*Richard Jewell


Don’t you just hate him? Fat loser. Disgusting. He’s the human pig who planted a bomb at the ’96 Atlanta Olympics, and then pretended to be a hero by warning people away from it … just before it exploded!!!! Golly, he musta bin so smart and brave and observant!!! Attention, everyone! Lookit me bein’ a real-life genuwine heeero!!! What a unabomber. Somebody shoulda unabombed his unibrow. So they caught him, and it turns out he was just as much of a loser as we know he was. Lived with his mommy. Wanted to be a cop but couldn’t hack it. So he settled for rent-a-cop. And now he’s dead, age 44, of a heart attack of course. Disgusting.

Yep.

Oh. Did I say he was guilty? My bad. Heh heh. Turns out he was innocent. Falsely accused then, by the sages of virtue in the media. 



The New York Times reported in October 1996, when he was cleared as a suspect, that "a number of law-enforcement officials have said privately for months that they thought Mr. Jewell had been involved in the bombing, even though there was no evidence against him and some evidence seemed to rule him out".[11]

Jewell was never charged officially, but the FBI thoroughly and publicly searched his home twice, questioned his associates, investigated his background, and maintained 24-hour surveillance of him. The scrutiny began to ease only after Jewell's attorneys hired an ex-FBI agent to administer a polygraph, which Jewell passed.[10]

Justice Department investigation of the FBI's conduct found that the FBI had tried to cause Jewell to waive his constitutional rights by telling him he was participating with a training movie about bomb detection, although the report concluded "no intentional violation of Mr. Jewell's civil rights and no criminal misconduct" had occurred

On October 26, 1996, the US Attorney in Atlanta, Kent Alexander, sent Jewell a letter saying "based on the evidence developed to date ... Richard Jewell is not considered a target of the federal criminal investigation into the bombing on July 27, 1996, at Centennial Olympic Park in Atlanta". The letter did not include an apology, but in a separate statement issued by Alexander, the U.S. Justice Department regretted the leaking of the investigation
''
but not for being 
  incompetent asshole scum...   later, .  

Three FBI agents were censured afterward by the Department of Justice:[24][25]

  1. Woody Johnson - Head of FBI Atlanta office
  2. David Tubbs - Head of FBI Kansas City office
  3. Donald Johnson

The dogs had no problem sniffing out his private details and dragging them all across the news. Leno called him the Unadoofus. His mother was, inevitably, the Una-mamma. Tee hee. Jump in, boys. The blood’s fine!

The real bomber? Eric Rudolph, who later bombed a couple of abortion mills and a gay nightclub. I hardly know what to say. Can’t see a connection. The Olympics are gay? Abortionists are gay? Abortion is gay like the Olympics? I don’t get it. Gays should be aborted at the Olympics? Huh?

Fun Fact: Real-killer Eric Rudolph lived as a fugitive for five years, hiding in the woods of the Appalachian Mountains where he ate acorns and salamanders, raided vegetable gardens and grain silos, and rummaged through dumpsters. Bonus Fun Fact: Eric’s older brother, Daniel, deliberately severed one of his hands from his body with a radial-arm saw and mailed out a videotape of the spectacle along with the narrative explanation that the act was designed to "send a message to the FBI and the media." The hand was reattached surgically.

Then there is former-Senator Larry Craig, who resigned after massive media coverage of his guilty plea to disorderly conduct in a washroom.

One of these things is not like the other. The media whores don’t care about guilt or innocence. They care about news, by which is meant fame, agenda and profit. One of the whores, by the name of Tom Brokaw, "reported" of Jewell that "speculation is that the FBI is close to making the case. They probably have enough to arrest him right now, probably enough to prosecute him, but you always want to have enough to convict him as well. There are still some holes in this case." 

"Holes" in this instance must mean "innocence." Brokaw is probably a poet, to use words so elliptically, probably an ax-murderer poet -- a drug-addict, child-molesting ax-murderer poet. In the future everyone will be falsely accused for fifteen minutes. That's not the difference.

Craig pled guilty. Jewell was guilty of nothing. Craig has a trail of accusations stretching back at least 40 years. Jewell’s record includes saving the life of a choking baby. When Craig was arrested, he displayed, perhaps angrily, perhaps arrogantly, his Senate identification, perhaps expecting it to buy him special treatment. Jewell was an honest to God hero. Craig cut short his career as surely as if he'd used a radial-arm saw. Jewell died because of damage done to his heart.

So now we’ll take another look at that photo of Richard Jewell, and we’ll see a good man, for all we know, and one certainly worthy of our public praise and respect. If only we could know about such things before it was too late. But who will inform us? The whores? Better to know nothing, than to know lies.

Man I hate it, the casual injustice of false accusations, on the one hand, and self-righteous posturing on the other. The offending hand should be cut off. Sooner than later. Not just in the by and by.
