."
