Souter attack - any new info?
I recently learned of the attack on Justice Souter, but wasn't able to glean much info from media reports about the persons who assaulted him. Has anything new been released?

1. I don't even have to look. The answer to your question is "no"
Edited on Mon May-10-04 01:45 PM by tom_paine
And there aren't GOING to be any "new developments" except d=some sham investigation if someone starts making noise.

Of course, if Fat Tony Scalia had taken a beating (from some other than Bushevik Merecenaries and Button-Men) the "kids" in question would have been caught and in orange jumsuits.

But Busheviks routinely let their own operatives go when they get caught or noticed.

Think the Right-Wing Anthrax Assassin.
Think the Plame Leaker.

A Bushefriend committing Trean or Murder can count on the same protection from investigation and prosecution as a KKK murderer in 1964 in Phladelphia, Mississippi had to fear from the Phladelphia Sheriff's Department.

2. hmm.. thanks anyway
There has got to be some sort of police report available soon. That's public records - someone in the media ought to be curious, and maybe will pursue the story. So far everything the Righties want from the Supes, they've gotten - redistricting, etc. Why would they attack a dissenting member?

3. People forget WE are at war
the culture war was declared by the RW long ago. They intimidate, maim and murder and we do nothing.

Makes me long for the days of the Weathermen and true Black Panthers.

5. I Spoke Yesterday
Edited on Mon May-10-04 02:08 PM by outinforce
I spoke yesterday with a good friend of mine who lives half a block from where Justice Souter was attacked.

He said that his condo association receives reports of any crime like that, and that he understood that Justice souter had been attacked by three "kids" (he thought that the report indicated that the attackers were most likely 14-16 years old). He said that the report did say that it was odd that the kids attacked Souter, because he was returning home from an evening jog, and obviously not no money.

The neighborhood (5th and N Sts, SW) where the attack took place is a "mixed" neighborhood -- a place where Justices of the Supreme court live a block away from public housing. It is not unusual for crimes like this to occur.

In fact, my friend told me that two hours after Justice Souter was attacked, a young woman was attacked in about the same location -- again, by three "kids". The woman was litening to a CD, and had a case full of clothes that she was carrying. The attackers knocked her to the ground, and took he CD player and her case of clothes. She began to scream very loyudly, attracting the attention of the folks in the neighborhood (including my friend). As soon as my friend heard the woman screaming, he called 911, and the MPD came right away. He thinks they apprehended at least one of the attackers.
