Complaint Filed After Driver Crushes Crosses At Anti-War Protest Site

[Caleb]

Larry Northern, 59, of McLennan County, was charged Tuesday with Criminal Mischief Over $1,500 and under $20,000 after a pickup truck tore through a row of white crosses erected by anti-war protesters gathered near the President’s ranch in Crawford.

Bail was set at $3,000.

The crosses bear the names of U.S. military personnel who have died in the war in Iraq.

Witnesses said the driver swerved the truck in and out of the makeshift memorial Monday night.

The protesters who are camped out in Crawford expressed outrage at the vandalism.

1. The truth hurts!!!!!!!

Not only do they stomp on the graves figuratively, they are doing it literally!

[Loki]

2. Fucking fat, white male republican.

They all look the same - it's time to cut this cancer out of our country.

6. Or as my BF calls them,

"Crusty old white cigar fucks"

[ProfessorGAC]

17. Hey, Watch That Cigar Insult Stuff

I'm white and i smoke cigars, and i ain't no republican! No way, no how!

32. Thanks Professor, no cigar bashing here.

I'm a 2 a day myself.
Humidor with some nice Punch Double Coronas looking at me right now.

[FuzzyDicePHL]

36. Apologies

Altho it is not cigars that the phrase bashes.

[stanwyck]

27. Love it.

perfect.
So. He looks Viet Nam era...did he serve his country? Or, like the other chickenhawks, does he just support war when someone else does the fighting?

[mcscajun]

15. Could you leave the "fat" out of it, please?

Those of us who are fat don't mind the word, we mind it being used as a insult.

The rest of your phrase stands on it own, doesn't need 'fat'.

[ComerPerro]

24. Wonder if he's a "Minute Man"

[Lerkfish]

38. well, ok, but when you get to me, give me time to tell you I'm a

"fucking fat, white male democrat" ok?

speaking for fat white male DUers.

[bribri16]

3. "...after a pickup truck tore through a row of white crosses..." ?

Don't they mean 'after he drove his pickup truck through row of white crossess'?

Of course the RW is never responsible for anything.

[SammyWinstonJack]

5. It's the pickup truck's fault.

:silly:

[AllyCat]

23. So can we apply this logic to handguns?

Pick-up trucks don't smash crosses, people smash crosses.

[AllyCat]

25. Why has he not been charged with flag desecration

and defilement of a religious object? Heck, the American people barbequed Robert Mapplethorpe for the cross in urine photograph. Where is the outrage now, moral authority?

[bribri16]

35. Isn't there a law against desecration of the flag? n/t

4. Don't be so hard on Larry, he's probably addicted to Oxycontin.

Just ask Rush, that stuff will seriously fuck you up...:sarcasm:

[dancingme]

7. Did Larry serve his country?

Military background? Does he have kids serving in Iraq or Afghanistan?

[stanwyck]

28. exactly. He has to be Viet Nam era

right? So. Did he patriotically support that war? Or this one? And what form does that support take? A magnetic vehicle sticker. A lot of macho blather.
Maybe his support is limited to cowardly acts.
I loathe this guy.
He is the ugly face of America.
Literally.

8. Please notice that KWTX (sister radio station KWTXam)

is the one that had planned on sending people to heckle Cindy.
I'm surprised they reported this. But look how they downplayed it.."makeshift memorial". Bastards.

[ptolle]

37. makeshift

Well- It's sorta a makeshift war, except, of course to the soldiers memorialized on those crosses and their families and to the Iraqis we can't be bothered to count. So, in that respect it sorta fits. I expect they reported it thinking, probably rightfully so, that the majority of their listeners would approve of the action. But, since the frightwingshriekers have at least in their minds conflated Cindy and the left wing "america-haters" whatever is done is alright.Bastards is too mild- but not being given too much to profanity, even mild myself- I can't think of anything more appropriate.Perhaps the rude pundit will take this creep on.

9. Larry Northern is a disgrace to the human race.

You just became the face of the puke party. Way to go, Lar, ya dun good! :puke:

[Burried News]

10. Keep on Trukkin Larry.

Northern - now there's a name that must have made him the but of some jokes over the years. Aw what's in a name - a blossom by any other name is just as sweet.

Here's to you Larry - you get the runner up Duke Nukem shitstorm of the week award - it's a little gold tie chain for your Sunday go to meetin shirt.

I wonder if the preacher's sermon will make you a mite uncomfortable - you know like "we might could be a little more respectful of folks who come to visit us".

[stopbush]

11. What? No Purple Heart bandage on his face?

Hmmm?

[Renew Deal]

12. This guy is getting famous in a hurry.

[Burried News]

13. Bet DU could make a bunndle selling these.

Cindy Sheehan Keep on Truckin Flags.

[Pepper32]

14. Look, it's a real terrorist! I'm sure the repukes are very proud

This fat bastard demonstrated how much the repukes respect our troops. :grr:

[WoodrowFan]

16. I think we have

our #1 for Top Ten Idiots List for next week...

[sattahipdeep]

18. He made a lot of money in realestate. (A slap on the wrist) n/t

[Shakespeare]

19. Creepy echoes of the James Byrd dragging.

One report I read said he was dragging chains and pipes behind the truck (presumably to snack the maximum number of crosses).

What a despicable excuse for a human being.

[DistressedAmerican]

20. I Would Suggest Some HATE CRIMES CHARGES!

If this isn't a twisted hate motivated freak, I do not know who is!

[Beelzebud]

21. Look! It's the missing link that the creationists want to see so bad!

Towards the end of the article, supporting (for sheriff, R-naturally) Larry Lynch.

[CityZen-X]

33. Lower Form

Larry Northern, a Texan, the lowest form of white man there is!

[Fescue4u]

34. I wonder if its possible to get a conviction in that area?

Im just afraid that a Jury trial will result in 9 "larrys" giving him a pass. (I think everyone there is named Larry)

[Burried News]

39. Calling Gene Hackman Calling Gene Hackem

Are you available for a down home interrogation of who sent Larry and Duke?

[Wizard777]

41. Did he stop and provide info after the accident?

If not the charges are lite. They would be over looking Hit & Run. That would most likely result in his license being Revoked.

[bvar22]

42. tore through a row of white crosses

row of white crosses AND
American Flags!!!!

:patriot:
