When fundies attack
He said the attackers came out of a stall and beat Hupper with boards on the face, head, body and arms. Hupper's glasses were also broken.

"He was very brutally beaten with boards. He was caught totally off guard. He didn't have a chance," Bentzel said. "He was standing almost like a zombie. He was in total shock."

Bentzel said he was part of the group of people who rendered first aid and tried to comfort Hupper until help arrived. He said the scene became tense when a group of "fanatical born agains" came along, pushed the initial group aside and placed their hands on the victim's head."They were shouting, 'Jesus help this man. Take him out of his pain in the name of Jesus.' I started yelling 'You get the hell out of here. You go up by that tree and pray. I'm sure the Holy Spirit will hear you,'" Bentzel said.

"He didn't need Jesus. He needed a doctor."

3. Do you like Muslim fundies?
Would you prefer to live in Saudi Arabia?

If not why not, you are still here, complaining about fundamentalism...and yeah, and I'm getting tired of false grievances.

5. That doesn't always go well...
that targeting the elderly and all. Recently some street toughs in I think Hondouras tried to rob four elderly tourists.

When the dust settled, the toughts (in their 20's) had one dead and the rest fled. The "elderly" guys were Army vets and one of them (I think he was 73)snapped the dead guy's neck.

'ware the elderly! A hell of a lot of folks in their 70s were in the Army and killing Germans and Japanese in very intimate settings.
